Rocky Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 I got 3 games for a tenner at Game today, just on impulse. Checked the reviews tonight, looks like I got a whole lot of gaming for a wee bit of cash! Homeworld Kingpin Thief II The great thing about buying these "older" games isThey run great on todays fast processorsThe still look greatThey are very cheapThey are very reliable (ie all patched up)Guess I'll need to take some leave that's the only problem...

MarkVanDamme Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Homeworld Don't know about it Kingpin Yeah! The language is a bit like a 15 yo truant outside McDonalds..... Thief II Quality. I've been playing Civ ][ and UO..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly2442 Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Homeworld and Thief II will impress you. They're great games. Kingpin... well... I'm not so sure. If you like Thief II, check out Thief III, it will be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumkp Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I hate online shopping, it is far to easy. I just spent £50 at Amazon on music and GTA Vice City, and i haven't finished RvS yet, let alone been able to master VOR navigation in FS2002. I got Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines for £2.99 in December '02 Thats a great game, have you tried the follow up? Thats good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro_Monty Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Yeah, I got back into retro games a few weeks ago. Right now I'm on 'Diablo II' which I had't played in like two years at least. After that it'll probably be 'Age of Empires' or maybe even the original 'Diablo'. Boy, that game is old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly2442 Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 What do you think of the music in Homeworld? Pretty amazing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted June 1, 2003 Author Share Posted June 1, 2003 What do you think of the music in Homeworld? Pretty amazing IMO. Yeh I was thinking that earleier tonight, the big orchestra scores really do the trick for big space epics, great stuff. What's not so great is finding decent assistance for games this "old". So many dead links on all the HW fansites Good job GR.net didn't go the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splaster Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Hey, Zork was hard, trying to make a paper map to follow how you move around a typed game. Rocky good job on the buys, Thief II from what I hear was worth the money you spent on it. Good luck on the game Splaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnumkp Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 You got to get a ZX spectrum emulator. Play all those classic Dizzy games, and Jet Set Willy, Manic Miner etc Oh happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Slaughter Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 What, no love for Kingpin? Sure it's a tad juvenile but I had a blast playing that game a few years ago. All you need is a sense of humour and maybe headphones so no one is offended by the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh Kingpin is okay played it (with headphones) for a wee while last night, Homeworld I am very happy with. Thief II is the one that still hasn't been installed yet, and it sounds like it could be the best of the bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
