/vr/ - Retro Games

I wish someone would make a mod of the quality of X-Piratez for JA2. Shit would be gold.

MoO1: its not that bad and actually pretty cozy. I did not like it at first but ended up playing it a lot. It has a unique flair to it.

Settlers1 is awesome, most ppl just dont understand how it works. It is slow. You place all the construction sites, but you connect them later, once the builder is back in the castle. And your soldiers only get good in castles and storehouses. Love it still and played through all the missions.

Civ1 and colonization are both still great but their combat system is utter shit. And it never got any better in the sequels.

Dune2 was ok, one had to be fast with the keyboard controls to master it. The midi soundtrack made up for the crappy controls.

Warcraft1 is shit indeed but so is the entire series.

For me the only case of a really shitty series starter is Metroid. The controls in the NES version are so clunky, you cannot kneel or jump and shoot downwards. I simply do not enjoy playing that. The later gameboy sequel was already way better.
