Justin, Nate, and Logan sit down to talk about their favorite retro games that they think are still worth playing today. Check out their list. Here is our longer list (below) (covering more than the video):
For the next episode: What is the best unconventional weapon in a game? We aren't looking for guns, knives, or swords.
After watching the video, I have to say..... why no beer?!?!
Wasn't to bad, though Nate looked like he was having a bad day in the beginning, also I still don't like how bright the set is. But the games are one point, pretty much a list I would have made. And the fact you have black and white in box on the table and on the list made me happy. I agree with Nate, escape from butcher bay is epic.
Good job @Logan and crew... but need more GPU coasters and some beer you coffee/tea drinking hippies!!!! lol joking...but really
My favorite retro game is Interstate '76. I played multiplayer on AOL dialup for hours. I recently found my 1997 CD and spent an hour to get it running on Win10. Game play was still epic but the 1990's graphics were very low polygon.
As for odd weapons all I can think of is Bulletstorm. Number 1 - is Das Boot. I can't think of any other game where your get to kick enemies into jagged rebar and cactus spines.
Number 2 - is the sniper rifle. As long as the crosshairs are red, you can fire without aiming too closely. When the bullet gets close the mouse goes slo-mo and you can steer your bullet around corners to nail the bad guys trying to dodge your shot right in the ass. Headshots are too easy. I always tried for the 'Rear Entry' skillshot points.
Number 3 - I found the grenade launcher highly effective. It fires two grenades connected by a chain like a South American Bolo. I love getting the grenades to wrap around a bosses head and explode a crater in his neck hole.
For odd weapons two games come to mind. First is that south park first person shooter.
Snowballs you could pee on for extra damage at the expense of speed.
Toilet Plunger Launcher.
Alien Dancing Gizmo. Makes people start dancing for like 10 seconds while you shoot them.
The Cow Launcher. You hit people with it and the see the cows ass before you die. It was great to see the cow coming down on people.
Second game is postal 2.
Boomerang Machete
Can of gas and matches
Diseased Cow Head(made people throw up blood then die from memory)
Using a cat as a silencer
While not a weapon per say if you put on a police uniform and started attacking people in front of cops they would join in if I remember right.
Duke 3d had the freeze gun which was amazing in multiplayer. If you hit someone flying with a jet pack they would crash into the ground and shatter. The shrink ray was pretty funny as well.
I am currently playing through The Operative: No One Lives Forever. Which is a first-person shooter released in 2000, similar to 007 Goldeneye on the N64.
After that I think I will play through the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, like Nate said.
If I had to recommend a game it would be Soldier of Fortune, which is a first-person shooter released in 2000.
Also, I would personally swap Worms World Party (on your list) to Worms Armageddon. As they are both very similar, but I think Worms Armageddon has a bigger player base.
Hitman really did it for me. Hitman Blood Money is one of my personal GOAT's. I really loved Unreal Tournament 2004 too. One of the first online multiplayer games I played. So many good memories. So much better than today. Morrowind is easily my favourite RPG, the open worldliness is what I had always been looking for in a game like that. Prior to that the Forgotten Realms Pools of Radiance is one I have fond memories of. That and Ultima 8. I think it was 8. There were quite a few.. Of course Deus Ex just goes without saying. Another GOAT! And ever play Perfect Dark on the N64? Such a great game.
Yeah, sorry about that. I was a bit nervous and the set it kinda cramped so sitting shoulder to shoulder is uncomfortable. Half the time i didn't know where to put my hands ha. Hopefully in the future the set can be a little more spread out and less cramped. Thanks for the input. Appreciated.
Yeah i was a bit cramped and uncomfortable. Maybe if the set is spread out a bit more so we aren't arm to arm next time I'll be more relaxed lol. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
You did great! One thing I do when I have to do public stuff with my hands (unless I'm standing up) is having a pen or something in my hands so I can have them occupied.
