Please can one of the nerds on here pretend that they loved this game as much as I did? In fact, I STILL love this game, but DOS doesn't exist properly anymore.

I never played this
but in less obscure, slightly old skool terms, I got Worms: Open Warfare 2 on DS last week. I loves it
PLAY JAGGED ALLIANCE RIGHT NOW
One of the characters only speaks Russian! It's AMAZING.
JAGged ALOLiance!
Never played it.
Did you have any joy with getting GTA?
NEW GAMES GO TO THE BACK OF THE QUEUE
Bad dudes!
nope. :(
None available for xbox. Blockbuster had loads of PS3 copies though. I'm going to try Milton Keynes at the weekend.
PLAY IT IMMEDIATELY
It's full of slightly racist stereotypes and guns.
*goes to search for a download*
i think this thread needs more Commander Keen..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_Keen
I remember that!
I think my retinas only recovered from the colour schemes sometime during 2004.
haha!!
i'm gonna download them all again!
i only had 1, 4, 6 and dreams
.... :D
http://www.commander-keen.com/
HE WAS IN DOOM 2!
On the secret level where it rips off an end-boss level from Wolfenstein!
:D yes he was!!!
infact id gave up on Keen when they started making Wolfenstein 3D
I got Keen 1-3 and Wolfenstein 3D
on one disk from an Uncle! Aceness!
good work!
dos games FTW!
You can download this thing called DosBox
which is a Dos emulator and then just download the games.
YAY!
Never had you pegged as a nerd.
Haha, i'm not!
ABout 2 weeks ago I was trying to download Worms and I downloaded this DosBox thing. For the life of me I don't know how it works, but I know it does what you want it to do (if you can work it out!).
I then went and bought Worms 2 for £5 in Game, but my laptop is too advanced to play it. Rubbish.
we had this
worms armageddon works fine though - that came in the same package yah?
Yeah that's the one.
I put the disc in, it loads up, then when I click on 'isntall' or whatever it says my computer just won't do anything. Got any ideas?
we gave up on Worms 2
but armageddon ran fine. I take it you've done the general troubleshooting?
I was thinking about
Alex the Kid in Mirricle World the other day that was wicked.
Alex lost the plot when he entered
Shinobi world.
yeah I rember that day
he had to fight his way thru streets of rage world first though so fair play to him for trying
*Hi-Tech World
*Shinobi world
The Dark Ninja, whom was banished 10,000 years ago, has returned to rule Miracle World. He also takes young Alex's girlfriend and use her as a sacrifice. To help Alex defeat the Dark Ninja and rescue his girlfriend, a god enters Alex's body, causing Alex to become a ninja master.
<3 alex the kidd
Seriously, none of you have played this?
Guntrip? THEO?
i don't even know what you're talking about
i can't tubeyou at work :(
THIS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagged_Alliance_%28series%29#Jagged_Alliance
:( means nothing to me
oh Vienna
:D
monkey island
I know it's a bit too mainstream these days because PIRATES ARE SOOOO COOOOOL but it was the ultimate in point & click and one of the funniest LOL games I have ever played.
JAGGED ALLIANCE
I wish they'd still make point and click adventures
I spent ages getting confused by Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max.
They should make them for the DS, that would be ace.
There are some new Sam and Max's
Really?
sam and max and various monkey islands and grim fandango ftw.
Yep
Sam and Max episode one!
it is the perfect format for such a game
i fully endorse this idea and am surprised it hasn't been made yet (to my knowledge)
it has i think.
for the real hardcore nerds
http://scummvm.drunkencoders.com/#whatis
Can anyone remember this?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megarace
UFO:Enemy Unknown
SECTOIDS!!! FLOATERS!!! REAPERS!!! EATHERALS!!!!!
damn straight
BEST
GAME
EVER
.
BEST GAME EVER MADE
.
http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/38
My god
Commander Keen was awesome, Aliens Kidnapped my Babysitter!
Chip's Challenge anyone? Magicland Dizzy?
Of course, as I have often said, and will keep saying, UFO:Enemy Unknown is the best game ever.
and I played Jagged Alliance 2
it was good, but not as good as UFO:Enemy Unknown.
Never mind eh.
Jagged Alliance 2 is alright
nothing special. The original is the greatest game ever. Better than UFO...
Yes I agree
UFO is better than Jagged Allaince
Gah.
We'll see.
yes, you will
me jake
This is a longshot, but does anyone remember Stonekeep?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonekeep
I'd love to play it again, but my computer's too fast. :(
you can slow it down
using mo'slo or turbo. there's a link in here
www.xcomufo.com/x1faq.html
that's also a link to an faq for the best game ever
I shall have a go, cheers!
if it helps
I found turbo to be much better
as in, mo'slo didn't do anything. Turbo's really easy to use as well.
I remember the cover
its well metal
It was sooo good.
My dad and I were obsessed with it. Never managed to complete it though. I think we got stuck on the last level.
"This weapon requires two hands!"
JUST TAKE IT YOU WIMPY BASTARD!
I always used to see that game in Electronic Boutique
then my mate got it but would never let me play it...bastard
Anyone ever play "Another World"?
I remember thinking it looked amazing at the time but have never played it, and wondering if it's worth getting.
Was a big influence on Ico appparently.

Flashback!
woot
yeh it was brilliant
quite scary
Hired Guns
just me?
i'd hire your guns
;);0:):);0;0:0;)))))));;;;;)))))
excellent
four diversely skilled bounty hunts will be around in the morning. You can control each individually or assign them to a group leader.
bounty hunters*
damn it
:D
i'm glad that amused you
despite the potentially de-railing typo. Hoorah.
But seriously has no one played Hired Guns?
well my friend, i'm here to help.

DOS emulator on windows.
I recently got a Game Gear from eBay
and some of the games are incredible - Sonic & Tails, Revenge of Drancon, Shinobi...
Unfortunately I don't have a charger and it gets through 6 AA batteries in about 4 hours.
