I need a new shooter game to try out. Any shooter, be it horizontal, vertical, first person, third person [I can get those high mem games at school with the Superline]
I have played most of the R-type series, especcially 3 for SNES, Starfox, Axelay, Gradius, Descent [duh] Unreal Tournament, so on and so forth.
Any other good ones you all can recomend? I'm in the kick, so to say.
-
Max Payne. Seriously. One of Rockstar's good games before turning to GTA and all that stuff. It's on PC and PS2.
-
M.U.S.H.A. for Genesis... Galaga, Uhm... that's all I got right now (For games that would run on your computer, anyway)
-
Geist.
-
Well it`s better to play it on the Computer Becose Its much easier.

I agree with you "becose" it's much harder to play on PS2, XBox and Gamecube. >=(

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Gradius yet?
-
Because you touch yourself at night.
-
NO U
-
the three BEST shooters available for free download online are rRootage, Tumuki Fighters, and Torus Trooper.
available at http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/index_e.html
any gradius game. Strikers 1945 for ps1. Raiden. R-type
-
Okay, herb: I hope you don't mean Raiden the DOS version. I used to have it, and it wasn't that great.... Mainly the lack of sound, i think. [that reminds me.... I should try and find Galactix on the internet.... that was an awesome DOS vertical shooter...]
And no one has mention Gradius because I've already played them all. Ones that are emulatable, anyways. [and Parodius, yes]
Oh, and I forgot to mention, i have played Gige Wing and Zero Wing and Aeroblasters. Giga Wing was awesome, if massively way too hard.
I'll give MUSHA a try, and Galaga.... That was NES, right?
And Yamino, what system is Geist for?
-
No, Galaga was an arcade machine.
-
And i suppose that's the sign for me to get MAME, eh?
-
Geist is for the Cube.
a good horizontal shooter is Hellfire .. . . . or Hellsomething for Genesis.
I"m assuming you want non-console games.
ewww, Max Payne.
>_> Space Invaders give that a whirl. Bubble Bobble is technically a shooter too because you throw out bubbles.
-
ewww, Max Payne.
I'm sorry, but what was that I heard you say?

-
I never really liked it. It just seemed so . . . so . . . not cool. Even Oni made me pay more attention.
-
Opinion is an opinion
But godammit, I think Max Payne is cool.
-
Bubble Bobble rocks. One of the best puzzles around next to Bejewled, Tetris, and Puyo Pop.
Anyways...shooters....umm...I never play shooters >.>
Although if Red Dead Revolver(for Xbox and PS2) I liked that...
-
I should be a little more specific...
A free PC downloadable game, or something from an emulatable console, plz.
I don't own any console neweer than a PSX, and I lack money to get new games for that PSX.
Something like MUSHA, that's just a quick, easy download away is best, but if it's something like a 50 meg download, I can get it at school and burn on a CD.
-
rRootage is the best shooter I've ever played, its available from my previous post. Its less of a shooter and more of a dodgeer, its the most amazing game ever.
Swift, if you don't get this i will kill myself and everyone here. (its less than 10 megs, i know thats still a lot for you but its SO worth it)
please...everyone...get this game...now!
-
Sure thing, herb. I can't tonight, but for sure, I will sometime.

How can you say that you like X while saying screw the original Mega Man in the same post? I concur. You need to leave the internets and never return, or at least wait until you try more variety.

Too late, Kev.
And Blaze..... Just..... Learn. If you're just a stuck up gamer that only plays what he knows is good, and not appreciate the classics [like GRADIUS] then don't speak against us, or even... don't talk about games in general, to avoid conflict....
-
When it comes to First Person Shooters, I would suggest you to play the almighty Goldeneye for the N64, this game is just god damn awesome.
-
Would if I could, NMX.
-
He speaks the truth, though. Go find an N64, and steal it. This game is worth the petty theft charges.
-

Quoted for batchin' truth!
-
Perfect Dark is better, Goldeneye is overrated. Not saying Goldeneye's bad, but Perfect Dark was just Goldeneye times 10.
-
Crawl before you walk, dude.
-
Perfect Dark *WAS* Awesome, but I never found it as fun as Goldeneye, I dunno why, though.
-
Probably because it wasn't Bond. AND it wasn't based after a movie. That movie pwned all. (Besides Tremors, but I haven't figured out HOW they would make a game out of that...)

Ok I like All the Megaman Even Megamn Chase.
I just wanna say that these are the only games that i play & worship.
-
Max Payne IS cool.
That's a fact.
-
Ok I like All the Megaman Even Megamn Chase.
I highly doubt you have ever even PLAYED Rockman Battle and Chase (Well, soon to be known as Mega Man Battle and Chase, since it's coming with X Collection), considering you don't even know the proper name to it...
-

Heh, I can just imagine it....
BONUS GAME!!! You must try and stab the worm in the neck with a pitch fork as it comes out of the hole in the side of the ravine.
Level 5: The hot chick is trapped in barbedwire, get her to take off her pants before the worms pulls her underground and eats her.
What a game that would be.
-
No doubt, but I think it would need more than that.

The only game I can think of that lacks graphics are games like Zork (I doubt anyone but Swift will know it, heh).
-
Zork did rock, though...

Zork did rock, though...
I know, but Swift being the master of DOS games, I figured he'd be the only one besides me to know about it.
So you get a cookie, but I'm all out. Oh well, have this Milk Bone instead.
-
You fail to realize that I am significantly older than you. I know lots of things.
*Takes Milk bone and feeds it to Rush, on loan from Mega Man to help me find the batchin' remote!*
-
Zork? nevah heard of it.
I'm not the master of DOS.
Phex is.
I am merely his prelate. My experience vastly is inferior to Phex's.
And you want a game that lacks good graphics?
Dammit, i can't find that link to the original DOS pong...... Oh well...
-
Dude, don't say "original DOS Pong." Pong wasn't origonally for DOS.
-
Tetris was, though!
(Random game fact o' the day)
-
Tetris was awesome. I need to find me a cart of that...
-
*smacks head* DAMMIT! Now I know why I couldn't find it, I was thinking of Pong when I was supposed to be thinking tetris!
Laz, dude, DOS has no carts! *shot*
Actually, on second thought, here's a bunch of really, really, REALLY, old games, for DOS, naturally. (http://www.abandonia.com/genre.php?genre=crypt&page=0)
-
Pop trivia, what was the first "Home computer" called?
-
Some form of a Mac, I'm pretty sure.....
-
Wrong, "Oddessy."
-
Wrong, "Oddessy."
It might have been called a home computer, but it was garbage if you ask me.
Who wants to move a white dot around the screen? No score, nothing. It's as fun as turning the volume up on your TV. The only thing it had going for it was the TRUE original Pong (Not called Pong, I forget the name), which Nolan Bushnell technically stole the idea from.
-
And then DOS came, and all was well with home computers.
-
And then DOS came, and all was well with home computers.
...And DOS begat Windows, which begat Windows 2.1, which begat Windows 3.11, which begat Windows 95, which begat Windows 98 and Windows 98SE, which...*FACE'd*
...Well, you get the idea.
-
I WILL TELL YOU THE STORY VERILY.

Nevermind, I won't.

I have a game for you, how about Real World Shooter? Why not take a machine gun and shoot everyone that you wanna shoot??? Here is an example of my favorite gun, the shotgun!!![/img]

The first independent version of Microsoft Windows, version 1.0, released in 1985, lacked a degree of functionality and achieved little popularity. Windows 1.0 did not provide a complete operating system, but rather extended MS-DOS and shared the latter's inherent flaws and problems. Moreover, the programs that shipped with the early version comprised "toy" applications with little or limited appeal to business users.
Furthermore, legal challenges by Apple limited its functionality. For example, windows could only appear 'tiled' on the screen; that is, they could not overlap or overlie one another. Also, there was no trash can (place to store files prior to deletion), since Apple believed they owned the rights to that paradigm. Microsoft later removed both of these limitations by means of signing a licensing agreement.
Microsoft Windows version 2 came out in 1987, and proved slightly more popular than its predecessor. Much of the popularity for Windows 2.0 came by way of its inclusion as a "run-time version" with Microsoft's new graphical applications, Excel and Word for Windows. They could be run from MS-DOS, executing Windows for the duration of their activity, and closing down Windows upon exit (rumor has it that Windows was intended as a platform to run Microsoft Office applications first, and only later as a general-use GUI system).
Microsoft Windows received a major boost around this time when Aldus Pagemaker appeared in a Windows version, having previously run only on Macintosh. Some computer historians date this, the first appearance of a significant and non-Microsoft application for Windows, as the beginning of the success of Windows.
Versions 2.0x still used the real-mode memory model, which confined it to a maximum of 1 megabyte of memory. In such a configuration, it could run under another multitasker like DESQview, which used the 286 Protected Mode. Later two new version were released, named Windows/286 2.1 and Windows/386 2.1. Windows/286 could run in either Real or Protected Mode, which gave it access to up to 16 megabytes of memory, and Windows/386 included support for the 386 CPU's Enhanced Mode.
Version 2.03, and later 3.0, faced legal challenges from Apple over its overlapping windows and other features Apple charged mimicked the "look and feel" of its operating system and "embodied and generated a copy of the Macintosh" in its OS. Judge William Schwarzer dropped all but 10 of the 189 charges that Apple had sued Microsoft with on January 5, 1989.
Microsoft Windows scored a serious success with Windows 3.0, released in 1990. In addition to improved capabilities given to native applications, Windows also allowed a user to better multitask older MS-DOS based software compared to Windows/386, thanks to the introduction of virtual memory and of loadable VxDs. It made PC compatibles serious competitors to the Apple Macintosh. This benefited from the improved graphics available on PCs by this time (by means of VGA video cards), and the Protected/Enhanced mode which allowed Windows applications to use more memory in a more painless manner than their DOS counterparts could. Windows 3.0 could run in any of Real, Standard or 386 Enhanced modes, and was compatible with any Intel processor from the 8086/8088 upto 80286 & 80386. Windows tried to auto detect which mode to run in, although it could be forced to run in a specific mode using the switches: /r (real), /s (standard) and /3 (386) respectively.
Due to this backwards compatibility, applications also had to be compiled in a 16-bit environment, without ever using the full 32-bit capabilities of the 386 CPU.
A limited multimedia version, Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions 1.0, was released several months after. This was bundled with the first sound card / CD-ROM multimedia kits e.g. Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro along with titles such as MS Bookshelf. This version was the precursor to the multimedia features available in v3.1 later.
However, the features listed above, as well as the growing market support made Windows 3.0 wildly successful—selling around 10 million copies in the two years before the release of version 3.1, Windows 3.0 became a major source of income for Microsoft, and led the company to revise some of its earlier plans.
During the mid to late 1980s, Microsoft and IBM had co-operatively been developing OS/2 as a successor to DOS, to take full advantage of the aforementioned Protected Mode of the Intel 80286 processor, to allow use of up to 16M of memory. OS/2 1.0, released in 1987, supported swapping and multitasking and allowed running of DOS executables.
A GUI, called the Presentation Manager (PM), was not available with OS/2 until version 1.1, released in 1988. Although some considered it to be in many ways superior to Windows, its API was incompatible with Windows. (Among other things, Presentation Manager placed X,Y coordinate 0,0 at the bottom left of the screen like Cartesian coordinates, while Windows put 0,0 at the top left of the screen like most other computer window systems.) Version 1.2, released in 1989, introduced a new file system, HPFS, to replace the DOS FAT file system used by Windows.
By the early 1990s, conflicts developed in the Microsoft/IBM relationship. They co-operated with each other in developing their PC operating systems, and had access to each other's code. Microsoft wanted to further develop Windows, while IBM desired for future work to be based on OS/2. In an attempt to resolve this tension, IBM and Microsoft agreed that IBM would develop OS/2 2.0, to replace OS/2 1.3 and Windows 3.0, while Microsoft would develop a new operating system, OS/2 3.0, to later succeed OS/2 2.0.
This agreement soon however fell apart, and the Microsoft/IBM relationship was terminated. IBM continued to develop OS/2, while Microsoft changed the name of its (as yet unreleased) OS/2 3.0 to Windows NT. Both retained the rights to use OS/2 and Windows technology developed up to the termination of the agreement; Windows NT, however, was to be written anew, mostly independently (see below).
After an interim 1.3 version to fix up many remaining problems with the 1.x series, IBM released OS/2 version 2.0 in 1992. This was a major improvement: it featured a new, object-oriented GUI, the Workplace Shell (WPS), that included a desktop and was considered by many to be OS/2's best feature. Microsoft would later imitate much of it in Windows 95. Version 2.0 also provided a full 32-bit API, offered smooth multitasking and could take advantage of the 4 gigabytes of address space provided by the Intel 80386. Still, much of the system still had 16-bit code internally which required, among other things, device drivers to be 16-bit code as well. This was one of the reasons for the almost chronic bad supply of OS/2 with up-to-date device support. Version 2.0 could also run DOS and Windows 3.0 programs, since IBM had retained the right to use the DOS and Windows code as a result of the breakup.
At the time, it was unclear who would win the so-called "Desktop wars". But in the end, OS/2 did not manage to gain enough market share, even though IBM released several improved versions subsequently.

CJMErl: YET. It WILL be in the MMX Collection, though. It will also be called "MegaMan Racing", because Capcom of America is full of n00bs.

Yes, but without them, we wouldn't even have Mega Man anymore.
