Childhood Gems

Recently, my sister got re-hooked into playing Heroes of Might and Magic 5. With the introduction of online games, turn-based strategy games and adventure games have been forced into a steep decline, though many of them still live, ironically because of online communities.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to games when genres such as adventure games were at its peak, games which my siblings and I picked up along the way, thoroughly enjoyed, and were never forgotten.

Here are some of the games I grew up with (aside from great, popular titles like Monkey Island)

1) Heroes of Might and Magic (1995 - 2006)
Genre: Turn-based strategy
Developer: New World Computing , Nival Interactive
Publisher: 3DO, Ubisoft

HoMM2 Screenshots: Main, Battle, Faction
HoMM3 Screenshots: Main, Battle, Faction
HoMM4 Screenshots: Main, Battle, Faction

2) Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist (1993)
Genre: Adventure
Developer: Al Lowe (Leisure Suit Larry) and Josh Mandel
Publisher: Sierra


Download

3) Odell: Down Under (1996)
Genre: Education
Publisher and Developer: MECC

For some reason, I really enjoyed this game (which they installed in every school PC) and have bits of marine knowledge with me till this day.

4) The Neverhood (1996)
Genre: Adventure/Puzzle?
Developer: The Neverhood Inc.
Publisher: Dreamworks Interactive

5) Creatures (1996 - 2001)
Genre: AI Learning (?)
Developer: Millenium, Cyberlife Tech,
Publisher: Mindscape Entertainment, Creature Labs

Developer: Presage
Publisher: Sierra

7) Grim Fandango (1998)
Genre: Adventure
Developer and Publisher: LucasArts

8 ) Princess Maker 2 (1993)
Genre: Life Simulation
Developer and Publisher: Gainax



This is actually quite fun, don't let the kawaii exterior fool you!
(especially the M18 hack)

9) Space Quest (1991 - 1995)
Genre: Adventure
Developer and Publisher: Sierra

10) Commander Keen (1990-1991)
Genre: Platform
Developer: id Software
Publisher: Apogee Software

11) Jazz Jackrabbit (1994-1998)
Genre: Platform
Developer: Epic Games
Publisher: Gathering of Developers

Just sharing a few random 11 titles, hope it brings nostalgia for those who got introduced to gaming during the 1990s :) Feel free to share your childhood gems !

WCG 2009

Hey everyone!

Dome Jnr, Mut and myself (Sick) just participated in the WCG 2009 under the team name "PIE", formed just 5 days before the event. It was the brainchild of Dome Jnr. and for that we are very grateful to him. 

We were teamed up with dKiwi, Best_Lame and PokiePoke, who became great friends to us over these few days. Thanks for the training, the company and the experience guys!

Even though we lost 5 - 0 in the first round to Malaysian clan Anomaly (congrats to them!), it was such a fun learning experience for us.

Thanks to all who came down to support us (Dee, Indi, Insanity) and thanks to Clan O9K who trained with us yesterday.

Hopefully we can continue training and play more games in the future!

cheers,

Sick
