spratters Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Deluxe Hamburger was always a good one: Egyptian Run was bloody addictive. I never beat the bastard though. Mean Arenas was also awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaarg Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I believe Dune 2 is in some ways still the best game in the genre. Almost a work of art in computer gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I believe Dune 2 is in some ways still the best game in the genre. Almost a work of art in computer gaming. Yes, and that soundtrack was brilliant as well. Mind you, it works only in-game. But it works wonders! There are few games where I didn't play my own music in the background. This is one of them. Too bad about Dune 2000 though. I really hoped for a Dune 2 with upgraded controls and graphics. And while those were upgraded, the remake fell flat on it's face on almost any aspect. Such a shame.

roasty Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 there was also this by raven software using a similar (if not same) engine as mageslayer, also from the late-DOS era but win take no prisoners http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs4tFJBOolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 interesting fact: mageslayer actually used a proper 3d engine (the quake engine iirc) but used it to display exclusively top-down graphics. GTA2 did the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
