To Siege or Not to Siege

 

Decisions, Decisions, Revisions

Sunday, December 14, 2008

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update: I am working on a few changes to the site. I’m considering two new areas: The first would be about Linux, my thoughts about working with and on it, along with (of course) gaming on Linux. ;D The second would be a retro gaming section, where I talk about older games and/or games that have received little press.

I have to give some props to the games that I grew up on, like Kings Quest, Oregon Trail, Police Quest, Commander Keen.. all the good ones.

What games were around when you were growing up? Let me know by leaving your comments, and I’ll see what I can dig up. <3

My new little Linux corner.

About the Author

is a girl that's been playing video games since she came out of the womb. 22 years later I decided to share these pent-up opinions about the industry, games, my likes and dislikes and everything in between. I also dabble with Linux and make a vain attempt at helping others dabble as well. Actually, I just like the word 'dabble'.

    Hmmm, retro games, eh?

    Some of these were on an Atari 600XL (about the time of the Coleco, and the Amiga), or on an arcade machine, later to be found on consoles/PCs:

    DonkeyKong
    MarioBros
    Joust
    Defender
    Missile Command
    Qix(Stix?)

    On the PC:
    Commander Keen (almost forgot!)
    Duke Nukem (1, 2 and 3D)
    SpaceQuest
    Heroes of Might&Magic

    Bandit Kings of Ancient China
    Populous
    Spaceward Ho!

    Wing Commander
    CommandHQ
    F16 Simulator
    Flight Simulator (before MS!)
    MS Flight Simulator
    Wolfenstein 3D
    …that’s off the top of my head

    Then, of course, Doom… but that’s almost ‘modern’!
