We all play the same games most of the time. From the classic FPS grandfather’s to the Point 'n Click adventures that never really got any traction past the 90s.
What are your favorite hidden gems? Games that few people know, but should know?
I’ll start. Ascendency. A strategy space game where you pick an alien race, and try to take over, or befriend, the entire universe. Getting spaceships, going to planets, building bases and diplomacy. The time can be sped up, but do it at your own risk, because the AI does not wait.
Two of my favorites are The Ancient Art of War at Sea which I was never able to run on my pc because I only had MCGA, and even with my CGA emulator it was not enough.
The other was Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors. This game really cemented my love for the Elm Street franchise.
Because of the mcga issue, my most played games were ascii games like Hack, Larn, DND, Mines of Moria.
AAoWaS was a gem! It was one of the few games I actually enjoyed when we got a 386 and VGA, and the old IBM with CGA moved into my room.
Nightmare on Elm Street looks cool
