The Dizzy range was the bek I completed each and every one of them, even the one that came out on the mega drive?

I don't know it this will be in the Monkey Island remake, but it sure works in the original Atari ST (probably Amiga and PC too)....

 

Let Guybrush drown when he gets thrown into the water...

 

It takes 5 or 10 minutes real time and AFAIK is the only place you can actually die in MI.

 

Definitely didn't work on the PC, on something like my fourth run-through of the game I got bored and left him underwater for a few hours to see what would happen. Nothing did.

@JamesB

 

I can only vouch for the Atari ST version, at the time I CBA trying it on the other two once I'd seen it.

 

It's a shame you didn't get to see it, it was funny.

Humbug, free text adventure game by Graham Cluley

 

Ah.. here we see another side of "Mr Sophos"!

[HMCTech]

Duck Hunt

 

And by show of hands who used to get bored and walk right up to the screen and shoot them

[tmcd35]

The Amiga had a fantastic series of Freeware games disks known as the Assassins collection -

 

Assassins Games 1 - 200

 

Some, in fact a lot, of these games where of top notch (at the time) almost commercial quality. They are still available for free legal download (Back to the Roots - Amiga Culture Directory Project) for use in an Amiga emulator.

 

The breakout clone, Poing (disk 35), was particularly addictive. And, since Duck Hunt reminded me of all this, Zombie Apocalypse (disk 118) was also a lot of gory fun

Populous

nice! I won't mention Leisure Suit Larry as earlier posted but wouldnt Rise of the Triads have been a bit unsuitable? As great a game as it was, it was merely an excuse to marry the biggest possible guns with the most possible gore

Ah wow... someone revived this thread.

 

I'm only 21 (last saturday !) and I've played nearly every game listed in this thread.

 

Games worthy of a mention:

ZX Spectrum;

Lords of Midnight

Doomdark's Revenge

The Hobbit

Space Crusade (for the Warhammer fans)
