Man, the Strike Commander manual had an ad for radar-guided missiles by Adnan Kashoggi on it's back.

For real?

There was one time when I played, I rolled the score 5 times.

Quake 2/3 (Never really played Q1)
Motocross Madness 2
Gran Turismo 1
Defender
Need For Speed 1, 2 & 3.
Minor 2049er
Jumpman Junior
Tomb Raider 1, 2, 3 & 4.
and others I can't remember.

Some of those seem too recent to be real 'classics.'

Q-Bert
The first mario brothers
Ghosts and Goblins
Punch out

I was a huge pinball fan in the early 90s...skipped most of my sophomore and junior years of high school to play Addams family pinball.

Anyone remember Final Doom? That was a freaking impossible game. I never really got much enjoyment out of it since the 3rd level was next to impossible. idclev to the last level appeared exponentially more impossible.

Yer, I think it was the TNT Evilution episode that had an impossible boss level. There was no way to shoot the rockets into the Icon of Sin. The Pharaoh level also had a bug where there was no yellow key in the map. Otherwise, great game and I had a lot of fun beating it.

Yeah final doom was damn awesome just like Doom1/2, but it wasn't really that hard. I don't think I had many problems with the diff. slider below (nightmare). Having run on makes all the difference. Strafing those damn imps is real fun :icon32:

Now, the old Doom games on nightmare is a different story. I don't think anyone has ever beaten the game like that (maybe except the speed runners) but actually trying to fight along the way?

DOOM 2 on nightmare you run out of ammo on the first level even if you hit every shot, IIRC. I seem to remember ramming Imps with a chainsaw and getting cut in the face at the same time :icon32:
