Great Post , Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego” was one of my favs along with “Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards” I run a Swing Band and we always argue over what the best retro games were.

Syndicate! Now there’s an IP which needs to be rediscovered and exploited for today’s market! Thanks for revisiting my college days.

dude. Jaguar had three buttons, start, select, and the directionals.

that’s pretty much a square Genesis controller.

now Saturn had some buttons.

What I think is absolutely amazing is that the games back in the 80s were really fun. Sometimes the graphics did very little to show you how fun the game was.

I see this coming back on PDAs and computer games. I’d love to see more coop 2d games. There aren’t many, and any 300mhz computer could handle it.

Still not as cool as Syndicate…I remember beating that game on the Atari Jaguar back when I was 15…that game was so exciting, and that controller had so many buttons.

I do not know who Mavis Beacon is. Never heard of him. Nor has my mother. Battle chess! And dope wars!

When I taught people how to use a PC, I used games. if you can open, save, close and open again – you have all the basics you need to work a PC.

Good choice of games, I’ve played most myself (never heard of typing with the dead).

I like to think that Ultima 4 taught me to be virtuous. I still think of it whenever I hear words like Honor or Humility.
