Classic Games: Moonstone

I know this name makes some of you excited. What a game it was! In 1993, a legend video game console, Amiga, was very popular. Everybody was buying Amiga instead of Commodore 64. One day, I bought a magazine about Commodore 64. While turning the pages rapidly, my eyes was caught by a game named "Moonstone". I started to read excitedly and thought it was an interesting game. Next day, I bought the game, fortunately. Why? Let's get back 13 years before and review the game.

Classic Games: Prince of Persia

It was a snowy day. I was at home and bored. Then I decided to go and buy a video game. I was unaware of what would happen in a minute. When I arrived there, everybody was astounded and watching a video game. Of course I got curious and walked a few steps forward to see what they were watching. Then I got shocked. What was that!? There was a man in the game and he was moving like a real person! I said to shop owner that I had wanted to buy this game immediately. He smiled and said that I had needed 1 mb RAM to play this game. At the same day, I persuaded my parents to buy a RAM, and then, I started to play one of the best games of my life.

Classic Games: Nocturne

After the disappointment of Clive Baker's Jericho, I searched my archives to find a scary video game and I saw Nocturne. It's a horror game which was released in 1999 and looks like Resident Evil(In my opinion, it's scarier than Resident Evil). In 1999, horror games were very popular by the effect of Resident Evil. Many of them looked same and we've already forgotten some of them. But Nocturne is not one of them. It's a high quality game that you can play even today with pleasure. Game atmosphere really takes you in. It makes you feel like something could happen anytime. Also there is a sign on the game's box that tells you not to play the game if you have a weak heart.

Game begins at the beginning of 20th century. The main character is a cool looking agent named "Stranger". He works for a secret organization named Spookhouse that investigate paranormal events and murders. Game has 4 parts and all that parts are very interesting and different from each other. You fight against many enemies such as werewolves, vampires, zombies and demons. All of them are designed very well.

Classic Games: Starcraft

Let me introduce you a king of classic video games; Starcraft! People play it even today and I know they are complaining about Blizzard. Especially after they released Starcraft: Ghost. Why did they develop that game, while people were waiting for Starcraft 2? Actually there is a simple answer for this. Many gamers play FPS more than other genres, so Blizzard wanted to catch the trend but we didn't like it.

It was 1998 and I went to visit my cousin. When I was at his home, I saw him playing Starcraft like crazy. Of course I was very curious and thought that it was a super exciting game. Immediately I took my cousin down, took the mouse from his hand and started to play(Please don't try this at home). I wasn't used to strategy games and I found the menus a little complicated. I was very happy when I build a construction unit.

Classic Games: Day Of The Tentacle

Adventure games were very popular in 90's. Today, very few adventure games are released and they are not as successful as old ones. Adventure is a almost forgotten genre now by the effect of improving technology. There were a lot of adventure games in 90's and most of them are classic video games. Firm of inexhaustible ideas, Lucas Arts, released their game, Day of The Tentacle, in 1993. People loved this game and it was sold millions of units, so it became a classic computer game. Actually it was the second game of "Maniac Mansion". After that, developers designed remake of those games and they are played even today.

Classic Games: Flashback

Another World was one of the classic video games. After its success, everybody expected for a second game. But developers disappointed us and a second game wasn't designed. But one day a friend of mine came and told me that Another World 2 was released. It was my happiest day. I got dressed immediately and went to buy it. I bought it, bring it home and put the floppy disk into the Amiga. I saw the main screen and I was shocked. It wasn't Another World 2! That game's name was FLASHBACK. I was disappointed. But after I had played it couple of hours, I couldn't believe what I saw.

There weren't much games at old times. Games were released once or twice a month and five or six of them were hits. Flashback was absolutely one of them. Ok but what was the story? Year is 2124, Planet Titan. An agent named Conrad was kidnapped by some aliens and his memory was deleted by them. You are taking control of Conrad at this point. You have to escape and save the planet from that aliens.

Classic Games: Goal 3

In the 80's, there was no such console as PlayStation, there was Atari. Also there wasn't CDs, you supposed to buy casettes. When a friend got a new game, we used to come together and play it. If we did't have enough joysticks, I used to bring mine and have a good time. But what about the games?
One day, I went to rent a game excitedly. But this excitement didn't last long. Because I couldn't find a good game and chose a random game. How could I know it would be one of my favorite game in my childhood.

Classic Games: Another World

For most of the people, Prince of Persia completely changed the gaming world. It was a 2D platform game and the strongest point of the game was its animation techniques. Smooth animations and realistic moves were unprecedented until that time. It was hard to create this type of games after that. Then Delphine Software released their game, Another World, that would never be old. Another World deserves the classic video game title. You understand that when you play it. Its motion capture technique was better than Prince of Percia's.
