Hellbender is where I got my common online handle, though spelled incorrectly: Counciler (should be "The Councilor")

I first played Fury3 demo as a little kid, though was terrible at it. Later on I bought Hellbender with a new computer and played the hell out of it. I still remember being terrible at it too... but it was so much fun. I hated those Bions, but LOVED collecting the weapons.

Brings me back to my first time playing C&C demo shareware... GDI mission 1. Good times.

Not enough gunfire, screams and squished infantry sounds. Then again, when I think of C&C, I mostly think of RA1, and this track (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zgm4Dc6UVc).

Post by: BloodBird on 25 Nov 2012, 11:48: I recall there was one day, I got a hold of a copy of the sequel to one of my youth's finest games. And I spent all night playing it, from late in the evening until morning came, beat the game in one setting. One of the most awesome nights in my life, it was glorious (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8BFraoagpo&list=PL872821B4B48E752B&index=18).

Here's another C&C tune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OutQ4qqxB0), courtesy of Tiberian Sun. Anyone who's played the game should recognize this - it plays at the start of every single mission.

I'm tempted to dig out stuff from the absurdly good TA and UT soundtracks, but then it'd be borderlining into stuff that's not old enough for proper nostalgia :p

Wings is still one of the most immersive games I've played to date. The journal with its regular anecdotes on daily life in the squadron really made the game come to life. Whenever one of the old-timers on the flight roster went down in flames, it felt like a real loss too.

I just discovered that there was an attempt on Kickstarter to do a re-release of Wings - but it already failed. Sadface now.

Aaaah, Adigo for Strings.

I recall playing the game when this poped up, and my mother asked what I was doing. I ended up explaining to her what I was playing and what was happening in that mission. A little weird (as a teen you don't really consider your botanist mother to be very interested in computer-games ;)) but she seemed genuinely interested and made some comentary on how fitting the song was :D

As for classics, here's another game I borrowed from a friend, right before I came down with a serious case of the flu.

I was sick for a week (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcsEfkNeRm0), but it was worth it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQgG_TAGSfM).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxHKo35J010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxHKo35J010)

Seriously, this song just makes me want to incite violence on an epic scale. Try playing it during a fleet fight, and you'll find yourself frothing at the mouth in a blind rage as your guns suddenly have a 1000% damage bonus. You'll set a collision course with the nearest Titan, shoot a hole in its hull and fly through it as it explodes around you, all while screaming so loud IRL the cops will be called.
