Boo to searching! That's Pilotwings. Where were you all when the N64 came out? It was one of the first games, everyone had it.

So I suppose I'm next.

Well, I didn't get a 64 when it just came out. I got one years later, and one of my first games was Goldeneye.

As for the new game. How many old games look like that? I never got into that kind of game.

Angband, though it could be the Zangband variant, which is far superior IMO. I still play both. They are fantastic games, they just don't make games with this sort of gameplay any more. Think of it as a very very old version of Diablo that is way superior to Diablo in everything except graphics. Definitely one of the greats :D

That 'i' is a monster by the way, either a Clear Icky Thing, or a White Icky Thing. Harmless mob that gave about 3-6 xp at level 1.

And those multi-coloured characters underneath 'AU'... I believe they are - Weapon, bow, light source, armour, cloak, shield.

damn, I checked it up on Wikipedia and that's one hell of a long-lasting game. First release in 1990 and still going strong!

I love it. Just started playing it again, because it works everywhere (so I can play on a really old machine). Had to restart after I got to 24 though, I got blinded and couldn't read any spells... without their eyes, mages have nothing.

-1 hehe, nice to see someone who appreciates my name :)

Okay, did an advanced search, this one hasn't come up yet. One of my all time favourites. When looking for a screenshot, I found that someone had remade it for Windows \:D/ An excellent game, well worth playing despite its age...

The name of the game appears up the top, where I have whited it out. Same font ;)

Looks like the bastard child of backgammon and electronics.

Also I used to have that very avatar.

Isn't it Quazatron? Awsome game! 8-) Although it seems a bit... I think it might actually be Paradroid. :D

Hot dog we have a wiener! Well done DM, it was in fact Paradroid for the C64. It has been remade for Windows in 2006 if anyone is interested:
