That's too old-school.. Mine is mostly a 3d old school test

 

[Feanor727]

bah... old school my arse. Wolf3D is pretty old school, as is spear of destiny. Rise of the Triad was awesome, super-violent plus goodies like god mode, dog mode, and (my personal favorite) the excalibat. Blake Stone was pretty cool, and Doom rocked the world on it's release. Of course, if you want to go _really_ old school how many people remember the 2d duke nukem games? Now _those_ were fun. Along with Commander Keen, The aforementioned Sierra games (King's Quest and Quest for Glory series), LucasArts adventure games (Maniac Mansion anyone?). Ahhh the good old days. But I digress...

 

[amnesiac]

Old-Old school:

MULE
Leisure Suit Larry 1
Wing Commander
Strike Commander (with voice pack for an extra $19.99!! yeah!!)
Three Stooges (played it on my C64)

Well let's see you already know my answers as I told them to you on AIM. This is very biased to what YOU actually played in mid 90s

 

[yoda291]

bah, you are not old enough.

What fps game's big selling point was an integrated, "fully functional" programming language built INTO the game.

Hint: You had to access it at special computer terminals, used a DOS wannabe command line, and came with asteroids AND top down shooter mini games already coded for you.

Bonus points if you can give the name of the "programming language"
