Emulation - Old School Pwnage

[TekDragon]

Well, i had a sudden urge to run up to the attic and dust off the ol' console systems and plug away at some of the great titles.

Instead of going up to that hellish nightmare of unfinished flooring, poor lighting, and hundreds of obstacle coarse like boxes; i remembered my other PC had a load of emulators and ROMS.

So right now i've got ZSNES minimized on my screen.

Metal Marines is, quite possibly, one of my favorite SNES games. It is a turn based strategy game where you build up defence/offence on an island and launch attacks against an enemy island. The objective is to knock out the enemy's HQs while protecting your own. For offence you get missle batteries and metal marines. For defence you get AA missle batteries, gun-pods, and a land mines. In addition you can build radars (increase AA effectiveness), factories (re-supply missle batteries faster), oil derriks (increase fuel production for launching attacks), and a factory that increases your income. Finally you can upgrade your AA's, MM's, and missles which makes them more powerful but is expencive. Overall an addictive, strategic, and very fun game.


Put your own recomendations here with a brief description. I'm sure theres dozens of great games i've missed and i'd like to re-experience some of the good ones i've forgotten.
