Haha. I just had a major flashback. Anyone remember Road Rash?

Vector Man?

Hmm. This game must be symbolic. He is shooting televisions. Perhaps t.v is a source that is destroying all humanity? haha.

TMNT?

I am feeling real Old school now, but these games were fun. Twisted Metal 2!

Refresh my memory! Post some of your favorite flashback games, or a game that makes you say, "dag, I forgot all about that game, they need to bring it back!"

I remember playing something like Road Rash, I recall it had slightly better graphics, but it was essentially the same concept (ability to kick or punch nearby opponents to eliminate them).

These below are mostly late 1990's, didn't get to play most of the older ones. Who hasn't played big red racing? Moon level!

This game had really good special effects, even by today's standards, and I really liked the gameplay (though the guy in this video doesn't appear to realize there's more than one weapon to choose from, actually there are a couple dozen). Skip to 4:23.

Played this game so many times, it doesn't get old.

This was an awesome game, but massively underrated in my opinion. This video literally has only two views (!) and is one of the only youtube videos of it. Skip to 5:50 or something. Sadly it is kind of broken on later Windows versions but it can still be played through a VM or using a glide emulator.

I could probably come up with way more (I used to play tons of demos that came bundled with software magazines, that doesn't exist anymore) but these are a few I could remember off the top of my head.

“If I understand the standard right it is legal and safe to do this but the resulting value could be anything.”

I remember I had all Road Rash games for Genesis... I wasn't counting but it is probably one of the games I've played the most.

Man bacterius! Great games, and i have never played them! That big red racing looks awesome! haha. And you are right about that second game. Those graphics are good. It has that Star fox element to it too. haha. Now you got me on the nostalgia train:

Rainbow 6 (N64)

I never owned this game, just rented it so many times they might as well given me the game. Well, I bought it later on, but that was about 3 years later. haha.

Conflict Desert Storm (ps2)

Perhaps my all-time favorite war game. Intense!

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (xbox 360)

These are my top 3 war games of all time. I am not on the COD Battlefield rage.

They call me the Tutorial Doctor.

Sports?

Jordan v.s Bird

Yeah, I'm old.

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing

I gotta get this one again.

NFL Blitz

NFL Quarterback club

haha. Ol' school for real!

WWE Smackdown Here comes the pain

They call me the Tutorial Doctor.

Vandal Hearts

I absolutely loved this back in it's time.

Direct3D has need of instancing, but we do not. We have plenty of glVertexAttrib calls.

Too ... new ....

I still think some of these guys are "modern games" even though they are 15+ years old.

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.

What about the actual Flashback?

Super Bonk for the SNES (1989) was incredibly addictive.

It was kind of like a reverse Mario: You have to hit the enemies from beneath with your huge head instead of stomping on them from above.
