@vvulturas: How about the Lord Of The Rings games - Battle For Middle Earth 1 and 2.

Simple to learn and great games with lots of atmosphere.

@jcutroni: Used to rent the Sega Megadrive with various games for a few years, good memories!

I know about the new one - no thanks

I need something to prepare me to the movie and get me in the mood.

Perfect so far is X-Wing/Tie Fighter

But you see, im so old (1969) so all reflex based games are too hard :(

Are there any good Star Wars games that an old guy can play? No speedy stuff plz :-)

Ive heard about the MMO --- my thoughts are a bit conflicted .. not sure

Got a GTX 970 so ill be running most stuff

But im sorta looking backwards -- i wonder some game with lots of Star Wars stuff, and playability

I liked the priest type. Looked like a fun class (Gandalf'ish). I didnt see much difference between DX11 and DX12 though. I thought it would be a big, big difference. But seemed trivial. My 45 years old eyes might deceive me though - every new game look good to me. Well not the console games ofcourse, but we all know that. Im not blind - just diminished.

Do you guys know if DX12 comes to my Win8.1 or is it purely a Win10 affair?

Also while i got your attention - do i need a new card to benefit from this DX12 spectacle or am i ok with my Geforce 970gtx? Need new drivers i persume.

Sorry if i derivated from the original topic but curiousity got the best of me :-/

Kind regards

@Jag85: You are probably right - the Lynx had a laughable battery life, while Gameboy went forever. Smart from Nintendos monocromia. They lost in the long haul though - all the pretty girls choose Lynx today ;-)

R-Type and Ghouls'n'Ghosts for turbografx - exellent arcade conversions.

@Black_Knight_00: I dont think so, "Lynx" is the word for a wild cat, and Ataris last console was called "Jaguar" which is also a cat. Probably a theme they wanted to introduce, but unfortunately Atari's console adventures ended with the Jaguar. Most likely because it sticked to the memory limited cartridges, rather than the then common CD-ROM. So back to point - i think the name is a coincidence.

@Black_Knight_00: Haha - youre right! You can actually turn it upside down and have the same console.

PS - Now that i think about it - it was curious that i said "youre right" when we talk about a lefty-friendly console ;-) And the word "Lynx" isnt far from the common word "Links" which means "Left" in many countries.

@purplelabel: I bought a Lynx II and a PcEngine (Turbografx) last year. Lynx came with 11 games iirc. Very impressed with the Lynx graphics and looove Xybots (played it in the arcades in the 80's - good conversion. I was however dissapointed with the battery life - not very impressive.

And the PcEngine/TG is ofcourse amazing. Bought an Everdrive card for it that takes about 3-400 games on it for virtually unlimited playing. Awesome!
