I hardly play video/computer games any more, but I still have my favorites. These are the games that I would play if I did still play video games, and also the games that I have already played to death (so probably wouldn't play again) but which bring back delicious nostalgic feelings.

  1. Super Mario World
  2. Zelda: A Link to the Past

[edit] Swinging About

The controls in String Theory are pretty simple. Your little alien dude has four tentacles, and you can fire them in any of the 8 cardinal/ordinal directions. The tentacles latch on to the environment, but lose their grip after a few seconds. At first I wasn’t firing more than one string in any given direction. This is a mistake—when the game speeds up you really need to fire multiple times in the same direction to move around quickly.

I don’t have a DDR pad lying around at the moment, so unfortunately I wasn’t able to try the game as it was intended. I imagine it would be rather frantic!

[edit] Camera Path

The camera in String Theory follows a pre-defined path at a pre-defined speed. You lose if your character moves outside of the screen. Although this makes the game a little hard to learn, at first, it also provides an excellent structure to what would otherwise be a simple physics test. It’s a really simple—if punishing—way to structure the game.

I would love to see this physics mechanic set free of the camera limitations, though. It would be interesting to navigate the character around a free-moving world with some enemies, moving platforms, and other elements to spice things up. There’s definitely some potential here for a larger computer game with more features.

Description: A Tron-style game played with only one key... the space bar. Pressing space turns the light cycle in both directions at once (hence the "Quantum").
