Re: (313) games
Don't forget: REZ (Dreamcast, cause it felt much better than on PS) Wipeout 1 (the reason why i bought a PS) and my absolute oldschool alltime top favourite music related game (also my first in this direction): TO BE ON TOP (C64) Ronny ok, after/beside the movies i drop my most 313/techno game Homeworld (incl. Catalysm Homeworld II) what about?
RE: (313) games
When I was first getting into Detroit techno and similar sorts of sounds, I had a Commodore Amiga and most of the games I liked playing while listening to electronic music were early 3D games. There was something cold, crisp and sharply polygonal about 16-bit simulated realities that tied in so effectively with the music I was listening to then. The number one game was Hunter, in which you pretty much did your own thing in a sprawling polygonal archipelago. You could get in cars, vans, boats or helicopters, and go exploring. It was pretty nice to fly high over hilly little islands while listening to Balil or B12. Another one was Carrier Command, where you were in control of an aircraft carrier, but could also commandeer various aeroplanes and amphibious landing craft in order to invade islands held by the enemy. Launching a simultaneous sea, air and land invasion, and then watching your vector-line installations sprout from the ground after you've conquered an island, was always good fun with a bit of early UR playing. And then there was Virus, the David Braben Thrust-style game. Now *that* was pretty techno! The last game I played a lot of while listening to techno was X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, back in 1998. Chuck on Acid Rain III, lock S-foils in attack position, and away you go...!

... The music for the first games in the 'Super Mario' series sounds like early Transmat cast-offs plus of course, there's 'Out Run' and it's amazing main theme. k -Original Message- From: Martin Dust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 11:45 AM To: Brendan Nelson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313 Subject: Re: (313) games Games - lets talk then...

Jeff Minter... there's a name I haven't heard in a few years. :) Llamatron is still one of my favorite games of all time. I even built this little box out of wood and two old Atari 2600 joysticks so I could play it in proper dual-joystick style on my Atari ST. :) Games - lets talk then...

Re: (313) games
Yea, i had a A500. Ooh.. 'Hunter'. Despite its was quite a dull game (you were spending your time walking around), i used to play it for houuurs. So perfect with background music, exactly when i really turned from house to techno, ive got 'waveform transmission #1' joined to this game in my mind. Plus i remember i had a bug in my game, so couldn't walk diagonally... So thrilling that you were able to windsurf with zero wind on theses super flat seas, smoth :) As for the movie, i think Armando liked Terminator, cause theres a track on The new World Order, the second generation on Warehouse, called 'Terminator', with the come with me if ya wanna live sample in it. - Kiddy. - Original Message - From: Brendan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 12:12 PM Subject: RE: (313) games When I was first getting into Detroit techno and similar sorts of sounds, I had a Commodore Amiga and most of the games I liked playing while listening to electronic music were early 3D games.
