Gordon · 21 August 2018, 15:42

Hi guys

I enjoy playing games with the keyboard so are there any great games you can recommend that can be played by keyboard?
Please don't include RPG /Dungeon / 1st person shooter.

Thanks!

SWIV & Silkworm have keyboard controls and they're great.

If you enjoy the keyboard that much I recommend WinUAE which is able to play ALL games with keyboard

I always preferred to play Blues Brothers with the keyboard, for some reason.

Not sure if that qualifies as a great game, I always enjoyed the Amiga version.

D-Generation, Frontier, Fury Of The Furries, Micro Machines.

would probably need a "list" thread: Action games that can be played with keyboard. Well, you'd have to remove the ones that aren't "great".

(does Running Man use the keyboard ? or Rise of the Robots

)

D-Generation with the keyboard isn't so great IMHO because you have to press 2 keys for the diagonals. I find it very difficult with the keyboard, and playable (excellent) from joystick.

Always loved to use Keyboard in Colonization and Civilization games.

For first laptop had to have keyboard in order to have keypad to play them properly.

SlamTilt, Pinball Illusions/Fantasies/Dreams... you can see where i'm going with this i take it?

Shadow of the Beast II. Lots of stuff to enter by the keyboard

I only know one: TEN PINTS.

Gunship 2000 (you might need to go to the Configuration menu: Alt-P then C)
Worms

Ivan Stewart's Super Off-Road was better on keyboard.

vulture · 22 August 2018, 07:44

Street Fighter 2, Super Street Fighter 2, Alien Breed 3D, Alien Breed 3D II TKG, Breathless, Gloom (and most FPS I'd surmise).

jotd · 22 August 2018, 08:45

Street Fighter 2? It says "great games".

vulture · 22 August 2018, 08:58

Oh yes, missed that! Fixed!
