The original Command & Conquer and Red Alert.

Also C&C Tiberian Sun, I consider that an old game now.

Scorched Earth? with the little tanks? I assume this is what you are talking about, fun simple game

SonicRL · 02-08-2004, 07:19 PM

Well..the oldest computer game I'm still playing is Starcraft: Brood War. Man does that game own ^_^

MaGlC_MaN · 02-08-2004, 11:14 PM

Starcraft (the best game ever).. my dad and my little brother recently whipped out the old sega genesis and have been playing the shit out of Sonic 2, thus i've had to play it a lot to get past some stuff for them.

Jerpitcher · 02-08-2004, 11:30 PM

Haha, I agree with Oregon Trail! That game kicked ass!

hosti|e · 02-09-2004, 03:45 PM

Doom
Quake
Jones in the fastlane, god that brings back some seatjumping memories

orangeaidcow · 02-09-2004, 05:32 PM

Its all about the CS! I just still cant belive they made it for XBOX...WHAT TRASH!!!

LNCPapa · 02-16-2004, 06:34 AM

Don't worry- some of us feel it's trash on the PC platform also. I still get the feeling it's only popular because so many people have inadequate hardware to keep up with current games.

I used to love those games. I origingally played them on the C64 but now I havent got a computer that is slow enough to run them and I doubt I could find them if I did. I bought the newer release of Pool of Radiance to play but its not quite the same.
I also still play Railroad Tycoon and the Sims on my computer that I have now.

GraveTaker · 02-19-2004, 07:12 PM

i play battlezone 2 sometimes, and i've been trying so hard to find interstate '76 and '82. Can you please contact me Zerrform about that?

Infernal · 02-19-2004, 07:15 PM

Dont know if these are old but StarCraft,warcraft, and diablo.

I still starcraft play every once in a while.

gamerguy · 02-19-2004, 07:47 PM

I bring up good ol' Wolfenstien 3d a good bit. It seems to be a big time killer while my teacher is lecturing about something inane.

_the_wombat · 02-19-2004, 08:22 PM

Starcraft
Warcraft2
Close Combat/3
Civ 2

spillblood · 02-19-2004, 09:01 PM

DIABLO greatest game ever made

norky · 02-23-2004, 07:28 PM

StarCraft. It's quite possible that I was given up for adoption by a South Korean family.

calixstus · 12-14-2004, 12:19 AM

populous is a good one, but civ is the best

fameslee · 12-14-2004, 09:13 AM

Freespace 2! I was looking around on ebay just for fun, and I noticed that a few of of the collector's editions were selling for over $70!

Gabbyness · 12-14-2004, 02:09 PM

Colonization, HA! I thought I was the only person who played the crap out of that game for years after it became out-dated.

Coppertop · 03-17-2005, 05:43 PM

Recently played through Fallout & Fallout 2 (at work no less).

It's been awhile since I have played last but I always come back to Steel Panthers: World at War. Such an excellent game.

TexanAvenger · 03-17-2005, 05:55 PM

Well... I still putz around with Day of the Tentacle every once in a while, but it gets easier everytime.

Actually, most of the old games I play are Lucasarts. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Sam and Max Hit the Road, Full Throttle, etc. Those were, and still are, some awesome games.

Eight · 03-18-2005, 04:08 AM

Never gets old and doesn't need fancy graphics or sound

Fallen · 03-21-2005, 07:55 PM

Wheel of Time

WheelofTime

It's the first game I played on the PC. An extremely fun FPS game, that came out 1 month before Unreal Tournament did. So, I think that is the reason it never got too big. It has an inovative kinda gameplay to it (for it's time). Personally, I still think its the only of it's kind out there. I have been playing the game for 5 or 6 years, and I still find new ways to do things. Check it out. I know some true game fanatics will like it.

Zeraph · 03-21-2005, 09:26 PM

Morrowind..I still havnt completed the main storyline though im about to.

Drider_it · 03-22-2005, 03:22 PM

tank wars get a cpu clock prog for it heh

Bodyhammer86 · 03-25-2005, 11:34 AM

Sid Meir's Alpha Centauri, I've had it for over five years now and I still enjoy playing it (as the Spartans).

Zeraph · 03-25-2005, 12:11 PM

I finally got around to beating the main quest for morrowind. A little anti climatic though.

Fritzmitz · 03-25-2005, 08:08 PM

scorced earth! now that's old school fun!

NegativeNine · 03-25-2005, 10:06 PM

I remember Scorched Earth! I gotta find my cd... erm.... floppy.

I still play Starcraft occasionally, but I always get beat.
CS, but its not old anymore. Damn Steam.

Latch · 03-28-2005, 05:04 AM

One Must Fall: 2097.. yeah!

Guys who want to play these old games: http://www.the-underdogs.com has a TON of abandonware/freeware/shareware (I think this is OK to post since it's not really commercial games). They also have reviews and stuff of commercial games with links to where you can buy them for cheap.

A great program to emulate dos is called dosbox: http://dosbox.sf.net . They even have a database of games and how well the games play in dosbox. Very cool.

Coppertop · 03-28-2005, 11:42 AM

Scorched Earth. Wow, haven't thought of that game in a loooong time. Time to dust off my floppy (if I can find it).

Janey · 03-28-2005, 11:46 AM

Rogue.

Oh, and King's Quest 3 (two 5 1/4 inch diskettes that had to be loaded on the hard drive of the 286 clone in my hubbie's office...)

Drider_it Junkie Location: Louisiana	tank wars get a cpu clock prog for it heh __________________ It means only one thing, and everything: Cut. Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
