Tetris!!! Especially Dungeon Dwellers Design's version originally named ACiD Tetris, but now known as Super ACiD Block Attack. I will always fondly remember it as ACiD Tetris though

I'm still a huge fan of the Leisure Suit Larry series. There are some old ones that I've tried installing, with no luck. There was one called TV Sports Boxing, and 4D boxing. Maybe I just don't have any lucky with my old boxing games.

Actually, I borrowed a friend's box of X-Wing Alliance, and it was scary how I somehow instinctively remembered the keys, which were essentially the same when I played TIE Fighter or X-Wing over seven years ago. It also reminded me that I need to get a new Flightstick where the pots don't spike near the deadzone.
That, and System Shock. My sound card would get flaky in the game after 20 minutes, but I'd just quit, reboot, and keep at it. Love that game, way ahead of it's time when it came out. I've been trying to get an old computer so I can play those games and 3dfx games Longbow 2 and Independence War to run. Never seemed to like these newfangled 2 gig computers with over 512 megs of ram.

I've beaten Loom a few weeks ago (the 256-color talkie version! w00t!). I love old Lucas Arts games...
Currently playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3, with occassional mesochistic rounds of ABUSE (remember that old DOS game? with the gun-toting alien?).

This is my favorite thread. I've gone out and d/led a bunch of these games (well the free ones at least).
Most of the old games I play aren't all that old because Windows 2000 won't play most of them, even with "Win95 compatibility" turned on. I started playing Fallout under WineX a few months ago, distractions have prevented me from playing it more though. |

Lucas Arts and Sierra made the best games. Blizzard also. Pretty much anything they've ever released are games that I revisit every so often, and not just for the sake of nostaglia, but because they're fun, and I still enjoy playing all of them.

 Glad to see someone else has heard about it. Here are some games I REALLY want to play but can't for whatever reason: Dungeon Master 2: Legend of Skullkeep - very nice D&D-style dungeon crawl. Just doesn't work on modern PCs. Poppycock. Epic - A space sim. I remember playing this when I was a wee lad... I have a good feeling about this game, but very few memories. I want to find it. Bolo - Found it on a demo disc a few years ago. Its a Windows game involving a ball on a chain or something.. You use your mouse to create inertia and move the ball to solve puzzles and such. It was very fun and addictive. Never seen it anywhere again. Spy (not sure of exact name) - Its one of my life goals to find this game. The last time I played it was in Soviet Russia, when I was 6 or 7 years old (late 80's), on a 286 machine. All I remember was that the first stage involved me piloting a hang-glider, and avoiding getting shot down. The second stage had me driving a car and spilling oil to slow down pursuers. Never got past the second stage  If anyone can help me play these games again, I'll be forever in your debt. |

Oh wow, Robosport. I was just thinking about that the other day when I d/l'ed the Combat Mission demo. The whole "plan your attack turn and then watch it in real-time" thing is exactly the same. Although with much better graphics and options, of course.
I still boot up the Monkey Island games occasionally. I even bought the last one (Curse? Return? the cartoony one, anyway) from a bargain bin recently, but I haven't played it because I never beat the third game, and I read that there's a lot of "in" jokes in the last one if you've played the whole series. X-Com rocks (especially Apocalypse, although nobody else seemed to like it), but I can't get it to run. I'm waiting on that new UFO game. Civ is always a pleasure. |
