Old PC games you still play
 

Just wondering what old PC games are still in your game rotation. And how do you manage to play these outdated games on high end systems.
Me? I still occasionally go back to the AD&D Gold Box games. The games like Pool of Radiance (original), Curse of the Azure Bonds, and Secret of the Silver Blades. The first one came out in 1988. XP won't run these, but I've still got my Win 95 233 MHz to run these games.

Master of Orion 1 and 2 (mostly 2 since its a updated version of 1) Starcontrol 2 (best rpg/action game ever) Starflight (on occation) D/generation, every ultima game on occation but ultima 7 is my favorite. some crazy old games like black magic and below the root. those you need an apple ][ C emulator to play. but its worth the hassel for sure.

every now and then i will go through the original duke nukem side scrollers....and the other apogee, epic side scrollers like jill of the jungle and jazz jackrabbit....

The tetris game from "Best Of Windows Entertainment Pack"

(and ski free) :S

I've still got a few old ones---Quake 1 and 2, Turok, Forsaken (excellent, btw), Interstate '76. These aren't that old but are my oldest.

Action Quake 2 although it's been a few months since.

Stars! and scorched earth. I do have an old board/computer combo game from '88 I sometimes play when friends are over.

wow, i must be young. Old computer games to me are like Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (the original, not sun) and F-117A...

Diablo 1...

Gotta love those ASCII graphics. :)

Ski Free ROCKS!!!1
Also, The Adventures of Willy Beamish, Police Quest, Wolf3D, and good ol' Doom

Still love Descent: Freespace....
Might not be all too old to you all, but I have yet to find a flight game that compares to this...

Thief I: the most unique fps i ve ever played (hate the zombies)

Baldur's Gate II....Counterstrike...Snood...poker?

Ski Free huh? That's pretty old school...

I still play this stupid executable game, "Snowcraft"...3 little kids vs a bunch of a elves shooting snowballs at each other, it's pretty entertaining...I'm pretty sure download.com would still have it yeras later...

CS is still a favorite though!:hmm:

Nethack
X-Com
System Shock
Doom

although recently, all i've really played is WC3: Frozen Throne

I pull out the oldies every once in awhile

X-Com
MOO II
Alter Ego ( on C64 emulator)
Ultima Underworld
Gold Box Games

The greatest computer game ever to be used in school...OREGON TRAIL!

gl_quake

Janes longbow 2
 

The definitve helicopter combat sim. Nothing has come close to it since then. Sadly... no one left to fly as my wingman or be my copilot... but then again no one wants to be stuck in the front seat...

its all about "Jones in the Fastlane". oh, and Kings Quest VI

Oooh... I love these threads
 

StarControl 2 (StarControl - Timewarp - Bitchin' remake, networkable!)
Loom, Monkey Island 1, 2, and The Dig (ScummVM - Plays old LucasArts Games)
Slash'em (My favorite nethack variant - Slash'em Page)
Ultima VII & Serpents Gate (Exult - 2K/XP emulator for U7 engine)
Paradroid (Cool clone called Freedroid)
Jumpman (Few win32 clones here: Jumpman Lounge)
Abuse (Get your Win32/Linux versions here.)
Trailblazer (God I loved that one on the C64. Win32 version here.)
Turrican (Another brilliant C64 classic. Win32 version here.)

Other NEW variants on older games.
Crimsonland (Always felt like a derivative of Abuse to me. D/L it here.)
Decker - Nethack cyberpunk style!



Well, I hope you try some of these out for yourselves! They're all pretty damn good, IMHO.

MOO2, Harpoon2, Blade Runner, Doom.

I'm old. What can I say?

Myth TFL

Running over 6 years now.

Lords of the Realm II and Silent Service

Where's 'Betrayal at Krondor'

My favorite non-Bioware RPG to date.

Kings Quest 4 and all the LSL games

I wish I still had my Duke Nukem game, or I'd have it on this computer. Man, nothing tops Quake 1 though...I love that game!

I still play Quake I regularly - especially with Tenebrae and glQuake making it so beautiful.

Command and Conquer.

x-com
myth2: soulblighter

i still play Sid Meier's Pirates- its gotta be late 80's
and it still rules!

<b>Tribes!</b> - i play at work, when i can. Still a great jump in-jump out game.

Jedi Knight 1, star control 2 and the original silent hunter...

such a pain in the ass getting them to work in winxp though


Oh yeah, leasure suit larry!

Pirates, good.

X-Com, better.

Civilization, best (can't believe I'm the first to mention this one).

Myst 1
FF7
Pharaoh
and best of all....NOX!

I'd still play Duke Nukem 3d if anyone else still did. Best FPS of all time.

another myth player? i'm impressed...Ya Myth:TFL as well. I got duke nukem in a pcgamer and played through it, oh the memories

X-Com, Starflight, Bards Tale 1-3, Master of Orion, definitely the Gold Box Dungeons and Dragons games.

I have a copy of Bards Tale II for the PC but the music for it is so much better on my Commodore 64 emulator :)
