Ive been known to plug in the old PS1 and have a gun through the original time crisis from time to time. Fun times.

Also not so old but Steel Batallion gets dusted off now and then for some mech action.

I'm currently re-doing the SP campaign in Dungeon Keeper - a true classic in every sense.

I seem to play a lot of very old games, if i cant play them on the pc i just bust out the amiga and play them on there, in the last 3 months i have been mostly playing:-

Street Rod
It came from the desert
Zool
Cool Spot
Robocod
Superfrog
Oscar

Not exclusively mind, i do enjoy a lot of pc games too such as trackmania, UT3 etc etc

I keep planning to go back to Rollercoaster Tycoon, but I never get round to it. Just too busy!

Still playing Quakeworld, got a new internet connection today and for the first time in over 3 years I have a decent ping, so I might start playing competitively again.

As for SP games, I'm currently playing Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Also working on Grand Theft Auto 3, No One Lives Forever, and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin.

I found a bunch of old games the other day. Older games around 2000 and RollerCoaster Tycoon :eek:

I can't remember them all but I think I'll have a few days of nostalgia when my pc arrives.

Yeah it doesn't seem to have aged and I can still remember the spell combinations! I still play it on an actual Amiga as it ran slightly fast (meaning more food and water consumed whilst sleeping).

Still play both Dungeon Master and the first X-Com. The tactical depth in X-Com is amazing. To this day I don't think there's any other game that lets you destroy the entire map in a mission

Damn you! This made my install Half-life again last night and I ended up playing it for 5 hours straight. Got in trouble with the family and am tired at work this morning! But I'll still end up playing it again tonight!
What a great game with brilliant level design.

BeeP · 15 Sep 2009 at 10:13

Surely CS counts in here

it is quite old now. I load half life once a year or so just to have a bit of a blast.

Older than that I don't have any more, I saw one bloke say megalomania, I absolutely loved that game & would kill to play it again.....I can't get an amiga emulator working on Vista though lol.

You liked morrowind right?

If so, good.

I've never played baldurs gate or the original fallouts... must buy them.

aln · 15 Sep 2009 at 10:26

Lots of good games mentioned in this thread. I like to play a bit of BG from time to time. I would play more, but it's quite hard to find them / run them on new hardware.

By the way, you can buy some pre-packed dos box games on steam for usually a couple of quid. Ex:- http://store.steampowered.com/app/7760/ (i don't think ocuk sells games, so link should be ok?)

P.S. The guys who mentioned megalomania & x-com are awesome.

Pottsey · 15 Sep 2009 at 10:48

Still love Elite 3 the CD version not the few meg disk version. Also Xcom you never go wrong with that. Megaloamania that brings back good memory’s.

OldComputerGuy7 · 15 Sep 2009 at 13:00

Let me see

Descent 1+2
Jedi Knight
Seek and Destroy
Crusader No Regret
KKND

Thats some of the old games i play.
