[linkgoron]

You won't help?
and Yes I am a Lucas Arts Fanboy(or was, before they made a SW game every week)

 

[BlueWeasel]

I've never been a big Stars War fan, but one of my favorite FPS games ever is Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (came out around 1997). The graphics look like crap compared to current games, but I still play it from time to time.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

FPS:
The Marathon Trilogy
Prime Target
Day of the Triad
Redneck Rampage
Duke Nukem 3D

Tactical FPS:
Damage Incorporated

[BlueWeasel]

A few more that came to mind:

Duke Nukem 3D (FPS)
Return to Zork, The 7th Guest (Adventure, I guess?)

 

[DaveSimmons]

Adventure - Grim Fandango

FPS - Blood, Duke Nukem 3D

RPG - Wasteland, Fallout 1-2, Baldur's Gate 1-2 & expansions

Turn-based strategy - X-Com, Jagged Alliance 2, Heroes of Might & Magic I-III (not IV!)

Giant Robots - Mechwarrior II

 

[linkgoron]

Giant Robots - Mechwarrior II
Where should this go?

 

[biostud]

Fallout 1-2
Baldur's Gate 1-2 & expansions (this considered old?)

FPS?

 

[linkgoron]

Sorry, fixed.

"Simulation" I guess, or "Giant Robots"

Wasteland is an RPG, the ancestor of Fallout

 

[linkgoron]

Well, I went to Gamespot's Search, and searched all the games from 2000 and before ( I marked 2000/1999/1998/1997/1996/1995 and before) for PC with a rating of 8 (which lists all games with 10-8 rating) but I don't know half of them. I added some I know, but if you guys know some of those games, and those games are good I'll add them.

 

[OulOat]

Haha, I finally found my old Mechwarrior 2 cd the other day. Ripped all the soundtrack out of it. Still sounds awesome.

Go ahead an list a few candidates

Mechwarrior is from Battletech table-top games, which were heavily influenced by old Japanese anime which had "mecha" shows like (US names) Robotech and Voltron. More modern examples are Neon Genesis Evangelion, RahXephon, Ghost in the Shell (briefly), Big O, Gundam.

 

[SynthDude2001]

Would Unreal count as an "old game" by now? It's definitely one of the better ones of the late 90's.

Edit: If HL1 is on that list (also from 1998), then I guess you can add Unreal

 

[linkgoron]

advanced search wont load, it's a white page :|

 

[apoppin]

i didn't see Deus Ex . . . hybred

or Thief [FPSneaker]

or Thief 2 [you gotta try the expansion pak TX2]

How old?

RtCW

MDK2

Max Payne

KoTOR

Alice

NOLF

Serious Sam

AVPII

SW: JK JO II

[linkgoron]

I'd prefer if you gave games' full names, and not short two/three letters. I mean, really known games like HL is ok, but please use full names for games.

 

[Schadenfroh]

remove Command&Conquer: Tiberian Sun , it does not belong with those others

 

[linkgoron]

So, what are some other games that I should add to the list?
