Not real old I suppose, since I get rid of ones I don't play anymore...... With one exception 😉


Star Wars Empire at War (Forces of Corruption) Skirmish mode.
BioShock
FarCry
Fear
Giants ------ They need to make Giants 2, that game is awesome!
 
Sim City 4 Been through 2 comps 3 OS and probably 4 HDs and still going strong

CC Red Alert, been through 4 comps 4 OS and even more HDS and still holding on strong

Red Alert has been somewhat unstable for me ever since I got a GTX 280 a few weeks ago, crashing every now and then during skirmish games. I don't know how that could cause it, as the game is not 3D accelerated at all, but I noticed an increase in the crashes around the time I got the card. The crashes used to occur but were much less frequent on my old X1900 and with all other systems I've used.

I've been playing RA a lot recently with a TC I made many years ago, and it's tons of fun in multiplayer. At least my laptop can still run it fine.
 
Great suggestions everyone! Total Annihilation and Alpha Centauri both came in the mail today, purchase for very cheap off of Amazon. Keep them coming guys, thanks.
 
I want to eventually reinstall and play those I never finished but kept the saved games folder:

Myth II: Soulblighter
Thief Gold/II The Metal Age/III (Deadly Shadows)
Hitman II/III
Homeworld I
The Chronicles of Riddick, Escape from Butcher Bay - Director's Cut
etc....

Remember Delta Force 1 by NovaLogic that had all software rendering and ran like crap but was fun to crawl around in the software rendered grass?
I miss the days of Delta Force: Land Warrior online as well with like 50 or 60 players on a server.
I still remember the hollow pop sound of the grenade launcher.
 
Another vote for Homeworld I (and Cataclysm). The game was amazing and was considered the game-of-the-year for 1999. The graphics, the gameplay and the musical score were just amazing for the time and are still very good 9 years later.
 
Dungeon Keeper (with 3d mod)
Severance: Blade of Darkness
Starcraft
Disciples 1 and 2
Heroes of Might and Magic III
 
Starcraft.
Heroes of Might and Magic II (Yes, that is a TWO).
UT Classic.
Death Rally.
Jazz Jack Rabbit 2.
Jetpak.


I'm seriously thinking about going back to Diablo II...But my characters have expired and I don't want to start over again from crap and doing MF to find stuff.
 
I think the following are at least 8 years old (and maybe as old as 10 years):

I always replay Shogo: Mobile Armor Division every once in awhile. And since I cannot stand anime, I assume it's because I actually like the game play a lot.

Need For Speed Porsche Unleased is still my favorite driving game.

And Star Wars: Rogue Squadron is my favorite flying/Star Wars game. Too bad it is such a bitch to get working on newer operating systems (Win XP Pro).

 
I am musing about the idea of getting a nice, new joystick and loading up X-Wing and Tie Fighter for some Space Sim goodness! I hear there is quite a community doing mods for it and I hope to try for some Multiplayer of some of the classic missions.

I remember not long ago going back to play Bards Tale II: The Destiny Knight to see if i could acutally finnish that game completely!
 
Did you finish it, Nate? I have that on a floppy, lol. Was a PITA without any automapping...

Currently playing Clive Barker's Undying. It's a blast. Gonna fire up System Shock 2 again @ some point.
 
Never did finnish it. I used to have the maps and everything for them printed out somewhere but I need to find them again. I dont see how you could finnish it without the help and all of the riddles and stuff in the game. Definately a hard game to get through but i got pretty close. I think I first played the game when I was 7 years old. How does the automapping work?
 
yuri's revenge
sim city rush hour
Sid Meiers Railroads / Railroad Tycoon 3
Sid Meiers Pirates
Starfleet Command 2
 
Freecell, can't shake it off.

The Homeworld series in general was just great. Any chance of a new one coming out?
