Older Games

[Eeezee]

Do I even need to mention Fallout? And I'm not even as crazy as some people, I've only completed the first one a few times and the second one twice. Some people know exactly what to do to do everything, but I feel like I'm still exploring ideas in the game that have to be missed (since sometimes the consequences of your actions prevent other actions from taking place)

I know a lot of people loaded up Diablo 2 recently, and I've been considering it myself

Alpha Centauri, sometimes out of boredom and sometimes because a new Civ game or expansion has come out. I play the new Civ game/expansion and then load up Alpha Centauri and ask "Why couldn't they have made Alpha Centauri 2?"

Warcraft 3 - Only played through 3 times, but that counts. The singleplayer campaign is well-written... well, it's at least above average.

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

The next best thing is Sins of a Solar Empire; it's basically Homeworld, but not as feature-intensive and without a singleplayer campaign.

However, I hear a singleplayer campaign is in the works for the first expansion.

Wish I could, but alot of older games don't like the newer os's. If it wasnt so much work to get them to work maybe.

You'll have to forgive me but I dont consider Deus Ex, Baldurs Gate and Heroes 3 to be "old" games.


My oldest regularily run game is Duke Nukem 3D. There is a Win32 executable available for it.
I also play Master Of Orion 2 in Win95 mode. It works flawlessly in Windows XP.

I play Dungeon Keeper 2 a lot, but only because I lost my Dungeon Keeper 1 CD a while back. The original was far superior for gameplay. More monsters, you could force monsters to do any job even if it wasnt their specialty, and with the Gold Edition you could get 3D acceleration in 1st-person mode.

I'm with you OP. Diablo 2 keeps me coming back (when it will work..)

Also, one of my favorite MP games of all time Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, it may be old, it may be overly simple but good grief I love dueling people with lightsabers!!! Anyone still play this?
