Playing any older games these days?

[Zorander]

Currently playing Dead Space 1, which is not that old considering what a lot of you are playing. A few years back though, I played a lot of HoMM 2, MoO2, Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper 2.

 

[jimrawr]

also going to start playing Lands Of Lore: Throne of Chaos. Thats probably my number one favorite game of all time. Thanks again for that GOG link, been looking for this game for awhile

I just played through Quake 2, Marathon 2 and Doom Evilution.

X-Com Apocalypse is good version i really like this now

Was playing Albert Odyssey: The Legend of Eldean on my original Sega Saturn.

Got a little over half way through though, and just kind of lost steam at a very tough boss, and don't feel like going back and leveling up to get by. So it's on permanent hold.

That said, it's an unknown gem for classic JRPG lovers and general nostalgia fiends, and one of the better titles on the Saturn.

Played through Half Life 2, EP1 & 2 the past few weeks again. I love the Half Life series.

Come on Valve, get Half Life 3 sorted out for us on a lovely new engine.

Installed two oldies this weekend:

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

&

Max Payne (the original)

Both through Steam, so each required a little tweakage to get up and running, but I'm actually excited to go back and play these again.

Are you using Win7 x64?

I have both the original HoMM 3 discs and the pack with 1,2; both crash all the time in Win7 x64, and it seems to have something to do with the sound. If I turn the sound off, it's okay for a while, but then will crash.

Got some trick making it work?

I play Homm 3 from gog.com, instead of the discs.

I never had the original so I got it off of GOG and haven't had any issues. You can try checking out the GOG forums for the game and see if there are any tips there.

Found a HD mod from the GoG forums - http://sites.google.com/site/heroes3hd/

Any of you guys use that? I'm a bit wary of installing user-made patches.

Started playing Broken Sword 1 on my HTPC last week. Awesome and relaxing sitting on the couch just clicking around with the mouse. No stress at all is nice after working long days lately.

Forget controllers on the couch being comfortable, just moving one finger is even more chill!

I recently reinstalled Fallout 1. All the talk about Wasteland 2 inspired me.

I just recently finished Deus Ex 1. Very awesome game. A month or two back I was playing Might and Magic 7, I think last summer I played through Might and Magic 6 again. MM6 to me is much more fun, but 7 has better fleshed out skills and spells. Prior to Might and Magic 7 it was Gothic 2 Gold.

Also, that Lands of Lore game looks cool. I'm gonna give that a whirl, and maybe Wizardry 8.

I always end up having HoMM 3 and Baldur's Gate 2 on my pc. I really want to get Master of Orion 2 working again, but Windows 7 x64 doesn't like it, I don't like how slowly DosBox runs, so I'm checking out about maybe doing a separate partition for Windows XP, maybe see if there's a solution that will let me go back to Windows 98.

No, sorry to disappoint, but I'm happy to hear you enjoy those games as well. I usually read your posts, been lurking a while since I tried to get involved in P&N.

It's not real old, but what about 7 years or so? Company of Heroes. Still a good sized community around it and it's a fucking great game.
