When you say old, I'm thinking Commander Keen, Boulder Dash, and Test Drive I.

A lot of the games I played as a kid were from the "5000 games!!" demo disks you get from CompUSA. I remember Quarantine as a really good game, sorta "carmageddon meets crazy taxi"

"OLD"?????

I take it not many of you played the old DOS CGA games on the 8080-based original IBM PCs?

- Microsoft Decathon
- Galactic Gladiators
- Zyll
- Wizardry
- Zork I, II, III (and MANY infocom treasures)

etc....

We had a wonderful palette of 2 sets of 3 colors to choose from too (that is if you owned a color display and not the amber or green monochrome ones!)

Anything that utilizes a 3D card just isnt old in my opinion. Try Ultima 1 - 7, Life and Death, Space Quests 1-3, Police Quest 1 & 2, Hero's Quest...

Anything that uses colour isn't old, in my opinion. It's middle aged.

You don't need a 3D card for Unreal Tournament 2004 :p
