old games suck.
you will shortly remember why you stopped playing them.

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

test drive was always NFS's b!tch

 

[jdiddy]

Police Space and Kings Quest!! Test drive rocked. How about the Original Lesire Suit Larry.

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"

 

[ElFenix]

freespace 2 and myth 2 are the 'good old days'?

try king's quest.

 

[Linux23]

Raptor, Doom.

Heh this site rules, I dled an old game (dinopark tycoon) and remembered just how impossible it was they got some pretty good stuff there

 

[Actaeon]

Wing Commander. SWOTL.

Enough said.

 

[Biggerhammer]

Heck, I remember Loderunner and Castle Wolfenstein (not 3D) with some affection.

 

[HKSturboKID]

I still remember playing pitfall and Monty's Revenge.

 

[ScoobMaster]

"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!)

Seconded

 

[Kenazo]

When I think old games I think Castle Adventure I still have it if anyone wants a copy.

 

Ultima Underworld I & II

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
