Who still plays a really old PC game? (at least semi-regularly)

[JC]

I never really stopped playing Duke Nukem 3D...even have a few maps I made

Recently started playing Unreal Gold again, working on Return to Na Pali. What a great game, still a lot of fun to play!

 

[Red Squirrel]

I play Ultima Online every now and then, well, I run a server, so I am 99% on my admin char and not actually playing. Working on Christmas event right now.



I also play on the official servers. I've always played free servers and decided to check out the real thing. Been playing this game for about 10 years now.

I still play UT3 every now and then, if that counts as an old game.

Occasionally i have the urge to load up diablo 2 and make a character.

it quickly passes.


however, the urge to load up baldur's gate series doesn't pass so easily.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

One of these days I'm going to dust off my Apple II+ and play Loderunner again. That's something like 30 years old.

 

[madoka]

I still find the original Company of Heroes to be the most challenging RTS I've ever played. And I've won playing 1 vs. 11 insane computer opponents in Warcraft III.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I mostly just play 90s games these days. Did another full playthrough of Blood just a few weeks ago.

 

[malbojah]

I still like to play mechwarrior 2 about once a year, and Descent 2 is the only reason I still have a joystick

 

[motsm]

Not PC games, but I've been going through the 16 bit era Castlevania titles for the first time, as it wasn't a series I played growing up. Rondo of Blood and Bloodlines were great, but IV was disappointing.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

I get the urge to fire up Half-Life once in a while, but otherwise no.

 

[Captante]

Still fire up the original Rollercoaster Tycoon once in awhile.

 

[John Connor]

Simcity 4, Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour, BF2 (I mod the maps), Mupen N64 emulator and play Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, and a Mario All Stars emulator. I have yet to pass Mario 3 without cheating. LOL

And I can play all this on a Dell Precision M6300!

 

[PowerEngineer]

Civilization II

Da fuq? No way, IV is the best Castlevania if not one of the best. Awesome controls, music, and ambiance.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Civilization II

Absolutely this.

Theres a modded 64bit compatible .exe floating about for modern systems.

So I've heard, I just don't see it. Seems like every death during the levels was from some cheap enemy placement designed to knock you into a pit. Then when you reach the boss, it's mostly a single pattern that requires little more than constant whip attacks and a few jumps. The other two games didn't have the constant cheap deaths, the enemies themselves posed the challenge during the levels, and the bosses had interesting and varied patterns. I could go on, but it just didn't work for me.

Not really old but I keep playing Battlefield 2 and the original Star Wars Battlefront. I really need to find a modern single player replacement.

 

[BoomerD]

How old is "old?"

I still play Half-Life 2 and COD2...and occasionally BF2.

Haven't played anything much older than those since I upgraded my PC to Windows 7 a few years ago. MOST of my older games were fine with Vista and my CRT monitor...but they just don't look quite right on 1920 x 1080...and the OS doesn't like them...

Gorillas.BAS cant be beat.

Also, I regularly play Master of Orion 2.

Gorillas.BAS cant be beat.

The oldest game I've played in the last few years was Monkey Island 2. Unfortunately I could still remember the solutions to a lot of the puzzles. The same goes for the old Tomb Raider games.

Sherlock Holmes used an analogy about a person's mind getting filled up with random junk like the average person's loft, logically impeding their ability to retrieve important information from memory. I wonder how much of my memory is filled with film quotes, song lyrics and game puzzle solutions.

Loved that old game! I play Pocket tanks now which is quite similar but with Tanks!!

 

[DigDog]

quake (1) with darkplaces mod. you can even find servers live with people playing.

and possibly Angband, or some other version of it.

 

[dank69]

Warcraft 2, Starcraft, Settlers 3, War Inc.

I've been thinking about tracking down Syndicate Wars, I remember having lots of fun with that one back in the day. I used to love the old Mech Warrior stuff and Wing Commander but haven't had the motivation to get them going again.

 

[Possessed Freak]

I play 1830 almost nightly (random maps keeps it fresh). I play MoO2 and HoMM3 monthly.

 

[Smoblikat]

Half Life 1, Morrowind, UT2004, does CS:S count?

If were talking non-PC games then I play super smash brothers almost daily on my N64 emulator with my friends, along with Rush 2, goldeneye, Mario kart and mario party 3.
