What old games are you guys still playing on your new rigs?

 

I just got IL-2 Sturmovik today in the mail, I bought it for $5 on ebay last week. I haven't played it in years since on my HP with a 433mhz Celeron and a Geforce MX420. Hopefully my new system will play it. I like Star trek armada too, but my new rig wont play it. I also like Silent Hunter II but it wont play either. I guess thats why I keep my HP 560w around.

 

I saw the updated IL-2 1946 is at Circuit City for $20, I might buy that soon.

I'm always going back to Starcraft. That game is just a classic.

:withstupid:

<<< Any surprise? I mean really.

 

 

If it wasn't a DOS game I'd find a copy of Privateer II. I'm probably going to try Diablo again at some point. I never played FarCry due to having ancient computer when it came out so I may see if I can find a cheap copy of that lying around.

Does anyone remember a game called Oulaws by Lucas arts? That game was fun. Can't find it.

 

Let me rephrase. I can't find a cheap copy. People on ebay want 30 -40 bucks.

Not played as much recently, but no less loved, is Neverwinter Nights (yes, the original). I also occasionally play Civ III gold, but the games end up taking too long and are not as fast paced as I like. (I know. American right?) I also recently found a demo of Quake III arena, and have had much fun with that both on my desktop and my tablet :)

I still play the original DoD once in a while. Other than that I really only touch newer games. Il-2 is always fun (but damn hard) although I wouldnt call 1946 an older game

X-Com Apocalypse - it took about a week to get it running on xp and is blatantly impossible on vista so i ended up buying a cheap HDD and formating it with ubuntu - about a week longer messing about with WINE and i finally have working x-com again :O)

 

got bored of it about 2 days later though, but have stored the hdd in my loft now in case i get withdrawel again :O)

 

*remembers the days when you could use a hex editor to give you infinite money* damn this newfangled serverside account storage!
