Whats Your Favourite Oldie? I have many favourites! cause You know after playng alot of new games i always end up back to playing my ms-dos games or the golden oldies as they are called, for some reason the old games regardless of their graphics and age have always been more entertaining and more special ;)! These are pices of art and the list is endless . I have many games made in 1990 and onwards ! who would think after 18 years that game would still be played ?Todays Games Just lack the magic i wouldn`t play most of them more that an hour or two before i shelve them , now it seems as if its all about money ,games have become gay ! Anyway check out abandonia for some of the great games ever made .:mad: Abondonia
Lol i got a list of favourite games aswell but the first one i can think of ....Civilization2

I can't really only post one game, because I have alot of old games.
I can't play them on Vista but if I had to sit hard and decide what my favourite old PC game would be... Star Control 2

AMAZING Game!
 
ahhh Day of the tentacle was the shiz niz...

Mine has to go to the whole Space Quest series followed closely by the Kings Quest Series
 
Heroes quest and police quest ..Great games , but heros quest has got to be the best in the point and click series
 
ja, well quest for glory was also good and only Police Quest 1 was worthwhile for me...

Another great was; Beneath a steal sky and also Under a Killing Moon
 
Lol heroes quest and quest for glory is the same game, police quest one was the best in the series:)
 
final fantasy VII.
Blackthorne.
Day of the Tentacle.
Wolfenstein 3D.
Circus Charlie.
 
Beneath a steel sky was cool but a bit short i thought.
I also loved all the lucas arts point+clicks (indy, sam+max, DOTT, Monkey island etc)
speaking of point+clicks did anyone ever play return to ringworld? surprisingly good.

Still trying to find proper working copies of the discworld games.
Also I must mention the crusader games (no remorse + no regret) those where really cool.
Damn so many... trying to remember back the first couple of games that hooked me where ally cat, golden axe and california games (BMX+surfing ftw)

-edit:
Conan the barbarian
omg how can i forget Conan. Oh yes add Eagles Nest to the list

did you try searching abandonware sites like abandonia where you could dowload those games.

The list of great games is endless

Yep, can't find discworld though. Not abandon ware yet. I got discworld noir, but I want the earlier ones the ones that looked like simon the sorcerer

Agree with Police Quest 1:)
 
Maybe I can upload all my old games to UUNET's FTP, and then you guys can all go and get them because I have ALOT of old games. (games like Monkey island 1 etc)

What you think?
Do it, don't do it :(
I know its nawty, but hey, it's old games, not as if u can find them in shops LET alone actually play them.
 
Lol gdiza that would be nice of you:) i also have a couple games i would love to upload
 
I'll see what I can do tonight before we have our power outtage here in CPT (From 9pm to 7am apparently)

I'll upload them too ftp.uunet.co.za/pub/incoming/oldgames/

Unless someone has a server I can get access too (PM me), then I'll upload it to that

:)
