I recently brought SimCity 2000 for 99p!
Since then I am currently on the lookout for any old games, but none leap to mind; so here is a question:
what old games does everybody like?

My top 5 are
1. Nox (<-awesomes!)
2. SimCity 2000 (The monster!)
3. Doom (<- can get on Nintendo ds! unfortunately you need a full copy of doom for it to work properly )
4. Heroes of Might and Magic III (<- £4.77 for the compete version (I just brought it )
5. HalfLife: Opposing Force (newest of the lot I think... still...)

P.S you don't have to come up with 5 like me, I just have still got the rose tinted glasses on

P.P.S Sorry, I appear to be a bit "link happy" today

Off the top of my head, and subject to revision:

1. Deus Ex
2. Mechwarrior 4 (3 or 2 if 4 is too recent)
3. Baldur's Gate II
4. Unreal Tournament
5. C&C Tiberian Sun

In no particular order, off the top of my head:
Quake, Quake 2 + expansions, HalfLife + Opposing Force, Unreal, Unreal: Return to Na Pali, Unreal Tournament, System Shock 2, Red Faction, Deus Ex and Serious Sam.

No particular order:
Unreal Tournament (UT99 to be exact)
Civilization III (Not necessarily old)
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
The Elder Scrolls III. Tribunal
The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Age of Empires II
Age of Empires II: Conquerors
Baldur's Gate 2

I think I covered about every game I consider to be older.... without going overboard XD

Something tells me you like the Nintendo 64. . .

I was practically raised around playing N64 games. That and the 64 had some of the best games anyways. I never got into PC games until UT2004 anyways.

In no particular order:

Doom 1, 2 and expansions.
StarCraft
Age of Empires 1, 2 + Expansions
Diablo 1 + 2 + Expansion
C&C - Red Alert
Command & Conquer
Total Annihilation
Warcraft 1, 2 + Expnasion
Unreal 1, + Expansion (although the Expansion would hve been better with out the vocal intermissions!)
UT99
Half-Life + Opposing Force
Quake 2 + Expansions
Quake 1 + Expansions
Quake 3
Heretic
Hexen 1 and 2
Wolfenstein 3d

EDIT: Almost forgot:

GTA2
Commados
Road Rash

Doom and Starcraft are 2 of my favs. I think those are the games we've still played the most! And HL1 deathmatch was awesome

1) Dungeon Siege + expansion
2) Morrowind + expansions
3) Fallout 1, 2
4) WH40k Chaos Gates
5) Duke Nukem
6) Redneck Rampage
7) Shadow Warrior
Jagged Alliance 2 + expansion
9) Hexen 1

I would say Doom and D2:LoD... but then again I did just get doom on my DS (may post some pics soon)

Raziel

P.S
Just learned that if you register HL1 then you get both expansions for free! (I played blueshift first as I have never played it before)

Speaking of old games, I've heard of emulator for the nintendo, super nintendo, n64, etc. I think you can just point them to some file that represents an image of the game cartidge? Dunno about the legalities, though, for such old games and systems.

There are emulators around; they are "for backup purposes only". But no, you have to get the file to match the game type eg
GameboyAdvanced = *.gba
GameboyColour = *.gbc
I back up my gameboy games; they only have a limited lifespan (they each have a watch-battery in them, once that goes you have to take the cartridge apart to fix it, hence the backing up of my games)

Raziel

P.S as for the legality of it, they are ONLY FOR BACKUP PURPOSES!

P.P.S DS Doom!

The lower screen can be a console or a map!

N.B Just so you know "DS Doom" is counted as a homebrew game (opposed to a ROM) so is not illegal (Yay!)

in no particular order:
Zelda majoras mask
zelda ocarina of time
starcraft and expansions
super metroid
UT99
Perfect Dark (MAYbe the best fps ever, in my opinioon, of course... )
Age of empires 2
smash bros.
half life and oposing force expansions
Demons crest

lol Doom looks epic on a pink DS.

Doom 1 + 2 + Expansions
Doom 3
Doom 64
System Shock 2
Quake 2
Quake 1
Redneck Rampage
Sonic 1 + 2 + 3 + S&K
Earthworm Jim
Road Rash

Honourable mentions:

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Age of Empires 2 + Expansion (in multiplayer)

In no particular order, and likely missing some games.

By the way, Doom on DS makes me so want a DS!

Unreal is not on your list.

Well, I love the game, but its just not a game I play very much. I never had it until like, last year.

I know this was directed to Xav, but I might as well fill in my own reason. I never played it. Nor will I. I'm still a racing games player first and foremost. Although I can't find any decent racing games right now.... although a friend of mine recommended TXR3. Played Burnout Paradise and DiRT demos and wasn't exactly too pleased.

DiRT looked to be simply too specialized, so I think I'd have rather stuck to the TRD series.... if they actually had continued it instead of stupid GRiD and DiRT... Burnout Paradise didn't handle the same way as previous Burnout games whatsoever so much so that I just disliked the gameplay. The crashes looked awesome, but I still want more gameplay than flashy wrecks. That and I could never see a damn thing that was going on due to the horridly placed camera angles.

I might try out GRiD just to see if it would be worth even two cents... then possibly NASCAR 09... but I have 08 right now and it's doing just fine as is. Don't see ANYTHING after that...

Since this is the only part actually relevant to my post, I will limit the quote to that.

So why not? Why aren't you going to give Unreal a shot like you did for UT2?

Actually my bro is the only reason I even installed UT2 on my compy. He got it for free and ended up playing it and liked it actually. Then I played it and found it fun and installed to my compy. So basically because it was a free thing that my bro got (free as in free from some random thing, not illegally free).

Interesting, lemme see.
Half Life 1 was the first fps I ever played.
Unreal,
Unreal: Return to Napali
Serious Sam 1
Serious Sam 2: The Second Encounter (far far too addicting and far too much fun)
System Shock 2
Half Life Opposing Force.

I've always wanted to play Half Life Blue Shift but never had the chance to. Has anyone here played it? Any good from a scale of 1 to 10? I'm asking since I havent played it and that I dont expect it'll be sold in Gamestops, Best Buys, etc here in the USA..

Blueshift is good but very short.
Also, Serious Sam 2 and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter are two completely different games.

Download steam (from here and register Half life and you should be able to download Blueshift as freeware, it is a good game, a little short but hey, you're getting it for free!

Raziel

P.S
That's the pic from the website
KylinRage, you have just made it onto my list

Whoops, sorry. I've always seen Serious Sam: The Second Encounter as the sequel to the first one, with Serious Sam 2 (the even crazier game with big spiders, flying thingies, etc) as the third game from Croteam.
Does anyone know what those guys are up to? Supposedly Serious Sam 3 (fourth game) is in the works but I saw a couple of screenies floating around supposedly from Croteam that show that they are working on something resembling a Battlefield 2/Call of Duty 4 type of game. It's crazy to work on two at the same time...

the First game system i had was a SNES.
but unreal was the first PC FPS i played. then half life. then followed by quake.
on the super Nintendo, i always loved that super Mario world game. and Donkey Kong 2.
i'm also a fan of the Metal Slug series on the arcade cabinets but there pretty rare nowadays. (Metal slug anthology on the PSP )
i never got a Nintendo 64 but i got a PS1 and played Gran Turismo a lot, and some other shooter games, Platformer games,Crash,spyro,disruptor, ,and some others.

Quake 2 was my very first FPS purchase, before that I had played the Quake & Doom demos.

This CAN'T be good.

In no particular order:

Half-Life 1 (All three were great)
Unreal 1 & expansion.
GTA 2
Dungeon Siege & Expansion
Doom 1, & 2.
Starcraft
AOE 1,2, both good..
Black & White(Could have done with armies though.. But those poor burning children, how cute.. also it's not that old..)
Buldars Gate 1 or 2 (although i found the game's insane difficulty & extremely hard few enemies very offputting..)
Blood.
Wolf 3D.
Diablo II
Quake 1, 2 & 3.

There are many more, and iv'e probably forgotten some favourites, but a long list that would be..
