system shock had great potential, but it was super boring.

Hmm. It was decent.

But System Shock 2 is one of my all-time favorite games. The graphics weren't even good for its time, but the game is very solid.

I actually liked Civ. 2 more than the first.

Was it released before '95?
I suppose that I could check that out myself. Heh.

tie fighter was newer than '95 IIRC.

Here is where to find old games and new, most are freeware or abandonware.

Also you need to get dosbox. This is the greatest program. It emulates old dos and a 386. You can speed it up, slow it down and do pretty much anything you need to get old games to work. It is freeware.

No, Civ 2 was definitely after 95. Actually, I suspect a few of the games here were after 95.

I still love Star Control 2. I'd play it today if I had it. Some of the best dialogue writing in a game ever, especially for something from over 10 years ago.

It will run any old game you need as long as you tweak it right.
