Strategy games. Gather resources, build buildings/units and go to war Think that about sums it up. Good multi-player. I think CS is more fun but you definitely need a fast computer/connection for that.

PS: starcraft is the [censored].

Re: What are some old but good PC games?
 

It's really old... but such a classic.

Masters of Magic

Re: What are some old but good PC games?
 

Done this one many times, but one more won't hurt.

Best PC Games

Ultimas IV-VII.V
X-Com
Civilization III (IV coming out in a matter of weeks!)
Planescape:Torment
Fallouts I & II
Star Control II
Monkey Island
Wing Commander: Privateer


That's a pretty good list. If I forgot anything come down on me with the full force of the law, so long as it's not a real-time strategy base-builder or a first-person shooter, in which case take a hike, son, take a hike.

Pretty much, yeah. The original Doom probably gets my runner up vote here, though I could be talked into giving the honors to Masters of Magic.

In 1986 Summer Games was my abiding four-year-old passion, even though the only events I could do well in were the 100-yard dash and platform diving. Memories:

The little pixelated doves flying off at the torch ceremony...
The incredibly loud 2-bit PC Speaker Olympic Theme...
The interminable boot times...
The way the pole vault event crashed every single time...
Ah.

Did anyone play Wizardry in the 80's? I loved that game.

The original Unreal Tournament is a great FPS. Still a ton of people playing it online too.

go get starcraft now!
also sim city 2000

Re: What are some old but good PC games?
 

starcraft is shitty, do not play it if you are new to it. you will have one look and will say "wtf why do ppl like this POS game?"

wouldn't say it's collecting dust like previous games mentioned, but Prince of Persia is a good one. The Command and Conquer series is good if you like real-time strategy games.

Here is the title to end the thread, I have this title sitting in my cd spool: The Oregon Trail, thread over
