[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] WINTER GAMES SUMMER GAMES CALIFORNIA GAMES CLUBHOUSE SPORTS [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] pole vault didn't crash for me, that was one of my favorite events! i loved the last event, where you shoot the clay discs, what's that called ? i forget.

Re: What are some old but good PC games?
Heroes of Might and Magic II. A turn-based strat game that's pretty much infinitely replayable. Great fun. There are a bunch of HOMM games, including some that aren't turn-based strats, so get the right one. The first one was also fun, but the third one was supposedly unbalanced.
X-COM -- another turn-based strat game that was actually very scary at some points. Always a top candidate for best game ever. Descent and Descent II. First person shooters where you're in a spaceship. You can also switch to third person if you want. Better than regular FPS's where you're a dude running around, to me, because you can move freely in all directions, not just run on a more or less horizontal plane like humans can. Dogfights are much harder, and more fun. It helps to have a really good spatial sense to play it so you don't get disoriented, but you don't need to be practically able to fly a real plane, like you do with many flight sims. This is all action, and it's great fun! You don't need a good computer by today's standards to run them. X-COM is pretty old, and will be butter smooth on anything that came out within the last five years, if not more.

[ QUOTE ] X-Com, UFO Defense. Best computer game ever made. [/ QUOTE ] Hard to think of a more perfect game. [/ QUOTE ] Now I know this has been posted in the past but I figured it was worth a repost for all the people who don't yet know the greatness that is X-Com. There is this website named the-underdogs.org which specializes in keeping classic games alive. From this site you can download the full version of X-Com , playable from XP. Just be warned, once you get going you're going to waste a good three or four days (at least) playing it until the end. Cheers, Swede
