Anyone still playing old games?

midmaxed · Mar 12, 2012

Even though there's a lot of new games today, which look better, there's still something about old games (Diablo II, Star Wars Empire at War, Galactic Battlegrounds,etc.) that makes me want to play them. No, not because I have played them before and I have memories of them, (I have only played some,) there's that charm within those games...

Anyone here who's like me?

Games I play:

Stronghold Crusader (playing this atm)
Commandos
Commandos II
Captain Claw
Heroes I
Heroes II
Heroes III
Heroes IV
Red Alert II / Yuri's Revenge
C&C Generals / Zero Hour
Robin Hood (forgot the exact title, plays like Commandos)
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds/Clone Campaigns

wow - those are old games! i still occasionally play company of heroes and medieval 2 against a friend who has an old PC.

they were both released waaaaaaaaaay back in 2006, which is a couple of generations ago in the gaming world...

Sometimes I like to indulge in a little gaming nostalgia but it never really lasts too long. and hour or so just for the feeling. But there are way too many new things as it is, just no time to spend on the past

im fond of kerplunk, and mousetrap. though i prefer cludo.

i also really enjoy kid chameleon on the mega drive emulator.
in the early 90's i could complete it in 12 hours and the gaming mags at the time said pros took 18 hours ,
sadly i dont have the time these days to get that kind of hook back.

I still play sometimes the old SSI games, AD&D series, so that is showing my age.

BugMeister · Mar 12, 2012

Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege/Legends Of Aranna have been on my PC since release in 2000/2002..
Microsoft Game Studios - Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna

also the two brilliant Dungeon Siege mods, MageWorld and Lands Of Hyperborea..
Jim Farris, Author and Composer - Home

- can't praise them highly enough..

Still got both my Crusader: No Remorse and Crusader: No Regret discs, although the last time I managed to get them to install and play was in the mid-2000s.

Was watching a friend play the recent Deus Ex game and thought to myself, hey, this is what an updated Crusader game should look like. Albeit with more combat though, Deus Ex seems to be more of a sneaking around thing.

I still play Doom 2 once in a while. I can play it pretty easily on the 3rd hardest difficulty. Can't remember the title of it right now, oh well. I haven't played Wolfenstein 3D in quite a while now.

leagueonmymind · Mar 14, 2012

I still play Red Alert sometimes, I don't know if you count CS and Starcraft as old games. ?

Richardc269 · Mar 14, 2012

Those are pretty old these days. They're 10+ years old.

Tank997 · Mar 14, 2012

me and my friend played Lords of the Realm 2 over direct ip last night, it was fun but the game is too laggy for some reason to play it regularly over ip

sjc1138 · Mar 14, 2012

I have a lot of Dosbox games, such as Doom and the original Elder Scrolls. I play a lot of old PC games, Age of Empires is still a classic. Many old games have much better gameplay than newer ones- because today everyone is too mesmerized by stunning graphics to care about the gameplay quality.

mickey megabyte · Mar 14, 2012

hmm, when the old games were released, they had stunning graphics for the time!

you mentioned Age of Empires - i still remember a friend watching me play it (nearly 15 years ago) and he was gobsmacked by the quality of the graphics (especially the dead elephants for some reason) and all the animation.

Doom too was revolutionary at the time for its use of (pseudo) 3D.

Richardc269 · Mar 15, 2012

Doom 2 was pretty revolutionary, actually. Along with Wolf 3D before that, and Duke Nukem 3D in it's time.

StarCraft even managed to get GOTY for the best balanced game of it's era.

HomeWorld 1 & 2 weren't quite as popular, but those were super kick ass, too. HomeWorld 2 even had a really kickass StarWars mod. Even though I suck with RTS games, I'll still play them.

Diablo 1 & 2 were pretty revolutionary, along with Dungeon Siege & LoA (I didn't really like DS2 and DS3 was an utter failure, imo).

BugMeister · Mar 16, 2012

the mod/add-on Legends Of Utrae really does the Dungeon Siege/LoA game full credit..
it opens the whole Utraean Peninsula - and makes a great (very long!) adventure game
SiegeNetwork.com

- it contains a heck of lot of improvements, and was made by some very clever and dedicated modders..

- I thoroughly recommend it..!!

Richardc269 · Mar 16, 2012

I think I tried it only once, and probably didn't like it. Not really sure why. I don't play Dungeon Siege all that much anymore.
