Any old fun games you own?
« on: July 04, 2008, 06:30:56 PM »
Anyone here have any old games that you want to discuss about? I've got a few that are just simply great.

Jane's WWII Fighters - www.ww2fighters.org
Hidden and Dangerous - http://hd.3dactionplanet.gamespy.com/
Apache Havoc - unknown (might as well search google)
Talonsoft's 12 O'clock High: Bombing the Reich - unknown

All of these are pretty great games IMO.

How bout you guys, any games you want to discuss?

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

If you're at all interested in shooting, Remington's Top Shot is excellent.  Has worked flawlessly from Windows 98 on through Vista.  Sporting Clays is fun too although more two dimensional.

Lets see what am I looking at here.....

Hidden and Dangerous, H&D Devils Bridge, H&D2 <-- all awesome
Command and Conquer Series (the old ones from 1995)
Starcraft & SC BW
Hellcats by Graphic Sim...boy thats a 1990 oldie for me
Rogue Spear
Freelancer
The original Warcraft (not 2 or 3 or WoW)

I have a ton more but I don't want to collapse the stack of old dusty cases and boxes.

I still play Age of Empires and Homeworld.  Two of my favorite games ever, and they'll run on my pokey laptop.

I have one that you  move around a board based on a dice throw and try to accumulate real estate to bankrupt the other players.

I still play Age of Empires and Microsoft Combat Sim 98, and Bass Pro 2003.  The graphics certainly aren't the best, but they're fun.

1942: the pacific air war.
Aces of the pacific.
and ye ol' faithful wolf 3d.


Come to think of it, i trust 1942 to be one of the only games i can remember from "back then" with actual "planes" in the days where snes and segas rules the world.
