Any old fun games you own?

[mechanic]

Super Mario on the gameboy original was awesome fun. the game was to see how many times you could complete it in a row, each time getting harder. I nearly made it through 3 times once, before the batteries died.

Ends the need to "mount" a directory

Semi-old

WINGS OVER VIETNAM
X-WING vs. TIE FIGHTER

Still like to take a "THUD" screaming over Hanoi dodging SAM's and MIG's to hit a target then "Bugging" out NOE back to base. Stress Reliver.   

 

[Darkish]

I-War
The Privateer series
Theme Park
Dungeon Keeper I&II
Carmageddon
Tachyon
Syndicate Wars
Command & Conquer
Sid Meiers Alpha Centurii

All fun to this day.

Old Games that still play well today:

Empire
Harpoon Classic (had the original on the 286 which barely ran on such a "weak" machine)


Duke Nukem and even DOOM1&2 are still good for a round or two if you ignore the graphics. Both still have their special atmosphere

Somewhat old games

Fallout 1&2
Deus Ex
Battlezone (the best raw FPS/RTS combo ever made, brilliant but too involved for the console crowd)
Unreal Tournament (easy to network on a home lan for H2H with a range of machine specs)
Half Life

Fallout 2, what a great rpg.  have you played anything remotely as fun as far as rpgs go in a while?  I loved the pipboy graphics that went along with the skills and perks.  Bloody mess, that was always a h00t.  Oh and funnily enough my most successful character was a mentats addicted girl who slept her way through a lot of situations.  oh man, good times.

By all means play Fallout 1 if you haven't already. More of the same goodness. Most of my more recent RPGs tend to be FPS style, like Deus Ex. Well worth playing today for the RPG elements asnd story and expansive universe even with the dated graphics (as long as it is the first and not the console-based sequel that sucked) They are making some hybrid RPG with a FPS type perspective but traditional top-down elements under the Fallout brand but it doesn't look all that promising.

The best RPG type experience I've had recently but without the leveling/abilities aspects was the FPS Stalker. You and the wasteland with a fairly open ended universe. Trade and barter, etc.  The upcoming Stalker: Clear Sky prequel might have my buying a new PC just to play given the DX 10 graphics, even if I have to settle for a dead-end platform LGA775 to get the horsepower and Vista given the timing of things now. Don't know if I can wait a year for the next generation Intel socket/chip to mature and my Opteron 185 and 2GB ddr has reached its limits. Clear Sky is supposed to be an even larger universe and even less linear.

hehe.. I was a special ed teacher and the Atari 400 was our School Computer. I was the only one who knew how to "program" the darn thing, so I took it home for "work" a lot.

Pin the tail on the liberal... Trickier than it sounds as it's almost impossible to tell which end is the rear.
