Descent 2. Also, if I haven't played them in a while I will gladly pick up any of the old LucasArts adventures, dust them off, and jam em in for some brain-teasing goofy fun.
Oh yeah. Another LucasArts game is Afterlife, great balanced micro and macro management, stellar voice acting (You guys will recognize Richard Barnes's voice, even if you don't know him by name), a worldly and pleasing soundtrack, and a great sense of humor about itself. It is the only sim game where half of the game is intended to do the exact opposite of other city sims: make the roads long and meandering, crowd buildings next to more hideous buildings and overall make hell the most unpleasantly hideous monstrosity that SimCity fans will just cringe at.
And, with that, SimCity 2000. Classic.

I've been gaming primarily on my X360, since the only computer I have right now that's functioning is my laptop, but I'll be building a new computer for Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2.Brokkr said:
That said, I still play a fair amount of older games on my laptop, Starcraft, Diablo, Red Alert, Baldur's Gate, Heroes of Might and Magic, probably gonna start up some Deus Ex sometime soon.
I play far too many DOS games, especially now that I'm on a Mac and all. A quick run-through of my games list includes Alien Breed, Duke Nukem 3D, Fallout, Raptor - Call of the Shadows, Jagged Alliance, SimCity 2000, Syndicate, and the two original X-COM games (UFO Defense and Terror From the Deep). Beyond that, i have Diablo II, StarCraft, and NetHack.
NetHack: the most awesome game you can play over telnet.

Yea I'll take that challenge. You're so going down! I never even have to use the hints.runtheplacered said:
Spacewar! was the first mass-produced video game available for sale. It's the only game I play, everything else just wants to be it.
The Mechwarrior, Mechcommander series(es); AoE1-2, System Shock 1&2, Deus Ex, Quake, Serious Sam FE&SE, TES1-3, Half Life 1. Grim Fandango. I admit, many of these are not so old, but I had to build another system to run some of the older MW games, they just did NOT like my graphics card.
I still occasionally pop in the old Doom games and always have a good time playing them, that shotgun still hasn't been beaten in terms of how meaty it sounds. I've been playing a bit of the original Red Alert as well, that game was pretty hardcore compared to its sequels (there are torture scenes and killings on camera, lots of blood too).
Recently I've been playing Need for Speed: High Stakes and Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. Man these games kick the crap out of any of the recent NFS games, somehow they are even more detailed (like checking out the Porsche in detail in the garage and even personalizing licence plates).
I love older games.
