Finally found and reinstalled Might and Magic 7 last night.
I'm now deciding on my first game-winning party.
As good as the default party is (it's not the best, but it covers all the essentials), I think I'm going to risk a deviation.
So far, I'm rolling with:
-Dwarf Monk (strictly for yucks. Also, default cost for Personality is halved compared to Goblin, so he can actually make use of those limited spells he gets later)
-Elf Archer
-Human Druid (I remember really liking this class. Can't remember why though..)
-Elf Sorceress (Probably the best class in the game. So versatile...)
Though if that fails to satisfy, I need a backup group...preferably one that isn't designed to totally cheese the game to death.

King's Quest 1: Quest for the Crown (1984 Version for DOS Computers)
DOSBox is awesome and I play point n click games that were made a decade before my own existence.
Do I win?

Half-Life: Opposing Force. Came out in... 2000? It's a forgotten expansion pack of half-Life made by Gearbox, but it is easily my favorite Half-Life game.
Age of Empires. The first one. I was 5 when it was released and I played it. I think.
Hah... 5... :S Jee.

super mario 3: yoshi's island (on the GBA) is probably the oldest (I actually use a GBA emulator).
hmm... wait...
FALLOUT 2. 1998.

The only sad thing, for me at least, is that it doesn't work on my computer. But the game still holds up very well so, besides not working for me, there's really no need for a sequel. But maybe a remake on the DS (3DS?) or Xbox Live Arcade and PSN?Jovlo said:
On topic:
All them classics on the NES are still very much playable. Not that I play them on a regular basis, but I do bring out that old grey box a couple of times a year to relive all that nostalgia it brings.
Probably the oldest game I hit with any regularity at all is the first Silent Hill. I just like revisiting the atmosphere. The oldest console I have in the house is the ColecoVision, my stepdad having given Pong away when I was still a kid.
I'm too lazy to hook Coleco or the Genesis or any of my wife's old Nintendos up, but we do have a port of the original however-many Sonic games for the PS2, and my son plays the first three quite often.
Very rarely, we put the PS2 port of Pac-Man in. A game I turned over for the first time back in 1982, so get bored with pretty quickly, even though I still love it in secret.
