    I'm curious to know what old games do people keep on their hard disks? Games that you haven't deleted since or keep after every re-install....

    Here what's I have... (excluding the modern stuff)

    1. Doom (using the Doomsday facelift)
    2. Battle Isle 3 (10 year gaming session with a friend - wargaming hex chess)
    3. Daedalus (weird maze program - The world's most sophisticated Maze program) ... do a google.
    4. ADOMSage / Angband
    5. Alpha Centauri (starting to head into classic lore)
    6. First Encounters (using the ffewin28 patch)
    7. Exult (Ultima 7 reborn!)
    8. System Shock II (Using new textures)
    9. ZZT
    10. WinFrotz (to play any zcode text adventure)

    Thanks to my tiny 40Gb hard drive not much. Loads of roms for various consoles. Doom is still on the hard drive. Also I have the all the monkey island games, Sam and Max, day of the tentacle and System shock on CDs but couldn't play them because of XP. Should be able to play them soon. Lidl are selling cheap hard drives on thursday so can do a partition and the dos emulator, dosbox, works well with most games I've tested.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    Got GTA 1 on there.

    Also - Lemmings and Wolfenstein 3D.

    Ah god be with the days.

    Incidentally there's still an old Apple II in my house at home with Wizardry disks (back when floppys were really floppy) - anyone else remember that game?

    Still have IK+ for my amiga emulator that I play every now and then. The greatest beat'em-up of all time? Quite possibly.
