Old Games

As I've just moved, I came across my collection of PC games from way back (I was abroad for a while), and I've been playing on my dedicated games PC. Anyone remember RollCage (and RollCage 2); Hi-Octane; Constructor; Theme Hospital?

Not that old in the grand scheme of things, in that you don't need a dos emulator to play them (I played the original Champ Manager for a little while), but still as much fun today as the first hour after I bought them all those years ago

Theme Hospital's great. Haven't played in a long time though.

Rollcage and Rollcage 2 were both great games. Criminally underrated by lots of people.

Me remembers a time that time forgot; turn up the temp so you'd get more money from the drink machines; Theme Hospital was great alright.

i'd love to be back playing Planescape: Torment for the first time. I reckon its still my favourite of all time.

old games?

my personal favourite is Ultima VII, but for games that runs without the need to run emulators or tweaking the settings - I'd have to say Fallout. I love that game.

Agent Orange

Monkey Island 2 will always have a special place in my heart...




Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis kicked ass too. As did The Dig, Full Throttle, Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango... all of Lucasarts adventures really. You people should really play both immediately if you haven't done so already.

My favourite retro game of all time is Frontier: Elite II.
It was just.. so.. good!

Edit: K240 was pretty fun too.

Aye had a big discussion recently about the amazingness of ye old point 'n clicks

All the lucasarts games and broken sword 1 and 2 got a good mention

Ah, point 'n' clicks. I recently got Grim Fandango (3 for 2 in Game) and was duly very impressed by it. All the stuff that made Lucas Arts games great (Tentacles, anyone?) really came together in this one.

I took 2 sickies just to complete it.

I'm playing the original Rollercoaster Tycoon right now, although it's somewhere spoiled by the fact that i have RT3 installed, just begging to be played.

You said it, Frontier: Elite II is by far my favourite retro PC game. And it's funny how recent titles like Freelancer don't even come close to it. Or even close to the original Elite I use to play on the BBC Micro for that matter. Ah the memories...

My personal faves have got to be theme hospital and the whole RCT series. The are so good that they even stand up to recent releases. And the expansion packs, don't even get me started on the expansion packs...
