Oldest game still on your HD

Post by Faram »

Well just list your one or two oldest games on your HD that you still play.

And a reamake of pong or somthing do not count.

My oldest and still played games are.

Fallout 2 Released in 97 and

Planescape Torment

I think that RP games ages much better with time than any other game type.

Errrm...

Steel Panthers is pretty dang old.

Civ 1.

X-Com.

And for the sake of those who loved the mid-late 90s, I just found a copy of Spycraft: The Great Game and have been replaying that. Now, if anyone can tell me where the FUCK I can find a copy of The Last Express, I will be forever in their debt...

Heroes of Might and Magic II.

Due to a recent hard drive crash, that's about it for the oldies. I've yet to reinstall the old Doom games, the Quake games and Master of Orion.

Technicaly oldest is Starfleet Command. When you consider original content, the Privateer Remake is actualy the oldest.

The oldest game on my HD is Mean Streets (1989), but the oldest one I've played recently is Crusader: No Remorse (1995).

I just beat the first two Monkey Island games and Beneath a Steel Sky, though I doubt I'll be playing them again since most adventure games have limited replay value.

I have Warcraft 1 installed on my hard drive, but I rarely play it (man, I remember when I thought its graphics were awesome...).

Installed in my HD: Mortal Kombat, Syndicate and Syndicate Wars, Call to Power, Warcraft I, Heretic, Hexen, Settlers II, Road Rash, Heroes of Might and Magic III, and Lula The Sexy Empire (but I can't play it). But I rarely touch them, with the exception of perhaps Road Rash. I still very much enjoy cruising around hitting anyone that tries to pass me :D

Spaceward Ho! from 1995 (though copyrights date back to '91).

I may still have Duke Nukem 3D on my computer, but I definitely had Duke Nukum and Duke Nukem II and played them on my 750Mhz Dell as late as '01.

Steel Panthers MBT + WW2 if the fact their base code is from 1996 is considered
Imperialism, otherwise (1997)
