My fave old dos based game.

Old horror style game:

Realms Of The Haunting or ROTH.

 

Realms of the Haunting is a British adventure game, played from the first-person perspective, released in 1997 by Gremlin. The 3D engine used in this game was borrowed from Gremlin's own Normality engine.

 

The Horror: Realms Of The Haunting @ www.realmsofthehaunting.com

 

 

 

Game looks dated now,but still has atmosphere,which i find is lacking in a lot of more recent games.

Anyone else have a fave old game they still play from years gone by ?.

I have 2 Super Mario World and donkey Kong country, both on super Nintendo

If you like horror games with armosphere, try Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

 

Or indeed, if you're looking for old games in general, Good old Games (GOG.com) is a good place to look!

 

Personal favourites would be Baldur's Gate, Wing Commander, Jet Strike, Sensible Soccer, in fact, almost any game on the Amiga CD32.

Must admit I still play Doom and Quake (1). But GOG has loads and every time I go on that site It costs me! lol

What a superb game that was. I spent many an hour playing it online. Other favourites include the original Rainbow Six game, Mechwarrior 2 and the original Homeworld, but to be honest there are too many fond memories of games to mention.

Paperboy is surely up there with the best of them. I used to have it on my Atari. Either that, or golden axe on the mega drive. As far as the nintendo goes there can be only one (and with a gun too) Duck Hunt!

 

Anyone agree or am I alone?

got a few old games on wii/360 as downlaods so mario kart (snes version still the best), pilotwings, still drag the dreamcast out now and again for crazy taxi/crazy taxi 2/msr swos on 360 arcade i have been known to run uae from time to time to play old amiga games (still have an amiga but no compatible screen anymore my scart lead is duff)

 

Red Alert 1...stepdad and myself play regularly against each other....tank rush FTW!

 

i always prefered the 1st command and conquer game esp the dos version where you could starve the enemy out by surrounding their base enterances with sandbag walls lol

[localzuk]

A few different games here. Shadow Warrior for shoot-em-up stuff. Escape Velocity for space-empire stuff. And Harry the Handsome executive for the 'you're a man in a swivel chair who uses a staple gun and cans of soda to kill things and and fight the evil company' stuff.

 

The latter 2 are Mac OS 9 only. One day I'll buy myself an old mac to run them on.

"Little Big Adventure" it was pitched at just the right level for my cack-handedness!

[firefox_2006]

MarioKart on the SNES? Goldeneye?

[north-ict]

You got to love the old school classic point and click adventure games, simon the sorcerer series, leisure suit larry series the monkey islands. Any one remember commander keen? lol ahh memories now I feel like an old fart..... i am missing my commodore 64 and terminator 2 judgment day and that lovely blue stratup screen....

Age of empires 2 is always good for LAN, Warcraft 3 custom games (not so 'old', but still good!), Baldurs gate 1 + 2 are very addictive too!

[Butters]

Broken Sword 1/2

 

The best thing is they are now on the iPhone and were instant buys for me.

[north-ict]

Broken sword was amazing loved that game to bits!

Transport Tycoon Deluxe and Counter Strike (12 years old?!)

Bioshock and Deadspace both drip atmosphere and are worth a look. As for old favorites, Star Trek Armarda can always waste a few hours of my time, works under Vista and I think 7 as well.
