Some I am interested in are Total Annihilation and Dark Reign.

I used to have Total Annihilation, but the CD was loaned out to friend and he lost it.

I remember seeing Dark Reign in the late 1990s and have always wanted to have it.

I would love to see the Ultima games go on sale. I don't remember if they have them, but would like to see the Kings Quest series as well as Space Quest, or even Wing Commander series.

 

[ImpulsE69]

There are TONS of games on sale (even today). Some of the ultima and Kings quests are on sale. Just easier to go there and search for a game you are interested in.

I got the dungeons and dragons pack a while back. I am not a big graphics aficionado, but I find it hard to play those old games like BD and ID. They seem really difficult too, combat wise. I was really excited to get them, but so far have just started a couple and quit.

We had no hand holding back then. We were taught by being beaten down and playing smart, something sorely lacking in games today where everyone is a winner.

Not aimed so much at all you, just a funny observation on how games have changed as they have become more popular.

Best suggestion I can make is, there are probably youtube videos that can give you a quick how to on stuff and make your life easier.

Its a Gen Y thing, they have diffent views on competition & failure. Raised during different times.

Oh...the days of memorizing Tyson's punch pattern. You know, I beat that game in 2 days (borrowed from some friends..you know..back when borrowing wasn't considered stealing money from devs?). They did not believe I had beat it as they'd had it for months. So I did it again in front of them.

 

[Bateluer]

The prices for TW1 and TW2 seem a bit high, I could swear I bought both for my brother for less. :/

Was thinking of picking up NWN2 Complete for 10 though. Possibly some of the Ultima titles.

 

[zinfamous]

Hmm, I wonder how this is? ULTIMA WORLDS OF ADVENTURE 2: MARTIAN DREAMS. It sounds interesting but without nostalgia glasses the graphics are eye-searingly bad

 

[acheron]

I bought HOMM2 and 3 and also RCT; all of which I have discs for somewhere.
