I miss that time... NOT!
Having 4MB RAM and having to juggle config file settings so you could free enough memory in the first 640K, some thought it was part of the fun, to me it definitely wasn't.
But speaking of the games themselves, I'd have to go with Wing Commander series and Strike Commander.
how was that game? anything like civilization with magic?
Don't forget all of Sierra's adventure games; King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry...
And if you can snag an old Roland MT-32 sound module (like I've always had!) you can enjoy these games the way they were SUPPOSED to sound!
are you able to download those games off abondonware yet? or can you get them working on a windows 7 pc
Warcraft II. Got my parents to go out and buy more ram because it kept crashing when I only had the bare minimum to play (8mb). I think the 4 more they bought cost like 125$. Also, dat orchestrated soundtrack
Probably. I know the X-Wing Collector's Series works. That was the updated version released in 1998 that uses the same graphics engine as XvT. The original versions probably work via DOSBox. Sadly LucasArts hasn't released them through official channels but just Google if you want to find them. May be some disc copies still floating around too.

what lucas arts games work on windows 7? have both kotar games and also the fan favorites. so battlefront 2 and jedi academy and republic commando. i remember having to get jedi acdemy and kotor working. also empire at war. had to get that one working as well. this was on vista
Now that's one worth tracking down!! Awesome to the extreme!
I've been having a terrible time getting X-Wing Alliance (the most modern in that series?) but modern machines just hate the graphics engine.
Time to fire up my classic gamer machine with Voodoo3, but bring it down to 98SE instead of Windows XP.
Another game definitely worth anyone's time is the classic DOS Master of Orion which I still find every bit as good as its awesome successor, MOO2.

as if dos was old folks stuff.
C64 was the bomb. still unbeaten. Ghostbusters, Paradroid, Elite, Zork, Wasteland, the whole AD&D "gold box" series, etc ..
