RealMyst (I never played it, but I played the original a lot on my old Macintosh)

(Disclaimer:Yes, I did whore myself out for Cyan back then)

Where are we drawing the line for "old?" Probably the oldest PC-realted gaming memories I have are watching my dad play Unreal and Quake, as well as playing Quake III: Team Arena's Urban Terror mod on my dad's account.

[DominionSeraph]

F-19 Stealth Fighter

Spent soooo many hours with this game. It was annoying that half the weapons didn't work, though. I never found a way to destroy those sub pens, and it haunts me to this day.

 

[Jumpem]

Fallout 1 & 2.
The MechWarrior/Battletech RPGs.

 

[Sable]

Played through Doom and Doom 2 recently. Still so much fun.

Might fire up Tie Fighter at some point, amazing game.

 

[Revolution 11]

Tie Fighter
Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Dark Forces
The Dig

Age of Empires 1
The Neverhood
Microsoft Flight Simulator 95 (crashing planes was never so fun)

Tomb Raider
Heavy Gear
Duke Nukem 3D
Red Alert 1

These are the ones I can remember before 1999/2000.

You had to use the FAE bomb, IIRC.

[jammix]

Half life 1 & Doom 2 & Duke3d huh does were the days..

 

[DominionSeraph]

You had to use the FAE bomb, IIRC.

Didn't work for me. It would hit the ground and then just fly along it forever. Couldn't get HARMs to destroy radar sites, either. Rockeyes and Mk 82's would destroy nothing. And it was either the Penguin or the Harpoon that didn't work for anti-ship.

It was just Maverick, Durandel, and AMRAAM/Sidewinders for me.

 

[Berliner]

Starcraft.

Total Annihilation.

 

[LtMikePowelll]

For me Commandos 1 and 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (with all the expansion packs), and Medal of Honor Allied Assault (this game gave me my username).

Unfortunately, my favorite older game isn't really available to buy anymore: Homeworld. It's amazing, epic, hauntingly beautiful, and still a gorgeous game despite the low resolution textures and low poly count models.

 

[crazzy.heartz]

 

[LinkTECH]

all of the grand theft autos and the old marios and zeldas

 

[Remobz]

Loved castle wolfenstein, dune 2 and red baron

 

[rivethead]

Pool of Radiance

I always loved full throttle.

Fallout dude. Just, the king. Nothing else.

The end.
