DN3D!, I used to waste away the hours playing and building levels..probably still would if the sound worked in XP...hehe (probably not actually)

 

[ElFenix]

xcom. or maybe high seas trader. which did come on cdrom so it can't be older than... 93. it ran a bit fast on a 486 100. fine on my pentium pro though. 16 bit instructions.

 

[CedarTeeth135]

Comander King! Ya!

That series was the first computer game that I actually played, around the age of 5 or so.

I got pretty good with that pogo stick.

I love Quakeworld Teamfortress. I was so good at it too... Too bad no one plays it anymore or I still would.

[Soulkeeper]

Road Rash, UT, Thief the dark project
heh Road Rash mmmm kicking cops off their bikes at 120+ mph and hitting people with chains while dodging cars...... that game was soo damn addicting
good memories
can't beat UT as an all around fun game
Thief was one of the first games i got hooked on i loved outsmarting the knights and trying to kill them in weird and unusual ways. I still remember killing all the people on this one level then throwing their dead bodies, as well as all moveable objects in the level, in the swimming pool. hehe "The builders will guide me to thee" "I crumble"
haha

 

[SerialChiller]

my OLD fav pc game:

civilization I
Doom
Indiana Jones and the last crusade
Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis
wing commander I
wolf3d
X - Com

 

[PliotronX]

It's tied between Syndicate, Quarantine, Doom, Wolfy 3D, Mechwarrior II, and Cannon Fodder. All of those games were way ahead of their time IMO. Before them, it was Ace and Thexder. Those games are forever burned into my head in that green glow of an old Televideo system.

 

[BujinZero]

Definitely TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM. Oddly enough, the last PC Gamer magazine I looked at (this was like five years ago) had this game rated #1 of the top 100 games of all time. I'm sure that's changed by now, though . Other oldies I love are Syndicate, Civilization (I think I've logged more hours on this game than any other ever), Falcon 3.0, Doom, Dark Forces, Command and Conquer: Red Alert, Starcraft, and Sim City 2000.

 

[Slogun]

CS for me as well.

Looking forward to 1.6 and/or condition zero. I hear multiplayer gameplay with those two will be identical.

 

[clicknext]

For old school dos games, it's definately Raptor: Call of the Shadows.
For more recent, probably homeworld. I'd say CS, but I quit CS and refuse to have anything to do with it.

 

[Soulkeeper]

don't forget Age of empires
that game was fun as hell online against people you know

 

[smp]

Stunt car . I think that's what it was called.
Maybe stunts or something.
You could build your own tracks and race all these crazy cars .. good old dos days.
Test drive
And .. quake III .. newschool

 

[VezZiE]

Sid Meier's CIVILIZATION.. hell yeah!

 

[Viper96720]

Police Quest, leisure suit larry, king's quest etc... Played them on a tandy I liked the old sierra games.

 

[Bovinicus]

I forgot to mention some other classics I love. Civilization I was the most addicting game ever. Master of Orion was a close second. Also, various MUDs (Multi User Dimensions) which are online text based RPGs are also extremely addicting. They are also the reason I can type fast today.

 

[PeteyCPU]

Monkey Island...most hilarious game ever!

Along the same lines there was also Gorilla

but I think my all-time favourite games on my old 486 had to be Syndicate.

CoopersTeam Hehehe

 

[VBboy]

Doom II

I still play it, on my lately-unstable P4 2.5 GHz with Radeon 9700 Pro
