Your Favorite Old School Games

[Johnpk]

My first real computer game and still my favorite was Starcraft. Man, that was back in 1986. I know it's not the era your looking for but I had to chime that game in.

I remember playing the original Gold Box (Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Pools of Darkness, etc.) series for hours upon hours. I think I went through Pool of Radiance about five times with the same set of characters

 

[Atropos13]

No question here... the original System Shock is one of the best games of all time.

if you really want to get old school, then I would say F-14 Tomcat for my Commodore 64. I must have played through that game 20 times.
