all sound good , but im not into any games after 1995 i prefer games much much older.

Posted: Apr 17 2009 12:35 am

I have yet to see anyone mention a single Sim game. Tsk, tsk. Well, I highly recommend Sims 2. If you're looking strictly into 1995 and older, one of the older Simcity games would be good.

Sim Ant! Just kidding. Diablo 2 can be super-addictive, though. I love that game.

You'll need DOSBoX to play alot of the older titles. Some won't work without it, and others will run too fast without it.

Knyte I agree with every single game you put on the Pre-1995 list ESPECIALLY the ones that follow:

Betrayal at Krondor
Chuck Yeagers Air Combat
Wing Commander III
TIE Fighter
Quest for Glory

But what, no "Corncob 3-D"??

I've actually heard that Sim Ant is pretty interesting.

I could never get into Diablo; I played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on the PS2 before I played Diablo, and when I played Diablo, it seemed like a poor man's BG:DA.

Oh, and Knyte, good call on Ultima IV. I can't believe I forgot that. Shame on me.

I mostly prefer the point and click titles for the PC

10. Wolfenstein 3D
9. Mean Streets
8. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
7. Doom
6. Myst
5. The Sims
4. Maniac Mansion
3. Sam and Max Hit the Road
2. The Adventures of Monkey Island
1. Grim Fandango

Posted: Apr 20 2009 11:15 am

In no particular order

DOOM 2
King's Quest VI
Fallout 2
SimCity 2000
Civilization
The Secret of Monkey Island
Diablo 2
Warcraft 2
Heroes of Might and Magic 3
Thief 3

Fun Fact: If there's not a single game on your list published before 2000, YOU'RE DOING IT ALL WRONG!

No mention of the Commander Keen games at all. For shame.

When you keep spending all that money on your account you could just have just bought a can of paint thinner and some crack. You're still wasting money, but at least you kill yourself in the process...
