Oldies but Goldies for PC

[Verythrax]

I'm in a masochist retro mode these days, so I got the complete Myst and Journeyman Project Series - never played those fuckers in those times.

Next in line are the Broken Sword series (played the 1st one) and Beneath a Steel Sky.

Any suggestions from those "OMG! you have a CD-ROM in your PC!" times?

Redneck Rampage?

fucking FULL THROTTLE baby!

 

[Verythrax]

Dune series is a friend of mine that I re-visit regularly *looks at the Dune 2000 and Emperor folders asking to be reinstalled*. I'm a Frank Herbert whore.

Hummm.... 7th Guest and Tex Murphy, good call.

Beneath a Steel Sky is a great game, you are going to like it.

Never finished the first broken sword game, I still have it, too much dialog...

must be played: I have no Mouth and I Must Scream

the simon the sorcerer series should not be missed too.

not to mention anything point and click from lucasart, most of it is available on steam with killer prices.

Terminal Velocity.

Also MechWarrior 2 if you have one of the ancient 3D accelerators it supported, or QuakeWorld if you're willing to search for an active Team Fortress server.

Oh, and maybe One Must Fall and Jazz Jackrabbit. Epic used to be an awesome company.

Oh, I just remembered, I must try Marathon with Aleph One.

 

[RAZO]

Chasm: The Rift
Postal
Shadow Warrior

 

[Deuce]

The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour

 

[OMFG]

Freescape and Freescape 2.

Harvester.

Quest for Glory series.

The Martian Chronicles Saga (Mean Streets, etc).

The Killing Cloud.

Nice to see you posting again, Verythrax, I was wondering where you'd gone.

 

[ki_atsushi]

The Bard's Tale series
Dune II
Lords of the Realm II
Warcraft I
Wasteland (the awesome precursor to the Fallout series)

 

[Zenimus]

Lords of the Realm II
Myth II: Soulblighter

Those are the only two I still go back and play from the OMG CD-ROM days. Myth II stays fun because of its map and unit editors. You can make a dwarf that can throw nuclear-strength molotovs if you want.

 

[twalden]

The Bard's Tale series
Dune II
Wasteland (the awesome precursor to the Fallout series)

All great games there. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Ultima 7
Ultima 7 pt 2
Crusader - No Remorse (never played the sequel)
System Shock
Cybermage
Might And Magic 4 and 5 (can install them both and create one giant world)
X-Com
Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2
Magic Carpet 1 and 2

Nice to see you posting again, Verythrax, I was wondering where you'd gone.

It's good to be back

I was offline at home, and the office filters anything that have "games" written on it, so you got the picture.

But I'll be lurking a bit every night

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

Do you guys know if that Cannon Fodder 2 is a Jaguar exclusive, or there's a PC version too? Or maybe I'm just hallucinating?

And guys, save typing about Lucasarts and Dune. I played ALL of them, and I really want to catch up on what I missed that time

Keep them coming!

PS: I'm about to finish Myst Just need to figure the best way to do the possible endings without playing the whole thing again and again...

Another game that comes to mind is Betrayal at Krondor.

BTW.. I just ran into this site http://www.abandonia.com . Lots of old ass games there for download.

 

[Neogeofan12]

Descent

What he said, can't beat 6dof.

 

[Keep Clear]

Daggerfall

 

[cannonball]

Thief
Gothic

If you like Myst, you'll probably like Zork Nemesis as well.

Two other games I enjoyed way back when were Spycraft: The Great Game and Star Trek TNG: A Final Unity.

If you can finish Under a Killing Moon without shooting yourself (I never was a fan of the control scheme), you might enjoy The Pandora Directive.
