Recomendations for Older PC Games


Krosigrim

Recommended Posts

I will be building a new computer. But since I have used such old computers as of late, I have been forced to play older games. Turns out there are tons of old games that are great. One of my favorite games is Master of Orion II. I also play Mech Warrior 4 Mercenaries & Deus Ex. See, Even though I'll be getting a powerful computer, I will not neglect the older titles, they have been good to me.

 

I have picked up Star Trek A Final Unity. But I cannot get it working yet. They say use Dos Box, But I still cannot get it to work. Hell, I cant figure out Dos Box. But thats fine, I'll do more reading I guess, and get it going.

 

My recommendations:

Unreal Tournament

Deus Ex

Master of Orion II

Mech Warrior 4: Mercenaries

Mech Warrior 3

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

Commandos

 

Damn..... I can't find my Deus Ex.......

 

So perhaps you could enlighten me on something I missed. What are your favorite games, or just games you liked in general. Anything you can think of will be great, I'll check them out and see whats up.

Gryph pretty much nailed all the older games I liked (Shogo, Fallout).

 

The only ones I can think of right now is

Age of Empire 1 2 or mythology

Heroes of might and magic 3/4 (Don't remember is the one people liked the best)
