I have to leave that one in the past. Used to play it all the time when I was a kid but it hasn't aged well at all.

Compared favourably to other games of its time though, such as Hexen and Quake.

The city builder game Pharaohs with Cleopatra expansion (wish they would make a new isometric city builder game, the 3D versions are naff)

Brilliant game! Best of that style (remember ceaser?) I hope they dont try any more after kingdom of the nile....

Just been having a bash on A1200 slamtilt, luckily i still got the original game, machine and a spare room to chuck them in, the pc version was pappy in comparison.

galactic Civilization 2.

Too easy once you drop the bad act and go diplomatic then you can just out research everyone else hundreds of fold. then just build warships without getting attacked.

Great game.Im still playing it.I never get bored especially on immense.Just wish the dread lords event was better

A similar game i liked was imperium galactica 2.Just wish i still had the cd for it

Dawn of war.

Just playing the original Max Payne again, picked it up cheap in the steam sales

Doom (1993) or Loom (1990)

to the people who replied with ufo: enemy unknown, is this on the PC, if so will it work on Vista 64bit or Win 7 64bit??

I got this from Steam for 74p and it works fine on Vista (I guess that's because they bundled a DOS loader with it).

I've been playing loads of:
UFO: Enemy Unknown
Rollercoaster Tycoon 2
OpenTTD

Will soon be playing X-Com Terror From The Deep as well.

The graphics may be poor but the atmosphere and entertainment is awesome. Modern games don't get a look in!!!

Deus Ex: GOTY Edition.

Back to skool - on a speecy emulator, sheer class

Independence War + Defiance. You even get a female chief engineer to break the mold a bit.

Played and finished Robocop - arcade version last night. It only takes 30-40 minutes. The last 'proper' game I finished was Half-Life 1 about a month ago. I decided to re-play all of the half lifes. HL1, HL2,HL episode 1 and I'm currently an hour into ep2
