older games you wish were still popular

Jedi Knight 2.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (promod mainly)

Red Alert 2 for me. Used to love it.
Play Company of Heroes a bit now and then but I prefer Red Alert, especially the second one.

The Independence War space sims. Partly because I love them, and partly because if they were still popular I'd be able to work on them again.

You mean Jedi Outcast? Or Dark Forces 2?

If it's either of them, try playing Jedi Academy.

Before broardband had taken I was lucky to have a good LAN place to visit, used have such good fun with doing Rainbow 6 campaigns, UT, AvP and Carmageddon. Then along came BB used to stop all hours with the frustrations of gamespy and Star fleet command, spending ages setting waiting for Operation flashpoint games to start and then crash. At least MOH, UT, tacops, bf1942 and rtcw was stable fun.

Im being dead serious. Me and my brother were addicted to pokemon like it was crack. That and classic mario brothers for GBA. I used to play that so much when it was quiet i could hear the theme tune in my head. I heard it so vividly i would actually shout upstairs to my sister becuase i thought she was playing on it..when really it was me showing the first signs of mario madness..

TFC and DAoC, the two games that captured/stole most of my online time.

I still have a dabble at both every now and again!

Destroyer^ · 14 Feb 2011 at 22:57

o really.. whats DAOC like now?

DampCat · 15 Feb 2011 at 05:25

Oh and Dungeon Keeper, perhaps there may have been more, better, sequels.

chris.dante · 15 Feb 2011 at 05:32

A proper Wing Commander game, played them all during my youth. Good Times
Anybody remember Hardwar

discobiscuits · 15 Feb 2011 at 10:11

Age of empires 2 on dial up, shame when the games went over 2 hours and disconnected.

MoH AA, spentmany hours playing this online.

Redneck Rampage

UO and Daoc, simply put, imo the greatest two MMOs ever to grace a hard drive. Embodied everything that makes the MMO genre so great and were both light years ahead of the competition and really highlight how shallow "modern" MMOs are.

I know I've already posted in this thread, but UO and Daoc were so good that they warranted another mention

I tried Excal when everyone was given a free week (I think this was during the merge with US), it was dead.
I've tried free shards a few times, quick and easy fun however it doesn't quite have the same feel.

Yeah, the Ywain cluster on US is where the population is now. Not a patch on the populations of old but usually quite active on there in the evenings.

Though some would say that its a direct result of WoW becoming so popular that it got that bad reputation in the first place. Most people I see complaining about WoW are complaining about the people who play it rather than the game itself.

Same for counterstrike pretty much.
