Which old games are still fun to play now?

[arc@css]

Unreal is a great old title.

Plenty of mods around for it, too.

 

[bluesouljah]

Still play Xcom at least once a year.

 

[Gunni Parker]

I'm currently going through Hidden and Dangerous 2 for the 3rd time. I just simply love it. My fave game of all time, despite all it's flaws.

 

[vectisitch]

I quite liked project igi

 

[potatolord]

Civ 4. It's the best Civ.

 

[pestt]

Star Citizen.

 

[tuftyfella]

Mechcommander is fun for nostalgia sake.

 

[JHONO]

C & C Red alert

 

[Kelt]

I quite liked project igi

Blast from the past, really enjoyed it back in the day.

 

[eurokage]

Unreal. The game. Not the engine. Stupid, shader-loading engine.

Some random b*llocks I talked on the Eurogamer discord somehow sparked a major investigation into an early '90s urban myth about F-19 Stealth Fighter (and an entertaining article). Now I'm looking for ways to play its sequel, F-117, on a modern PC. I miss mid-market flight sims like that... not full sims, but not arcade games.

if its this:

F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0

Slice through the dark and own the night in your Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk, the first oper

It will just work on a modern PC if purchased from GoG

I was so sure it was going to be a nightmare that I didn't even think to look at GoG. Thanks!

GoG do absolute wonders for these old games

 

[Combat squirrel]

Supreme Commander
Xcom titles
KSP 1
Divinity Sin 2

 

[Yulaw]

Distant worlds universe
Fragile Allegiance
Pax imperia eminent domain

[spudbynight]

I quite liked project igi

Yeah, I loved both that and the sequel.

 

[Tek81]

The original Deus Ex is a good one to go back to, especially with all the QOL mods now available.

 

[Freddie1980]

Wing Commander 3 and 4
Thier 2: The Metal Age (played through this recently)
Caesar 3
Age of Empires 2 (almost prefect gameplay, never feels old and still gets updates and new content)
GTA:Vice City
Knights Of The Old Republic
The Secret Of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2 (the humour in these games is second to none)

Comanche vs Hokum. Perfect example of that, self contained dynamic campaign and so accessible. These days you're looking primarily at DCS to get you're helicopter fix, which is in a totally different league.

Old games keep popping up in VR. Recently Halo and Crysis have shown up, a complete new lease of life with them being so playable in VR. A favourite of mine Freespace 2 feels like a new game playing it in VR.
