how can people win when they want to post something like this?

a) they post in the old thread and get sarcy "HOLY THREAD REVIVAL BATMAN!" comments

b) they start a new thread and get "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!" comments

what's the right thing to do?

The Operational Art of War - It's an old hex-based wargame from 1997... flies along now compared to running it on a K6-2 450 :-D

100% the former. The people who come out with the "holy thread revival" comments get chastised by me too

In my view there is absoultely nothing wrong with posting in a pre-existing thread, no matter how old it is, provided you have something new to add (in particular, first time posters in that thread, or responding to a question/comment from another poster). I've dug up months old threads in the past which I missed at the time, or remembered and wanted to add a new development to.

Ah, but the previous thread was over a year old.... And as were talking about the oldest games you play the first posts on that thread are no longer pertinent.

Populous 2 (1993) and The Settlers (1993), both on the PC as my Amiga version no longer work.

I was also playing the original Theme Park a few months a go.

Street Fighter II Turbo or Final Fantasy VII

Which has the better sound out of the Amiga and PC version of Populous 2?
