I was searching amongst the boxes in the loft looking for something completely different and found a box that hadn't been opened for ages.

I've been playing PC games for far too long :D.
 
Some awesome games there, thanks for sharing! To still have your original games and not binned like so many of us... :)

Colin McRae Rally is one of my favourite driving games ever! The Unreal addon pack - I don't remember that one!

I do have the occasional urge to start collecting big box pc games. Then I remember that will lead me to trying to build an old PC too so I stop myself.

Oh I remember the Klingon game, was one of the earliest with multiplayer bots.

From what I can remember Klingon Honour Guard was a pretty good single player, don't think I ever tried the multiplayer.

I don't know why I didn't bin them back in day - I'm not being entirely honest there, couldn't bare throwing them out :D.

Conflict: Freespace, now there was a great game with many mods done to it over time.

There's more games under these, I'm sure there are a few Half Life mission packs too, Blue Shift comes to mind. I might have another dig and share what's under these.

Just do what I do, build old PC’s for fun and then before you know it you’ve got twenty old PC’s half built and no money and no time to play games.
 
loved decent 2 even if it made me sick. "GOWINGNUT" ;0)
i had incoming & MDK2 as well.
i still have a lot of old games as a just in case and nistalga.
one thing i miss is a proper paper manual !! i used spend hours reading those for the story and information.

Once I can afford it and have the room, this is something I'm interested in doing. How much would you say a retro PC can be built for? Not sure I'd want multiple ones mind, so I'd look at getting the best I can that'll still play games and compatible enough for older games too.

Really depends what you are after, very much how long is a bit of string. If you want a a simple XP era machine you can buy a load of pre builds on eBay with mid range P4’s and AGP graphics cards for circa £50+.

If you want something really specific it can get very expensive as some parts go for stupid money (thinking stuff like Voodoo GPU’s etc).
 
Blast from the past :)
Played Klingon Honour Guard on a TNT2 Ultra (I believe). The game never supported it properly and they never patched it. After 30mins of gameplay it'd drop to around 2fps so would need to restart the game every time.
 
These boxes of big box PC games are great for a trip down memory lane! I've got a similar box in the loft, ill dig it out for a pic. I'm sure there is also CM Rally in it too. I seem to remember I also had a copy of Blood that ive seen now fetches silly money. I couldn't find it when I had a look for it last year, I probably sold it in a previous 'clear out' :(

Please do! I'm going to get a pic of the bottom of that box because I'm sure there's a few more nuggets from the past in there.
 
Some absolute gems in there!

Finally got all the GLIDE drivers playing ball properly on my P200 MMX Voodoo2 build last month and been playing some McRae, Unreal and Incoming again :) all superb games

Original destruction derby still stands the time as an absolute blast even to this day! So sad that Psygnosis have been completely killed off by Sony now :(

Also thanks for the reminder I need to pick up Rally Championship still!
