Personally, it is the original Operation Flashpoint (2001). Whereas the series continues to evolve into the Arma. I love Arma 2 but struggle with Arma 3 - Whilst 3 is excellent, the future scenario (when compared to 2) just leaves me somewhat cold.

Not to mention 3 runs like a legless chimpanzee in a pool of superglue.

For me it is Fallout 2 and Resident Evil 2/3, all 3 have aged phenomenally and outclass almost anything out today.

Theme hospital.
Dungeon keeper.
OpenTTD.

Play these at least once a year. OpenTTD quite regular on the btpro citybuilder servers.

CoH is probably the oldest game I current have installed - not really that old by some standards set here!
would love to play Deus Ex again though - played through it at least 4 times and as others have said it's probably one of the greatest PC games ever.

Deer hunter series - approx 1999

Always go back to Total Annihilation and have a few games with the girlfriend. It just offers exactly what we look for in an RTS.

If you get bored with your girlfriend can i have her ? One of my first and favorite games used to play it to death..

Freelancer or dungeon siege that run on win10.

DONOHUE07 · 10 Dec 2017 at 01:27

Football Manager 2012, but I have bought DOOM3 to play the VR mod

Atari · 10 Dec 2017 at 01:57

TTD/OpenTTD, and Monkey Island (the originals via ScummVM) - absolutely love them.

I was playing theme hospital with the corsixTH update just yesterday.

Wow I miss bullfrog games. And dungeon keeper!

The oldest game I've got installed is theme park. It's still one of my all time favourite games. I've ot settlers 3 installed which I think is 1998. Dark colony which I think is 1997 or 98. And sensible world of soccer 96/97

Settlers 2 (original 1996 10th anniversary 2006) is the oldest I have installed but have Tie fighter (enhanced edition 1995) and X-wing (enhanced 1996) both on my share drive available at a moment's notice.

The oldest I'd consider would probably be those in which the mechanics and graphics haven't aged abysmally - that'd be Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992), The Secret of Monkey Island (1990 - the original not the remastered one) and Dark Forces 2 Jedi Knight (1997...and whilst the newest I'd say it probably feels old, but the Star Wars links save it).

Loosecannon · 10 Dec 2017 at 13:05

Dungeon Master (but a clone as the original isn't available).

Other than that it is probably battle isle 3!

JRS · 10 Dec 2017 at 13:15

Oldest two that I have installed right now are Grand Prix Legends (1998, released around the same time as the original Half-Life and has aged rather better) and Starfleet Command II: Orion Pirates (2001, runs like crap on Win10 but perfectly okay on Linux + WINE).

Phil2008 · 10 Dec 2017 at 14:00

Its great that you can get win7 to win10 to still run these old games,, I think the oldest game I have installed is warcraft 1(1994).. I also have Atomic Bomberman, as its great fun for 2 or more players.

unKle · 10 Dec 2017 at 14:16

Half Life is the oldest pc game I have installed. I regularly play Manic Miner and Chuckie Egg on ZX Spectrum emus and Paradroid '90 on Amiga. Oh and Raid over Bungeling Bay on C64.

Panzer General never strays too far, along with Pro Pinball. Morrowind, Sven Co-Op, Titan Quest.
