Stronghold, startopia and deus ex. I've never played system shock, I really should give it a go.

Talk of Borderlands 3 caused me to fire up BL2 at the weekend - just for a look...so down that rabbit hole again. It's so good though.

Ancient Domains of Mystery (aka ADOM). It's a very tough roguelike game going back to 1994. I have a win this year, so I'm happy.

I never actually played it in its hay-day, but I play Links 2003. I think this is the oldest game I play.

Often play Mario Kart on the N64, but PC wise often have a play through of the old monkey island games

Windows 10. You can actually buy it here https://www.linkscountryclub.com/proshop, it also has extra downloads like patches for more resolutions and to make the game generally more compatible.

There is still a few leagues going around and a forum. Sure it isn't as big as the likes of Golf Club series but it's a very impressive game once you get past the dated graphics.

Doom 3, in VR but I haven't used it this year. Been too many other good games to play.

Bigpops · 8 Apr 2019 at 14:57

Will be Rome: Total War for me. At least for PC games. I think it's from the early 2000s. Great, because my 8 year old PC is still way over the top for such a game.

Elsewhere, I still play SF2 and other Street Fighter games since my brother bought me the anniversary collection.

I honestly think I would puke playing DOOM in VR. I get queasy in VR anyway and DOOM would just tip me over the edge!

Amen to that. Had many many great hours playing this when i was 15. That's what battlefield needs to go back to, a huge sandbox map with lots of vehicles and just let people play!

Leisure suit Larry. Mainly 2 and 3. Just the nostalgia puzzling solving.

My current oldest game that I've got installed is warcraft 1 from 1994. It brings so many childhood memories.

After that I think it might be dark colony.

Half-life (1998). When the scientist runs to the soldier for help and then gets assassinated and the music kicks in and you fight the soldiers for the first time - magic!
