What is the oldest PC game you still play?

**BelgradeWar** · 03-01-2006, 23:22

Fallout I. Along with Fallout II, it's the best game duo (I&II) I ever played. And I played a lot of games...hell, FO II is THE best game I ever played...

No particular order

Sid Meier's Colonisation - (my fav game of all time)
MTW
Birth of the Federation
Cival war generals 2 - (when I fancy a good battle)
Jelly Monsters (Vic20 emulator - version of pacman)
Bubble Bobble

I remember back to the old C64 days, I had a couple of great war games by US Gold, one was called Normandy but I cant remeber the other. They kept me playing for years. Pity we have no games of that type now.

So sad, so sad ...

It seems to be available for less than $5.00 (not including shipping) from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...81567?v=glance

I've never let my copy get away from me.

Reinstalled The Longest Journey... Magnificent.

Caesar III gets fired up every now and then.

Baldur's Gate 1&2 with expansions run nicely on my Mac, so they get revisited quite often.

From the same stable, I keep going back to Planescape:Torment - now that is a bad trip

but I'm determined to figure it out.

Oh and of course, Ultima Online. Had a subscription since 1998. How sad is that?!

Oldest game's probably Ultima VII, but I also play:

Alpha Centauri
Planescape:Torment
Total Annihilation
STW
MTW

I would play Fallout2 if I could get the damn thing to run under XP...

**Avicenna** · 03-07-2006, 16:03

Very rarely AoEII, solitaire, minesweeper, and oldest of all donkey kong.

**Paul Peru** · 03-07-2006, 19:30

Micro Machines II
One Must Fall
Medieval: Total War

**Shaka_Khan** · 03-12-2006, 11:48

Solitaire and Pinball

**Upxl** · 03-13-2006, 22:30

Sid Meiers Colonization.

proofs you don't need good graphs to create a fun game.

**John86** · 03-18-2006, 02:12

Army Men
Greatest game ever made.

**Togakure** · 03-18-2006, 02:53

Either Quake or Masters of Orion II or Torment. I don't know which of these is the oldest.

Edit: Oh and Alpha Centauri too. I like to mod it to resemble Dune factions.

I have a few old games on my PC. Today I revisited Ultima 7 briefly. A great game. I also have the original Doom and it's addons and sequels that I reinstalled a year and a half ago. Playing it on the net is hilarious fun! I used to make levels and stuff for it so occasionally I revisit it. I also still have Theme Hospital and System Shock installed, the latter one I can't quite get to play as nice as I'd like on XP. There's some other old games I still play now and again as well, but the oldest is definitely Ultima 7. A masterpiece of gaming, full of bugs, but still great. What a shame every Ultima after that got worse.
