Best Old School PC Games

[Rockstar11]

After just reading a post about how good games these days are being determined by hows great they look in the graphics department, I just wanted to drop a nostalgic post about why a good game is all down to game play, immersion, atmostphere and old school innovation.

The purpose of this post is too just discuss the merits of the old greats of the PC gaming era - Im interested to see peoples thoughts on the topic and what they think were great old school games and what made these games stand out amoung the multitude.




my fav old game is.

post ur best old pc game.

Are these games that much old? Coz even now I really love these more than the recent ones!
I remember my dad used to run a game on his dos pc with black and white screen for me in which we had to control a anti aircraft canon and kill aircrafts passing over ,anybody knows its name? It ran from a floppy
And yes command and conquer yuris revenge and some nestopia games like contra

 

[coderunknown]

half life opppsing fronts & hexen2.

Another one was Need for Speed II. An amazing game and IMO is still the best in the NFS series.

best for 2 player on same pc.

 

[gameranand]

Hmmm.......Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe and Fallout Tactics.

 

[MatchBoxx]

Delta Force series and Project IGI !

 

[coderunknown]

Hmmm.......Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe

i was about to tell this. good tactical gameplay but really really hard.

another game is: Freedom Fighter.

 

[gameranand]

i was about to tell this. good tactical gameplay but really really hard.

Well I didn't found it that hard but yes it was not easy at all. Planning and executing the tactics was fun for me. My whole crew survived the whole game. None of em died at all

maybe you are used to playing these kind of tactical game. i have played (or tried playing) GRAW & failed. so this is not something for me.

Yes you can say that because I have played GRAW also and loved it and none of my squad members died in any mission at all. I loved Rainbow Six series also and loved it. I like squad based tactical games.

i love hidden and dangerous series for its tactical play. even the newer H&D has great tactical elements

Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame

Prince 2 had great music.

 

[.=Pyro=.]

Prince 2 was good but not as fluid as the first one.
I too love Half Life. One of the greatest game Ever!
