Hi all!
Am I the only one around here missing the simplicity of some of the older games out there, or perhaps just don't find the newer games as good as the old ones?
Anyway, here's a little list of old games I find really good.
* MAX (Mechanized Assault and Exploration)
This game is buggy as hell, but it's a really good play, especially in multi-mode. So far I haven't found any game that measures up to this when it comes to strategy.
* Fragile Alliance
Somewhat similar to Master of Orion (don't know which came first though), another excellent multi-game, not better than Master of orion, but different and according to me; better.
* Descent (1&2)
The best "FPS" as far as I'm concerned. Not as fast as Quake and some of the others where you play a person running around, but if you put some effort in learning the game mechanics... WOW!
* Giana Sisters
A Mario-clone for C64, that I find better than the original Mario-games. More power-ups, and simply funnier.
* Dungeon of Doom
A Mac-game for the earliest macs. Basically you are a small stick figure running around in a maze of squares meeting more and more monsters. Not a "good" game, but very entertaining
* Escape Velocity
Another mac-game. Think EVE in 2D and you have it.
I won't clutter up this topic with more games I like, time for you to tell me which old games You like!

Hell yeah! I used to stay up all night blasting rebel scum whenever I slept over at a friend's. It made me bug my dad to get a mac for years.
Who are you calling Rebel scum? I've got a Rebel cruiser with 5 mantas loaded and ready for you...

Sweet christ, I thought I was the only one on earth who'd ever played that. Any tips on getting it to work on XP? all my attempts have been futile, even with dosbox it crashes.
Hmm... I played it on XP not that long ago, even played multi over the internet via a VPN-tunnel (or similar don't remember what we used) IIRC the trick is to have the win98 release of the game (could be win95) and not the pure dos version, and then run doxbox (think we used v0,63) and as usual fiddle with the .cfg until it works.
Send me a mail ingame and perhaps I can help you...
