Old Computer Game you wish you could still play

[BlindMessiah94]

Magic : The Gathering : Shandalar

It won't run on anything but Windows 95 anymore....

I's a sad panda :'(

It was a sweet game too...the card game meets an RPG...

You could try finding some emulators. I use Dosbox for all my Doom games.

Hmm, not a bad idea, I may just do that thx

 

[Hybridwolf]

Homefront (all three of them), The old command and conquers as well and for some reason, transport tycoon. I'd love to abl to play that again, but since that was in the DOS era...

 

[SomeBoredGuy]

Star Wars: Republic Commando and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2.

Whenever I put in my install disc, my computer crashes. I am a sad panda.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Sonic CD, I don't have a lot of PC games.

 

[Neverhoodian]

TIE Fighter. I've tried many times, but I just can't get it to run on my more advanced system.

It thinks I don't have the right (outdated) version of DirectX and thinks that it still needs it for the game to run. I've tried multiple times for an emulator or some other solution, but I find myself getting distracted by something else, or something better or more important than a nostalgia trip comes up

):

I actually got the Tie Fighter CD that my friend gave me (I originally had the DOS version) to work on my previous computer that ran Windows XP, but it took quite a bit of tweaking and fooling around. That was a few years ago, and that computer has since died due to a virus. I wouldn't know where to begin on my Vista laptop, but I keep the disk in the hopes that some day I will be able to play it again.

KOTOR, SimEarth

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Pretty good for the Age of Empires II engine, but thats also it weak point, terribly unstable. Got so bad I couldn't put up with playing it anymore.

Grand Admiral

I want to play the Action man game I remember so fondly, it was the first game I owned.

 

[seanmcdow]

toonstruck, really really good adventure game

 

[seanmcdow]

While not something I had the chance to actually play to begin with, I am saddened that my computer cannot play "The Longest Journey" =(

that is a shame. it's probably one of the best adventure games ever

 

[Worgen]

redline but its one of those windows 95 games that really doesnt like xp

Never heard of that game, Shooter RPG, Survial Horror? What kind of game is it?

it was an fps car combat game, combination of shooter and car shooter, I think that was the name, Ive got the disks around somewhere

edit: yeah here is the wiki on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redline_(1999_video_game)

Don't really have a ton of old games. I wish I could still play Worms Armageddon, but for some reason it won't work on my machine now, even if I try comparability mode. It's not that old, but it crashes anytime I load a game.

Buy Worms Reloaded (Basically Worms Armageddon), it's out on PC on the 26th.

I can't wait.

Also, I want The Lost Vikings to work again... I never finished it.

you can play lost vikeings in the campain of starcraft 2 once you get on the ship

That's "The Lost Viking". A completely different game from "The Lost Vikings".

Interesting enough, Garrett is my last name in real life

When you talk do you sound like Stephen Russel doing Garrett's voice for a theif game.... are you secretly Stephen Russel who changed his name to Stephen Garrett XD

No....uhh...my name is Bren Garrett, I was just saying....*looks around nervously*

toonstruck, really really good adventure game

I opened this thread with the intention of posting exactly that. That game was so much fun. It would probably be more-so now that I'm a bit older and will understand the jokes better.

 

[wolf thing]

KoToR 2 sith lords. never beaten it and now i cant get it to work and i cant fined any patchs

Thats sounds fun, oh BTW Nice Avatar, I can't look at it and not laugh

 

[Cogwheel]

I pray to god every day for the ability to easily replay Thief 1 and 2 and System Shock 2. It hasn't happened yet.

You... actually managed to post the exact three games I was going to mention. Nice one.

But yes, it'd be nice. At least X-COM still works (thanks, DOSBox).

 

[muckinscavitch]

TIE Fighter. I've tried many times, but I just can't get it to run on my more advanced system.

Agreed. This and Sim Tower as well... Wanted to just dick around with it while watching tv or talking to people but it wouldn't run :-(

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

I don't remember the name but it's kind of a math teacher game with a detective mystery. You are this guy who walks and flips through a place and use a remote control to fight televisions by answering math questions. You gather clues and items to find the bad guy and win.

Another game from the same company made a science game where you collect boxes and build cars, planes, and blimps of the highest efficiency to win while dodging enemies. I really miss those games.
