Freespace 2 suffered a tragic fate. It was in most ways better then the 1st and it sold poorly despite having 5/5 star reviews all around. To me it's the best Space Sim ever made, yes better then Tie Fighter.

better then Tie Fighter.

Hey I forgot about Tie Fighter, I played that game a ton too. Never tried Freespace but I always loved Descent 1 and 2 - I wanna play those games NOW dammit! Nothing works on XP or Vista!

 

[The_Prophet]

Definitely.

Sam and Max hit the road, a point and click game that was actually good and is by far the funniest game I've played.

This. SO this. Whackiest video game humor in history.

There's a Freespace 2 source code project out there called "Freespace 2 Open Source Code Project" or something similar. Anyways the game works fine on XP and Vista and also supports widescreen resolutions and all that jazz. I recommend checking it out.

Monkey Island 1, 2 & 3
Original Prince of Persia

These are win on a stick.

Diablo 2 is 10 years old, I think. So, that.

Never really liked Starcraft. Didn't play anything older, really. At least, not unless its a port.

 

[zoozilla]

Pure awesome.

I concur.

Best theme song ever, as well.

Civilisation
The Settlers

Hey, that looks like fun! too bad I don't have freespace or freespace2, otherwise I'd try this out. Also, I tried Glidos for Descent2, but it crashes my system everytime. And I forgot, I DID get Descent 1 working with Dos box, but the mouse input was iffy and I really really REALLY was dying to turn the resolution up.

 

[300lb. Samoan]

Pure awesome.

I concur.

Add me to the pile - the best point-and-click adventure I ever played

I hated Lemmings, because I was too young to ever complete a level. I just couldn't make them do what I wanted them to do!! American Mcgee's Alice is a bit too recent, if you ask me. I was thinking much older... plus, now that I've re-read Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, I realize how inaccurate and uninformed it is.

Raptor (see AC10's post) is a good one, but my choice is Another World, by Eric Chahi. Even then, when I was 7 or 8, I realized that game was something special. I wasn't too surprised to discover Fumito Ueda was inspired to make ICO thanks to that game.

How do you post pictures here?
