The "V for Victory" and "World at War" we-move series of games by Atomic/Avalon Hill.
They all still interest me. Too bad no one is interested in updating them to current standards.
I can't seem to run "America Invades" anymore though as the game won't recognize the cd-rom in my cd-rom drive anymore.
Ah well............

Rob.

"SP:WaW" and the old Imagic "Great Battles of Caesar" are still on my HD.

ORIGINAL: reg113

Civ II

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [:D]

Ascendancy ruled too! And boy, did I have some fine battles in Age of Rifles! [&o]

Not many are worth playing for a long time. But:

War in Russia
SPWAW
Panzer General
SPWW2
Civ 2(yet I do play 4 and can't wait for 5)
HOMM II and III.

THat's it.

I do love playing a couple old boardgames:
Squad Leader
Panzer Blitz
ASL

Hi Obsolete (and others if interested),

If you head over to www.gog.com (Good Old Games), you can buy quite a few old games ready configured for today's operating systems and fully tested on Windows.

I see you are a big Might and Magic fan, well they have the entire series for $9.99 DRM free. It's a legit site, Activision have just come on board with them so they are publishing their back catalog at the moment.

And for D.Ilse, they released the Red Baron collection a couple of months ago (I and II).

I've bought heaps of games through them and they are very good (everything is DRM free) and 100% legitimate.

Cheers

Amen to you, DIIse, all those were my first foraws into the pc gaming world.
I would add for board games, I still set up SPI's Global War, with some rules changes. It works...well, it's nostalgic.

I would love to get Aces of Deep and Microprose's 1st B-17 sim(the 3.5 flop one, not the aweful sequal they tried) plus Red Baron II, 1942 PAW Gold and European Air War up and running, but my flight sims days as well as my FPS days are behind me.

Now it's Strat or Tact, and Close Combat is my RTS level.[:(]..almost 3X and I returned to Tabletop wargaming this year...but I play HPS games on my Laptop while waiting for my turns.

Colonization
Civ2
Lords of the Realm 2
Played Aces of the Deep not too long ago, felt dated after Silent Hunter 3 but still not bad

Well, I already have the entire series here, and while there are problems with Vista, they do run through DoS Box pretty good  

I did come across a collection of older wargames all bundled together for dirt cheap prices on Amazon, etc.  I assumed it was obviously another warez peddler so I moved on, but perhaps I should take another look.

Hi,

They are definitely legit. There has actually been a few articles written about them in the computer press recently about how they are filling a niche in the market. A couple of the big publishers, like Activision for example, are on board with them. Recently from Activision they have released the entire Gabriel Knight series along with Arcanum and a few others.

If you like Might and Migic you might also want to have a look at the Realms of Arcania Series which they also sell.

As far as wargames go, they have a few such as Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord and Strategic Command.

They don't use any form of DRM so I like to support them (just like Matrix) for putting the honest gamer first.

Cheers

I don't go back and play really old games anymore. I'm still trying to find time to play the games I bought a while ago but haven't had time to play yet. But, my hearts yearns for my old favorites like Uncommon Valor and XCOM: UFO Defense.

So many games, so little time....

1. Alpha Centauri

2. PG I

3. SPWAW

4. Heroes of MM III

5. MOO2

6. Russo German War

I still play Age of Empires, The Conquerors once and a while. Great game. Mainly I play because my wife will play it against me, when she loses she swears off it, (and on me) for a while then months later I can get her to play again. Haha.

[Deleted by Admins]

Leather Goddesses of Phobos. [:D]

Seriously, I still play Advanced Third Reich, now adapted for Strategic Command WWII Global Conflict. [8D]

Age of Rifles

Age of Sail

Master of Orion II

Shogun Total War

WinSPWW2 and WinSPMBT (which are still updated on a regular basis)

Actually playing PG right now, in the Caucasus at the moment killing a few Ruskies. I would say between PG 1,2 and 3 Allied and Pacific General I would spent agood percentage of gaming time with this franchise

Titans of steel warring suns.

Alpha Centauri.

Field of Strategy.

Hidden & Dangerous 2+ Sabre Squadron.

Operation Flashpoint + Mod's

Combat Mission BB ‘n Close Combat II

I doubt we’ll see WW2 tactical getting better then those two …………[;)]

I have recentry played MOO2, Heroes of MM3 and X-COM:UFO Defence.
All games are briliant gems.
