You haven't lived until you've seen an Mi-24 Hind as a triangle with a horisontal line on top... Microprose...[8D]

I've seen worse on my old Atari 2600. But to still be playing it after all this time? That's got to be a record. [X(]

They have it on GOG... Think it costs like 6 dollars. No more than 10.

Thank you.

I will get it. I had no idea they made it available to run on a modern PC. [&o]

Just checked. It's available as a download for $5.99...

I bought Ultima 6 two weeks ago from GOG. I love that game. Not sure what year it came out but it's gotta at least twenty years old.

A lot actually. The oldest must be Great Naval Battles: North Atlantic + expansions (1992). Then I still regularly play Complete Carriers at War, Task Force 1942, Panthers in the Shadows/Tigers on the Prowl II, Silent Hunter Gold, and John Tiller's Campaign Series (but the Matrix edition now - same with TOAW).

I don't know if they can be called "old" but he three original "Combat Mission" games (the first was published in 2000) never left my HD too. I was never interested in the new iterations.

I played Railroad Tycoon about a week ago.

I did the same thing last weekend! [:D] 1990.

Sometimes I'll fire up an Infocom text adventure.

They date from 1980 thru 1987 with the oldest being Zork(1).

War of the Lance, Master of Magic, Civilization II, Centurion Defender of Rome, Sword of Aragon and Battles of Napoleon are a few that I still play from the days of old. With DosBox or D-Fend Reloaded they make it possible and easy to do now. But, the very oldest I play from time to time from back around 1981 or 1982 is Sword of Fargoal origionally released on the VIC-20 a cassette tape game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_of_Fargoal. Later came Temple of Apshai and Telengard.

I cant figure it out. RR Tycoon II and III do not work with my 64 bit version of win 7. The original does.

Just guessing, but maybe the original is a DOS game while 2 and 3 might run on 16-bit Windows code or use a 16-bit Windows installer (which 64-bit OSs can't run.)

Had similar issues trying to run many of my Windows 3.X games on a 64-bit system. Only solution that seemed to work for me was to run/install Win 98 as a virtual machine and install the games there.

A few months ago I played a game of Computer Ambush (1981). Can't honestly say I enjoyed it though. The oldest I play regularly is Flight Commander II (1994).

Still have and play "Silent Hunter The Commanders edition" off and on.

Ditto for "Steel Panthers III"

and would you believe "Panzer General II"

I still play
 
War in Russia (still better than the actual version[8|])
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
The Civil War, Fort Sumter to Appomattox
Red Baron
Total War Rome

I raise the anchor and set sail in the Caribbean, Pirates is still a fun game for me. Fighting the evil Spanish, capturing and sinking their ships after plundering the cargos.

Pillaging their towns and later their cities.

And at the end living a comfotable life as a rich English nobleman.

Terror from the Deep and Mechcommander 2.

Baldur's Gate II and Master of Magic get fired up once in a while.

I so would like to have a go at Master of Magic.[:)]

I think it's available on Good old Games for a measly price and it is already tweaked for modern systems. Once you get past the old graphics the game is fun. It plays alot like Age of Wonders game which is much newer and graphics are much better also. I feel Age of Wonders is the actual spiritual siucessor to Master of magic.

That's certainly how it was advertised. A shame the game isn't within a lightyear of MoM in quality.

I still play Jagged Alliance II (1999), Achtung Spitfire (1997), Over the Reich (1996), Flight Commander II (1995), Fleet Command (1999) and Fighting Steel (1999)

The best year in regard of game releases was 1999. I still play several titles from back then. Like EverQuest, Baldur's Gate, Thief: Dark Project, JA 2, SMAC, and so on.

Here some of the oldest games i still play (not counting games i just discovered like Master of Magic):

- Master of Orion (1993)

- Civil War: Generals (1997)

- Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain (1997)

- Lords of the realm II (1996)

- Master of Orion II (1996)

- Star Trek: Birth of the Federation (1999)

- Caesar III (1998)
