For me it's probably Civilization III (first released 2001) which I still play regularly as if it were released yesterday. I have on occasion dipped into JTCS (based on 1998 releases) and even played the old Star Craft 1 for a couple games a few months back (also 1998).

But for me Civ III is the most durable game in my collection. Hard to believe its over 10 years old. [X(]

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

Currently Gunship (1986), Wasteland (1988) and Laser Squad (1988 - but only the C64 version). I also have Halls of Montezuma: A Battle History of the U.S. Marine Corps (1987) and Ultima V and Project Stealth Fighter (1988), but I didn't have time to get into them. I have bought full boxed versions of them in last three years.

1986!? [X(]

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

HardWar from 1998
Baldur's Gate also from 1998 but I am not sure if this counts because I only bought it from GOG a couple of weeks ago.

Best wishes,

I played Railroad Tycoon about a week ago.

Of course it counts. It's the same game, just tweaked to work on modern boxes...

Yes. And the best thing is that I have played Gunship for the first time in 1992 or 1993 - when the game was already 6-7 years old. I haven't played it much back then because it was just a cassette rip with one mission. I had seen a full sealed version on Ebay for an attractive price 3 years ago, so I have bought it. I play it from time to time. Though I usually play a C64 emulator version as the original PC version crashes when I reach the rank of 2nd LT.
It has some neat stuff like having to start engines separately and start rotor. IIRC it was very useful for autorotation and quickly decreasing altitude. It was one of the last helicopter sims that allowed to play in realistic mode without a good analog joystick.

Here is a gameplay video:

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

I had it for my C64 back in about 1987-88... Back in the day when games came 5.25in floppy disks, with a manual the size of a brick.

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

Just thinking about the C64 brings back many good memories. Unfortunately my C64 had a terminal accident about 10 years ago. I used to play USAAF and a couple of other games on it then.

In some ways I feel games where better then. Since they couldn't do it with graphic they had to deliver some other way. With captivating story or... Anyhow. Someone mentions 'Master of Magic' and I feel all nostalgic and thinking back on that game makes me think that although it was buggy it might be the best game ever made.

Thank you.

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

Yeah. For example:
LOAD ERROR
READY

MULE for the Atari 800! I have it setup in my basement.
It's a great 4 player game, where all 4 players are active at the same time.
