What are the must have classic pc games ?

I finaly got me a nice old laptop last week.
It's a pentium 133 mhz with 80 megs of ram 1mb video card and 2,1 gb hard drive.

I'm going to use it as my oldscholl dos/win95 games machine and i'd like to know what games are must haves.
Thus far i have installed:

Command and conquer
Command and conquer: red alert
Age of empires
Diablo
Theme park
Theme hospital
Civilizations 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Doom I and II
Jazz Jackrabbit
Sonic R
Sonic 3D
Tyrian
Ufo: enemy unknown
Warcraft I and II


Lemme know what great classics i've missed and absolutely must install. :smt023

 

Dune 1+2. 2's better though

 

Well, it all depends on what you played then...

I recommend...

Return to Zork-Really Really cool Zork Sequel
Doom 2
Rise of the Triad <-----Man, that was my second favorite FPS...
Tank Wars )
Raptor: Call of the Shadows
Wacky Wheels-Mario Kart Clone
X Wing---Man thats a cool game

OOOH! And all those awesome Lucasarts point and click adventure games!

Like!

The Dig
Full Throttle
Day of the Tentacle
Sam and Max Hit the Road
Maniac Mansion (though I just played the NES version)

That was what I played most of the time on PC...I'm not gonna mention the obvious crap, and I do mean CRAP like Myst.

 

Doh how could i have forgotten wacky wheels and dune I + II.

both are already installed, now on the hunt for day of the tentackle and sam&max :-D

 

lemmings?
mist?

 

If you are going to get Doom and Doom II, don't forget about Final Doom.

 

Random whatevers that pop up in my mind:

-Shadow Warrior
-Lost Eden
-C&C
-Leisure Suit Larry games
-PC ports of various Japanese arcade shmups like Layer Section, Darius
Gaiden etc.
-Airborne Ranger
-Rayman
-Simcity 2000
-Dark Forces
-Rebel Assault (2)
-Wing Commander 3+4

 

re

Carmageddon (not for the weak of heart)
Hexen
Hexen II
King's Quest Collection
Mechwarrior II
Mega Man X
Quest for Glory Collection (rather expensive :smt067 )
System Shock
Terminal Velocity
TIE Fighter
TES I: Arena (free at www.elderscrolls.com)
TES II: Daggerfall
Ultima Collection

There are many more, but these are the main few that come to mind.[/url]

 

Does that run well?!

 

Re: re

The only other must have besides Prince of Persia, and Prince of Persia 2 : Shadow and the Flame

 

Yes, runs without any problems, the minimal specs according to the box are a pentium 90 mhz 16 mb ram and a 2x cd-rom drive.

Thnx eveybody for all the great tips thus far :smt023

 

Theme Hospital

hmmm i think Silverbolt needs a fix of good old abandonia ( yeah i know it is called abandonware)

http://www.abandonia.com

my recomendations are

Monkey Island 1 and 2

( i am very fond of monkey island 1 myself)

and fps games hmmm Wolfenstein 3D and the sequel
Spear Of Destiny

if they are allowed in The Netherlands because in Germany they are not

other fps games heretic Hexen and strife for good runner of the doom engine in other scenarios
and fighting games

One Must Fall 2097

http://www.omf2097.com/

for the "ancestors" of Resident Evil

i recomend Alone In The Dark 1 2 and 3 plus ecstatica

and for old 2d platformers i recomend the original Duke Nukem/Nukum series and the Commander Keen series (pm me if you want a link to the full versions of those old and great Keen games)

but now i think

i just want to say this if you want other links PM me

WolverineDK over and out for now :drinkers:

 

Umm might have to hunt a copy down for my self... wonder if windows xp will be a bitch about it tho...

 

People! How can you forget Descent!? And 3D Lemmings... oh and commander keen! Love the keen And if you ant get enough platformers, Jill of the Jungle

 

All this nosatalgia's just made me dig up my theme park and hospital.....I'll never forget the "Boggy Crappers" and "Hospital Adminstrator is cheating" in that fantastic accent...

 

Syndicate and Syndicate Wars ^_^

 

Ah yesgreat games both of em. :smt023
I'm hunting down most of the games mentioned here via abandonware sites, i must say i've found quite a bit of them already.

And paulo according to the box of sonic r it will run under windows XP

 

Indeed, how could I :smt030

/me hides away in shame to play Descent on laptop

Oh and Terminal Velocity is really nice too :smt023

 

Terminal Velocity is the best. I can't believe I didn't post it; I'm looking at my copy right now! :smt033
