i've downloaded somes games on abandonia , and i can't install them or play at all. do i need a special program to make them work? or its only because i use windows xp pro.... :smt022

the games that i've downloaded had the XP sign , though...

 

While I agree with your choice (sure as hell do!) playing it on a P133 isnt very fun - heck, I had enough trouble on a 200mhz Cyrix :smt009

 

Yes, that Game Also lets you Use one of the Cities you made in Sim City 2000!

 

cahaz: use dosbox and VDMSound

read the readme or howto before you use the programs

if it is not daemon tools you also need

 

Ahh, Nostalgia returns. The PC has some amazing classic games :-D

The only games i ever used to play were point & click adventures. Here is my list of my ESSENTIAL pc must haves.

Lucasarts
-----------
Sam & max
Day of the tentacle
The Dig
Full throttle
Indiana jones & the last crusade
Indiana jones & the fate of atlantis
All of the monkey island games
Grim fandango

Others
--------
The legend of kyrandia trilogy of games (i love that series)
Shivers 1 & 2 (creepy horror point & click adventures)
Companions of Xanth (another fun adventure with some very weird puzzles)

Also my fave non adventure game would be Night shift by lucasarts its a fantastic puzzle game where you have to control a toy making machine that makes lucas character toys its a really nice game and very unique.

(EDIT) Oops My bad, must do a spelling check more often :smt043

 

hmmm that game must stink ;-)
yeah i know it is Night Shift

i am just teasing you no offence

 

Pirates!, Pirates!, Pirates! and also Pirates!

 

yes great game because the first pc version looks exactly like the great C64 version.

 

Doesnt that game *require* a 3dfx card? :-(
In Silverbolt's case that's not really an option unless he wants to carry a docking station and external screen around all the time :smt043

(hey, it makes you strong )

 

Someone else who's heard of the kyrandia games?!?! and LOVES them.

I think you're my new favorite Taku

 

The original DOS Pirates is quite old. Pirates Gold was for Windows 3.1. So, uh, no The new 3D remake isn't even out yet (November 16 is the release date I think).

 

yeah i am talking about the old and smashing great dos version that looks exactly like the original C64 game

one of my favorite abandonware list sites is resurrected

Since this thread got bumped, I'll take the opportunity to mention that Fallout 1 and 2 have a recommended config of a P120 and 32MB of RAM.

 

Can´t the Moderators make it a stiffy this time ? (sticky)

because this thing is kind of retro

 

Some old games age terribly. Wolfenstain 3D makes me puke now. Same for Daggerfall. And in it's time I considered those breathtaking

 

Uh, kind of an old thread, no?

Anyway...
Abuse
Raptor: call of the shadows
Platform games by Apogee like Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, both of which I preferred to any of the Keen series.

 

No PC/Mac game collection is complete without one of the finest RTS series ever made, Bungie's Myth 1 and Myth 2 (circa 1997-1999).
Super fun without any of the boring resource management aspects which bring down most other RTS games...you get an allotment of units (occassionally you'll get reinforcements mid-level) and it's up to you clear each stage. Great story too, just do yourself a favor and skip the horribly poor Myth III (which Bungie had nothing to do with, btw).
