What are the must have classic pc games ?

Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy! (platformery)
Sam n Max Hit the Road (point+click adventure)

 

Recently adventure games have turned into click and drag.. seriously, look at Tales of Monkey Island.. and it's devoid of classical MI humour for some part.

 

SAM N MAX I SAY.


the original

 

hmm what is your take on pinball games ? hell one of my favourite pinball games is Extreme Pinball and the table Rock Fantasy, but there are loads of other awesome Pinball games such as Digital Illusions famous Pinball Games, and Epic Pinball and Silverball plus the 1995 version of Silverball, but what is your favourite Pinball game on the PC ?

Skavenger216: you can get the talkie version of Day Of The tentacle from there.

 

Chips Challenge
Oregon Trail
Math Blaster

 

One of my favorite PC games is Lode Runner Online. It works great on XP in Win95 compatibility mode.

Oregon Trail is so weak

 

I can't believe nobody's mentioned the Crusader series yet! Also, The Lost Vikings.

Wing Commander will be released as freeware on the pc.

Some of my faves:

Redneck Rampage
Dark Forces 1 + 2
Yoda Stories.
C&C Red Alert.
Noir

And one which you absolutely must get if you have an old PC is Toonstruck, one of the best point and click games ever made and it's rarely known and horribly underrated. It's nearly impossible to get it working well in DOSBOX too.

 

If you like click and point puzzlers, I would try to find 7th Guest. Skip 11th Hour (the second game) it's way too hard, not to mention they changed the story so much.

Hi guys, I just found a Russian abandonware site

Old-Games.RU Скачать старые игры. Постоянно пополняемый архив со старыми компьютерными играми.

http://www.old-games.ru/

Yes, I know I do not read Cyrillic or speak Russian. Then it is pretty easy to navigate through the site, cause if you move the mouse over the Cyrillic letters. Then you should see the "normal" letters down in the bottom of your browser.
