Best old games of all time

Forum Windows 95/98/ME : General Discussion Best old games of all time

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
I once played a game in win95 which involves collecting a lot of candies and sweets. There are some small creatures like chicks who attack you. Can anyone remember this game for me? I dont remember if it was called chiklit or something like that.

I dont know that answer to your question but I have a similar one, way back when my buddy got an packard bell with windows 95 on it and it came with a bundle of trail games and I believe one of them was call Journeyman or something like that, has anyone seen this game before it was very addicting but have not seen it since.

Also classic games in my opinion are the whole Command and Conquer/Red Alert series

my favorite is the old dos games like wolfenstein 3d or doom the graphics may be alittle rough but its how much i get involved with them that makes it interesting i had to speciffically download dosbox on my computer just to play them but i think its worth it.

Diablo 1 and 2 and Master of Orion 1 and 2. Best games for Win 98 IMHO. Dave

Sorry - both play on Win 95 and XP also.

Thief: The Dark Project was awsome as well as the following two Thief games in the trilogy.

Never played that, but I have got battlefield 2 which is brilliant!
Battlefield 1942 does look like a good game.

Side Scrolling Duke Nukem.... Floppy disk and DOS version, not 3D

Reply to themarin8r

I started gaming on PC with Doom and the 2D Dos games.

 

Here are my favorite in no order
Scorched Earth
Decent 1
Decent Free Space 1,2 and expansions (my favorite)
Commander Keen series
Crystal Caves (must play that again...)
Need For Speed SE
Quake
Blake Stone
AVP 1
Awe the memories. I've tried playing Decent 1 again, but the graphics are horrible. I must have had a better imagination when I was younger.

That or you were using a much smaller monitor so the graphics looked better -- Decent always made me dizzy ! (not that that stopped me from playing it!) -- I still miss the old Infocom Text based games like the Zork trilogy, Deadline, etc.

Reply to JDFan

Naw. Actually, monitors back then had higher resolutions :) my 19in CRT had a resolution higher then HD, I forget the actual, but it was something like 2048x16xx. The game probably played at 640x480 though.
