The original Grand Theft Auto is a million times better than the sequel, don't waste your time with the second one. I'd definitely suggest playing Duke Nukem II - not the original crappy 8bit version but the awesome 90's version, this one: also i'd suggest quake live: http://www.quakelive.com which is just quake 3 arena (that was released in 1999) that you can play through the browser Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47749-older-good-pc-games-that-i-should-play/page/2/#findComment-1093349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba69 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 On 7/30/2009 at 6:54 PM, Iain C said: Of course, if it's Diablo you like, I recommend the (not quite but nearly) original hack-and-slash RPG, Nethack ( http://www.nethack.org/ ). It's been in continuous development since 1985 (like me), still updated today. Randomly-generated dungeons, loads of character races and classes, and more depth and replayability than any Diablo clone. And its graphics are created entirely using ASCII characters, so the system requirements are negligable. The graphics take a bit of getting used to, but give it a chance - it's very rewarding and incredibly addictive. I've been trying to beat it for longer than I can remember. Oh, don't worry, I'm fully familiar with nethack. And yes, I agree it is a great game.

Bubba69 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well, so far i've gotten half life to run. Its hard! soldirs constantly throwing grenades at you... fucking assholes, half the time I don't even see them. I got isos of diablo and fallout, but I can't seem to get them to run in WINE(I'm using fuseiso to mount them in my home folder and then running the .exes with wine), I could just boot over to windows but I'm lazy. So I'm looking for other games in the meantime. Okay, I just tried and fallout seems to run fine. But kind of glitchy. gonna try some other stuff out... thanks guys!

awepittance Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) nice to see that halfway through the 2nd page of this thread people start actually mentioning PC games PRE 1997 , excited about that! here are my favorite PC games of all time Quarantine It's a driving game that uses the engine from Doom, pretty hilarious driving physics and super violent with really dark detailed levels. you can pick people up to collect cab fare to buy weapons (GTA definitly stole this) and if you don't like your passenger you could eject them out of the car in a cloud of blood and intestines. Carmageddon also was heavily influenced by this game Magic Carpet the first RPG/strategy game to have fully action oriented gameplay, no point and click bullshit movement in this one, its all first person 3d. the graphics were amazing for it's time highly underrated game Edited July 30, 2009 by Awepittance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide awepittance's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47749-older-good-pc-games-that-i-should-play/page/2/#findComment-1093423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
