I have a soft spot in my heart for old DOS games and old Windows 95/2000/XP compatible games. Are there any that you still play in some capacity or another?
Here's a few I still play, even now:
1. Monopoly Tycoon - Hasbro's first attempt to really expand Monopoly past the traditional board game and into a more Simulation based, strategy game. I was like SimCity and the Build-A-Lot series.
2. Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold - This game was built on the then, all new Doom3D Engine and plays just like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D as well. You're a Special Agent who is hunting down a disgraced mad scientist who killed your family and is hell bent on killing you. It's 6 episodes long and 10 episodes per episode I think.
3. Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Vol. 1, 2 and 3 - An interactive collection of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. There were usually 3 investigations to solve and a certain amount of points to accumulate before you could present your case to the Judge.
4. Oregon Trail II - It's not really a sequel per se, they just filled out the game a little more and created more depth. For example, you can choose which year your party leaves which in turn, impacts what cities you can leave from during that time, it also determines what items might be available and what occupations you can choose from.
4. Clue CD-Rom (Win 3.1/95) - The classic board game was reimagined as an interactive party detective game. 3 different murders to choose from and I think there were like 3 or 4 difficulties to play on which impacted who the murderer was. The only thing I wish it would have done was randomized who the murderer was each time, because otherwise, once you correctly solve the case, no matter the level, then the replay-ability isn't there since you already "know the answer".
Others I play periodically:
Space Quest - Humorous point and click sci-fi game that parodies a lot of then pop-culture stalwarts. Notably Star Wars and Star Trek.
Where in The World is Carmen San Diego? - I watched the show growing up also, but for those of you either too old or just not hip. You're a detective who is on the trail of the leader of the V.I.L.E gang, Carmen San Diego, and her crew of thieves as they steal landmarks or local relics from different places across the globe.
Those are all the games I recall I'm playing for now.
Hit me with your classics! If you're old enough to even have any that is....
