Anyone still like to bust into Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, or Hexen? LAN party style anymore to? :)

Never cared much for Doom or Wolfenstein, but Quake and the Duke are still my 2 favorites.

Well, I usually love the older arcade-style games. But unfortunately, you had to put that UT clause in there....I always love playing UT, so arcade games always come second to UT :D

I love playin' those old games. GTA, Lords2, Rocket Jockey (anybody remember this one?) Warcraft II, etc. Most my friends don't like original Quake anymore, but I think thats cause they haven't seen it with the GL patch. It looks like a completely new game and I think it's awsome.

My friend and I are in the middle of a Quake2 co-op game right now (though I wouldn't consider this "old"). We've probably gotten about 1/3 of the way through :) . I still build quake 2 maps every once in a while; though it seems nobdoy really plays the game anymore. But it's the only editor I know really well and I don't like any of the new ones, so it doesn't look like my maping "skills" will pass on to any future game...

Oh my! I do love the old games like Doom, Hexen, Heretic; but I've played those to death (no pun intended). ;)

When you say 'old games' how old do you mean? I still like to fire up Super Pac-Man or MS. Pac-Man on MAME...

Now, thems is old school...

Carmageddon.. The original non 3d. Gotta say thats the one the one that hooked me and led me to believe that PC' gaming may have a future.
Packed my Nintendo up and found out PC upgrades cost a lot!

Wheres that box and that Mario cartrige.. J/k!

Spectre Supreme was a game I played around 6-7 years ago for the first time on my old Mac. It was a pretty solid game that I bet I could still get back into...especially b/c it was so simple for a retail game.

Warcraft II is not all that old I guess, but it certainly goes without saying....

I played Wolfenstien 3D to death. Tried Duke but never got into it much. I still break out my old atari from time to time and play Asteriods, megamania, and pitfall. Now those are old school fun games.

one of my favorites is a really old classis.

LOAD RUNNER

i have found a couple of updated versions but they run WAY too fast. The original was designed for a 386 processor.

Also, civilization 2 was a great old game as well

I don't really play the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy much anymore or The Leather Goddess' of Phobos, but I do still break out Civilization II and play it.

I love shoot-em-up games like Nemesis are Gradius. Raiden was also excellent. The pure simplicity of a game like Contra is pure fun. The game companies focus too much on graphics anymore, and spend too little time coming up with an addictive, lasting game.
