European Air War
Longbow 2

And probably many others, far too many to mention

I still play the X-com series, and Medieval(and Rome) Total War.

I've noticed that the DosBox program has some problems with WinXp(mostly graphics) and some games, so I've got a slower Win98 machine for those games like X-com, Daggerfall, Elite, etc....

I played Halflife2 all the way thru, enjoyed it, then removed it. Takes too much space, and just doesn't have the same replay value as open ended games. same with Doom3. I'll play them again, will never sell them, but they just don't rate the disk space they use.

Lately, I've gotten back into Muds....I spend a lot of time at Discworld. :up:

Wow, how could I forget Medieval Total War. That is a great game.

Not to mention the oldies but goody X-COM.

I found a game which is basically a rip off of X-COM called UFO Aftermath. I had to buy it to get my X-COM fix since I've long lost any copies of the original. It was worth the 30 bucks. :)

I'd heard of that. I thought about buying it when it came out, but didn't for some reason(I forget why). Is it as good as the originals?

Nedlam 11-04-05 11:08 AM

Yeah, the eye candy is obviously much better. It plays mostly like X-COM. I've wasted may an hour glued to my computer screen whacking mutations and "Greys" (that's their little pet word for aliens).

If you liked X-COM you'll like this. I heard that they might be coming out with a new X-COM. I forgot the company who originally produced it but if you do a search you'll probably find info on it.

Great thread, it's a trip down memory lane. I remember my first (and only other) Sub Sim which was Silent Service and I played it on my Commodore 64!!! :) Ahhhh, happy days. I remember thinking: "These graphics are amazing!!!" :)

Can you imagine, 30 years from now, our children will be trying out something like Half-life2, or Doom3 for history class, and would consider the graphics "quaint"?

Von Scheerbach: I've run games with DosBox on XP without any problems, so you should be able too as well. That's what it was made for!

try f.e.a.r. -- the ai in that will literally blow you out of your shoes -- advancing under cover, suppressive fire, moving environment objects to create cover, grenades -- if you're kicking ass, they'll even refuse to engage you.

In no particular order, these sims are what make having computers worthwhile for me. Of course, where applicable, all the best add-ons have been utilised.

FS2004
Silent Hunter III
Orbiter
Sub Command / DW
Operation Flashpoint
Aerowinx 744 Simulator
Pardox Games series (EUII, Hearts of Iron II, Victoria)

For instant, gratuitous feedback, the following I have succumbed to in the past:

C&C Tiberian Sun
Stronghold
Quake II
Close Combat III and IV

and more recently, for just plain fun:
Half-Life 2
