The oldest game I still really enjoy is probably The Secret of Monkey Island for DOS (1990). I like classic NES games too but I don’t really play them anymore.

What’s yours?

    I still run through Baldur’s Gate (1998) from time to time (I should try a game as a Chaotic/Evil group but I like being a good-two-shoes too much). I love the graphics, story and game play.

    I mean to dust off my copy of Rome Total War (2004) at some point, mostly for the mods, but I’m still playing through all the factions of Warhammer Total War 2 to get my money’s worth out of it! It’s a tough life.

    I played the remaster of Command & Conquer (1995/2010) a little while ago: I was overjoyed to finish the GDI campaign for the first time, having given up on ever doing so when I was young. The NOD campaign still proved too much, but the nostalgia and music might persuade me to try again!

    I missed out on the original Monkey Island, so I’m grateful for Let’s Plays on Youtube! An excellent game. :)

      Baldur’s Gate, and especially Baldur’s Gate 2, are so good. I also occasionally replay them. The magic system is still IMO the best of any CRPG. Playing an evil group in these games just doesn’t work that well. I tried it, and most of the quest options are there, but feels pretty unsatisfying. I’d try Tyranny if you want to get this experience.

        Thanks for the info - I’ve remembered that another thing that put me off is that with poor reputation you apparently can’t buy from shops and get chased out of town by the Flaming Fist guard: I’m very much a casual player, so that sounds like a major difficulty increase to me!

        Thanks for the game suggestion. :)

        Butt kicking for goodevilness!
