Does anyone on Gamespot in general own/played classic PC games?

I'm a PC gamer first and a console gamer second

and I agree, PC gaming largely ignored here, even in the PC forums most classic PC gaming threads are ignored

still, I'll leave you with my bigbox PC game collection, there are some recent games on the pic like WOW, but this is an old pic i used for something else :P

We never talk about PC games because those can still be discussion in the PC game section.

But might aswell mention some PC games I like:

Airline Tycoon
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Hidden & Dangerous
Jagged Alliance
Jagged Aliance 2
System Shock 2
Outcast
Midtown Madness
Warlords Battlecry II
Metal Fatigue
The Longest Journey
Dreamfall The Longest Journey (I have both XBOX and PC versions, prefer the XBOX version, but it's still great on PC)
Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
Melty Blood Act Cadenza
Ys Origin
Galaxy Angel

EDIT: Forgot I didn't need to just mention old games and could mention slightly more recent ones :P

I loved my old 386 IBM

Of course. I'm playing GTA2 right now, which is free to download from Rockstar Games.

I've also played the following on PC recently:

Aliens vs. Predator

DOOM

Wolfenstein 3D

MS Flight Simulator X (2002)

Yeah, my first 8-bit and 16-bit game experiences at home were on the Commodore and Sinclair computers (Intellivision excluded).

Since I had an Amiga I never felt I had the need for a PC. I didn't buy a PC until 1996. But by then, I had missed out on many cool games.

Some favorites C64: Bruce Lee, Beach head 2, Turrican series, Bard's tale, Wasteland, Koronis Rift, Arthur Pendragon series, Exploding fist, Gunship

Some Favorites Amiga: Defender of the crown, Wings, Cannon fodder, Desert Strike, X-out, Walker, Warlords

Some Favorites PC: Starcraft, Warcraft series, Beneath a Steel sky, X-wing & Tie fighter games, King's quest etc.

I still play Hexen and Doom I and II.

I still have a copy of my favorite PC game, but my W7 PCs do not run it properly...RIP Lords of Magic...

I own and have played to Sam & Max Hit the Road, real funny game

are you referring to the last one? Sin episode 1?

as far as i know the game sold poorly and the studio closed

Of course. Many classic games tend to be best on PC (save for arcade versions) and it has some great games that were never ported over to consoles (such as Outcast, System Shock, BioForge, Magic Carpet 2, Ultima Underworld, ect.)

But I think you should differ between IBM compatible PC and the other computers like Amiga, Atari, Apple, ect. because putting them all in the same basket is almost like saying that Nintendo, Sega, Atari, ect. are all the same (which, of course, is not true).

The IBM PC just destroyed all competition and can now emulate them all (what a bully :P ).

well being 32yrs old I grew up playing PC games (along with Atari, nes, and a LOT of arcade games)

some of my favorite classic PC games are

- the Punisher (very hard to play without a street map of where to go)

- Stunts (you create your own 3-d tracks and then race against computer opponents or the clock)

- Mechwarior (the original on dos)

- Monster Truck Madness

- MS Flight Sim

- F16 fighting Falcon

- Conan (on Apple II)

- Oregon Trail (on Macintosh)

- Sim City

- Doom

edit: oh and the original Syndicate was a fun game too

some of theses games you can still get, and some are even available as abandonware or freeware. I highly recommend downloading DOSBOX so you can play these games on a new pc running windows 7. It's still a pain to make the games run (and you might need to learn how to operate dos) but totally worth it.

Absolutely love Sam and Max: Hit the Road, Command and Conqueor series, and Starcraft

OG starcraft and Broodwar

Roller Coaster Tycoon

Radio Control Racers

Wolfenstein 3D

Alien vs Predator 2(no expasion/if this counts)

Disciples sacred lands

Konung Legends of the North

CLANS

I've played all the classic Ultimas. They are great. I started to really like them when developers decided to use paperdolls. I've also played Duke Nukem, Quake, Doom, Prince of Persia (the first one), Fallout, Fallout 2, WC, WC 2 and many more. I suspect that there aren't many individuals born in early 90s or earlier who haven't played classic PC games. For younguns there is really no reason to go back.
