Your first pc game as a kid that got you into playing computer games? Mine was Lego Island, my dad got it for me on my 8th birthday and it was the best birthday to this day lol. Besides that I miss playing counter-strike 1.6 with my friends when i was in high school. Now that i've grown a little, there's nobody on my block that comes over and plays game with me, and the only competition is to play online :( What games to you miss?

I miss winter nights spent playing Road Rash, Red Alert, Carmageddon and Quake 2. I spent a lot of time with a broken PC that had no sound and ran Quake 2 at like 15 fps. I was listening to the radio or some bootlegged music tapes that my friend was making for me.

The only games I miss are multiplayer games, since the communities eventually dry up and evaporate. I don't miss old single-player games because I still play them all the time. :)

That being said, I think the game I miss the most is Rune. There are still a few servers, but they're usually just modded arena servers, and people tend to just go for the big spammy weapons. I miss the way it used to be. :(

Second place is a tie between C&C: Renegade and Tribes 2. Many, many great times were had in those two games.

I remember lego island. I played the hell out of that game when I was young. :)

One game I miss is Dungeon Keeper. With DK3 cancelled and the license now used to create some ****ty MMO, I miss it greatly. No other game that has came out is like it, even Evil Genius is similar but doesn't scratch that DK itch. Dungeons appeared to be what I've been itching for, but that game's marketing just tugged on my nostalgia strings in a deceitful way...

Honestly, I think many Dungeon Keeper fans are begging for developers to just rip-off the game. After all, we're not going to see a true Dungeon Keeper game. I know I wouldn't mind. I miss Dungeon Keeper and would love to see and play a recent incarnation of it to scratch that itch, not some MMO.

Commander Keen was an iconic game for my childhood :) - I remember it as one of the few computer games I ever beat. Another one I really enjoyed, but that really didn't receive many accolades, is Traffic Department 2192 - bloody hours of fun in that one :)

Multiplayer Descent II matches as a kid.

Playing Melee when it first came out.

When Super Mario 64 felt photorealistic.

Red Alert 2. I still load it up when my brothers are over. My favorite multiplayer rts of all time.

That's not the first one I played though. Those were commodore games, and though I liked them at the time, I can't say I miss too many of them. :)

Yeah, it's sad how things change and we gotta grow up. I remember me and my 3 best friends used to play HOURS of super smash bros after school. Now i'm the only one who plays games anymore -___-

Hi, there. i am trying to find an old game so i really hope you guys could help.Please excuse my english It was a mini game, no full screen...you were driving a ship (the ship had 4 weapons if i remember correctly,but i remember only 2: a harpoon and a cannon ) on a board just like Minesweeper's with lots of squares which represented the sea . The mission was to find all 9 (could be 10) hidden treasures underneath those squares. There were 5 islands placed randomly on the board and if you drove your ship on those islands your ship's "health" was restored and ammunition added. Some squares revealed sea monsters, pirate ships, phoenix birds, ghost ships and you had to fight them (the fight was "heroes" style....each side taking turns). Other squares revealed swirls that removed one of the treasures found if so, others revealed compasses that were showing what's under a square formed by 9 squares (hope you understand what i am trying to say).......under some squares were maps which highlighted the nearest treasure..... Please guys, help me find this game.....i've been trying for years to find it and no result, i am begging you

I missed those times when Bullfrog was around and they made really fun games like Populous and Dungeon Keeper. Hopefully Lionhead'll consider bringing back Populous in the future maybe.

I miss playing my Sega Master System until all hours with my friends. One night I said 'One day you won't need to come to my house, you'll be able to play with me from yours' and they all laughed. I constantly remind them when we get together.

Ha... I still have my old CD copy of LBA 1 & 2. They are two of the few old games I still have in great condition (with manuals), as well as the first SS, Diablo + hellfire, WC2, Bioforge and Homeworld. All great games.

The ones I regret loosing are Freespace 1 & 2 and Outcast.
