Ah...brushing up on your bullet time skills,....smart, something tells me your polishing your guns for Max Payne 3. I hope it delivers, so far trailers look great, even though we have to wait for consoles to get theirs first. Oh well good things come to those who wait. :cool:
System Shock 2.... Can't play it because im too scared

System Shock, and System Shock 2 have to be some of the scariest, and the most edge of your computer chair games ever created, I suggest day time play only, and a really bright light in the room. :o
One Must Fall, for real? Great!!!! One of the best PC fighting titles ever made, this is an old game. Very cool, nastalgic!:cool::cool::cool: (You get three very cool imoticons)
The original X-COM, is timeless, hours and hours of good gameplay. For those that have never tried this one, your are missing one the best top 50 PC games ever developed. Give it a try! Hope the new remake delivers this fall.
I've had it since my first computer which was a Pentium 1 200Mhz, 64MB ram, 3D Voodoo Banshee (I think it was 32MB Vram) and Windows 95. Ha! And to think back in the day we payed 20$ for it... How times have changed (I'm sure there's people with older PCs that will reminisce the days they owned one).

My first Intel rig was a 486SX33 running a Matrox Mistique 4mb card. Back in that day my newly discovered first 3D shooter styled game was Tomb Raider, incredible in it's day. From that day I was hooked!:cool: (In fact I still have it, and can run it with DOS-BOX)

Ya back when Core was the developer. I still have my copy of Tomb Raider as well. Gold Edition.
Quake Live (eh, basically Quake 3 Arena, whatever), and Doom. :cool: Come to think of it, I only really play those on my crappy computer nowadays, along with Fortress Forever, for multiplayer. :? Oh well. I'm having fun.
I just enjoyed the hell out of Wing Commander. Got it on GoG and used Xpadder + Xbox controller. The nostalgia was incredible, and it played a lot better than it did in my youth.
Installed Thief Gold, patched with the community fixpack so everything works great. I never got past the first Gold level, so I'm looking forward to a free night to turn off the light, put on some headphones and play what is probably the most immersive game ever.
Also, it's fascinating just how level design changed during the 15 years since the game's release. Thief levels are really, seriously huge. It's much easier to treat the game world as an actual place when you aren't limited to corridors. Also, it messes with my completionist attitude in that it's pretty pointless to try and see everything - you just have to treat it like a stage to complete your objective rather than the rollercoaster ride mentality enforced by current design.
Liero came out, if Wikipedia is to be believed, in 1998. That's not that old at all.
Topic is "What is the oldest PC game you have booted up and played recently?" and I'm still playing Liero ... that's not old at all ? Go check other posts and compare where is 1998 and where is 2003-2004 ... :lol:
Dungeon Siege 2. Was playing it back to back with Dungeon Siege 3 (I enjoyed them both). Now I'm playing Diablo 2...sort of a Diablo marathon coz I'm doing Diablo 3 next. Perfect to let things settle down with Blizzard servers. One thing I can say beyond my own doubts is that the "classic" games are really that good. Some of them at least. After the initial retro graphical hurdle, the gameplay are still golden. After than, I'm doing a Deus Ex Marathon :)
