I would show them Doom, Duke 3D and Quake. Then I would show them all my Duke Nukem action figures and really freak them out.

I keep all my games and I even can't play some of the older pc titles properly anymore. So I guess those kids will only have manuals, cds, dvds and cases to look at... all thanks to the great backwards compatibiltiy of Windows.

who said i'll have grandchildren, and btw do you know if life on earth will exist in a few decades? children like flashy things, they don't value or respectstuff forits historical significance. i'd rather show some currently modern or not so modern games to older teens or adults in the future who will understand the meaning they had at their time.

Why hasn't anyone said Doom?

Hopefully my grandkids will have the gamer dna flowin through their blood and will appreciate FPS titles and I'll make sure that the first fps they play is EVERY Doom title, except for Doom 3. Oh also all Half Life titles.

I love how there always has to be a significant number of people that just happen to pick out something that came out within the past two months for these kinds of questions... :roll:

You ask the same question in a year or two and almost nobody will say Crysis.

Anyway, I'd have to say Starcraft, The Sims, World of Warcraft (if it was even possible to show them), Wolfenstein 3D (the game that pretty much started the FPS genre, even if only because it came out at exactly the right moment), Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego :D, Oregon Trail, Sim City....

Hell, I could probably keep going for quite a while...

Best chance is for some talented individuals to mod it. Honeselty I'd prefer it more than anything VUG had their filthy hands on.

Well, I'm actually planning on simply saving my old PC, so that when I'm old and retired, I can play Baldur's Gate 2 for the last time and live happily ever after. Woohoo! :P

I think old games will still be a viable form of gaming once the post photo realism starts coming in.
I mean, for example, with these really old RPG's (I'm talking 1990ish, not 2000ish), you often had either butt ugly or almost no graphics at all. But those games just had this great thing that you could use your own imagination, and they'd become more real then, for example, Crysis.
It won't be long until developers are able to make every single thing we can imagine and put it in a game. How will you use you imagination when hyperrealism is slapping you in the face? :)

Would I live that long? Seriously...surviving 40 yrs is not a joke...

As for the sake of the topic, No ...I wont bore them to death by saying how old time was...instead I'll play latest games with them ..and I'll let them pwn me in future competitive FPSs. Some of you have no idea how godly fun it is to lose to your children and grandchildren, even if you can win...you don't even want to. example: My dad.

But they will be more superior than you. Making 1on1 Dm matches with my friend's grandchildren or children against my Children or grandchildren is what I'm looking forward to. If I'm lucky.

You know, I never really thought about it. Just like our grandparents who always start a conversation "In my day..." We will be doing the same but instead of a story of walking to school, we will be talking about fighting NOD or destroying Diablo multiple times and how hard it was to do so due to the limitations of our hardware.

Yes, you really can't not show future generations how great Half-life 2 was. I would also have to say Far Cry, Call of Duty, Doom 3, and Rome: Total War.Colonel_Cool

Might as well just take Medieval 2, its Rome with no clone armies, better graphics, and more content
