PC Classics that you still come back too

[Arklight]

Got a couple of lazy days at home and decided to have a sort through the pile of game CDs that is collecting dust in teh corner of a cupboard and found some classics that i have started playing again.

What oldies do you still play or do you wish you still had?

For me currentley its

Transport Tycoon (sad i know but so addictive)
The original Carmageddon
UFO enemy Unknown
Ultimate Soccer manager 98
and of course original Civilisation.

[TonyHetherington]

Grand Prix
Doom
Stunt Car Racer.

By god they're good.

Great link! However, i had a quick browse of the readme and it looks as though you need to have the original game, in order to install their opensource version? Is this correct?

If so, have they made any changes via their opensource program, as it would just make sense to play the game you had already purchased?

Champ Manger 98/99

Carmageddon also.

and the origional UFO & Civilisation

Lengendary...! I loved that game. Same for 4D Sports Driving.

[GasolineFire]

Baldurs Gate 2

Commandos (any of them =) )

The Tom Clancy Rainbox Six/Rogue Spear...

[FourWheelDrift]

Doom - Doomsday version (http://www.doomsdayhq.com/)

Last time this was asked I remembered I built an add on WAD for Doom, managed to find it again after all that time and played it again

Still have it here - http://www.mercia.biz/Doom/Stony.WAD

Can't remember how to load it in normal Doom. "doom -file stony.wad" I think, but if you use the Doomsday loader you just pick it from the menu.

You can pick up a copy from eBay for pennies.

I have just downloaded the 0.7.0 version and it appears to have new vehicle types. The pictures on the website would also suggest that the limitation that used to end the game at 2051 might be gone too.

Oh well thats good then. I'm sure i already have this around the house, i just wanted to make sure that the opensource was adding things to the game, as otherwise i couldnt see any point in downloading the OS patches. Think i'll have to find this and give it a go
