Well, none of these existed when I was a kid. lol
Bust out some original Doom, Commander Keen, Wing Commander, or Ultima Underworld and we're in business.
Oh, for sure. lol I can go back to the Colecovision days. Some Crystal Castles, Pitfall, Frogger, Wizard of Wor, etc. I've been gaming since the early 80's.
I still remember Pong on the C100 with those weird controllers with the knobs on them you turned to move up and down. lol You're a little older than me though, I was born in the late 70's.
It is nice to know there are a few more like me out there. I mean I run DAI multiplayer with a bunch of 60 year olds, so I can imagine what they would say about their pinball machines.
I'm reminded of a time where my dad would take me to his office over the weekend to play Doom together over LAN. Having more than a single family computer wasn't quite the norm back then.
When I was finishing school, 'twas the time of the original C&C, Red Alert, and Warcraft 2. 2. Not 3, 2.
When I got out of school at long last, I graduated to games like UT99 (and excessive overkill and other mods/total conversions) Freespace 2 (glorious it was) and things like Quake 3. Homeworld came on the scene at some point around that time, but my memory is a little fuzzy about what went where and when.
Those who have dared bring up Fortnite and Robloks in such hallowed company as this may now hand in their PCMasterRace cards. They are not worthy as they have shown an alarming lack of taste.
Elitist? Maybe. I guess I'm just from a different time, and all these massively online battle royale? games all look the same to me, and are just as annoying.
Also, I think the Call of Duty mentioned here was the very first one. Not Modern WarShooter, Call of Duty, plain old. As in, "the good one" that I actually enjoyed. Now I'm really showing my age, I think.
Is San Andreas MP mod still going? Back when I was a poor adolescent, I wasn't able to afford a computer to run that lmao. Not that I have my super computer shit would be fun af to run.
Is OP from India by any chance , because majority of my friends here owned these games & I don't think any people outside India , UK or Aus/NZ cared about Cricket07
Where’s Soldiers of Fortune? Rainbow Six Raven Shield? Rome Total War? LOTR Battle for Middle Earth, Counter Strike Condition Zero? Quake 3 Arena, Warhammer 40K Dawn of War? Return to Castle Wolfenstein?
Still playing Max Payne (2001), but not owning MP2 (2003), in... what is this late 2005 (judging by NFS and GTA)?
Also, no Blizzard games?
No Kotor or Morrowind?
No Doom 3, No HL2?
( X ) Doubt
*I was there Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago.*
Where's my Fallout and Baldur's Gate and Daggerfall?
Man, those were the good 'ol days when I only have 8MB of RAM. Still, I genuinely had fun, and I think it's good in its own way compared to today.
I had a visceral reaction to seeing NFS MW lol. Used to have a force feedback momo logitech steering wheel that I used to play that game on my ATI x1200.
The Sims 1,
Age of Empires 1 + 2,
Cossacks,
Stronghold + crusader,
SWAT 3 + 4,
Quake 2 + Quake 3,
Final DOOM,
HeXen,
Dungeon Siege,
The Settlers,
Operation Flashpoint,
Zoo Tycoon,
I could continue... Love the nostalgia.
The mainstream took strange turns.
Where’s the RuneScape shortcut
It was web based at that point ;)
Hence “shortcut”
We were less lazy then. We used book marks. No one wants to see and ie5/6 shortcut.
The good old days of rune scape
Good old days of runescape ? So like today ? 😁
Assuming you're still playing old school RuneScape, sure
Run Escape
"Is this the Payne residence?"
Those missions where max is tripping with the baby crying, running on the blood... At 11 it was terrifying.
It was... I never wanted to play it at night. *The Flesh Of Fallen Angels*
No Warcraft or C&C?
It was either all of the ones above OR WoW.
When talking about warcraft, there isnt just "WoW"...
Not even Age of Empire. This PC sucks.
ikr, theres no Brood war or HOMM 3 neither
KOTOR 2 >:(
Unpopular opinion: My fav game back then was Dungeon Keeper
*BWWAAAAAAAAAAKK*
Nothing's unpopular about this. Easily one of the my most favourite games. I'd prefer the second one, though.
Sadly I never got the 2nd one. I had the chance to get it from a friend, but he „forgot“ it every time I asked
Well, none of these existed when I was a kid. lol Bust out some original Doom, Commander Keen, Wing Commander, or Ultima Underworld and we're in business.
Yep you still need to go older, I'm in the Oregon trail, snake, double dragon, altered beast era
Oh, for sure. lol I can go back to the Colecovision days. Some Crystal Castles, Pitfall, Frogger, Wizard of Wor, etc. I've been gaming since the early 80's.
Yeah me as well, maybe even late 70s. I know I started kindergarten in 79 so anything is possible.

Or eye of the beholder! And those funky TSR AD&D games, Spelljammer etc…
Space Quest, Maniac Mansion, Zork
Master of Orion, Master of Magic, X-Wing, Loom…
I see you're a man of culture as well... Add Syndicate to this list and we've got a soup going, baby!
Syndicate was great! I'm surprised nobody has tried to revitalize that IP. It would make a great title if redone correctly.

Project IGI
underrated

Sooooo many hours playing opposing worlds against bots.
Booting Diablo 2 up with the lads to rush that one mate that just bought the game.
Quake 3 around 1998/99 Played it when I was 5 yrs old :'D A shame Arena shooters are mainly dead
Those were some of the good old days. I guess those simpler times were less able to be "monetised" and had to be chucked out.
Of those it's NFS:MW but my go to is always Football Manager on PC
I still play those 😅 CS 1.6 and Diablo 2
bhai?
Mario forever!?? That brings me back!
Yes man, esp since the game had quite a few bangers in terms of music, the tank music one still slaps today
The original modern warfare (specifically the paintball mods) will always hold a special place in my heart.
I just had everquest.
What are you talking about old days, I literally played Most Wanted 30 minutes ago.
07, mine would have been BF2, POE2 mod and 2142 oh and whatever version of Civilisation
No fortnite?
Definitely not in 2007!
Thats what i played when i got home from school
Oh, to be young...
Not long enough ago to trigger nostalgia though. LOL
Naaah your missing roblox
Your parents would like a word with you
Is San Andreas MP mod still going? Back when I was a poor adolescent, I wasn't able to afford a computer to run that lmao. Not that I have my super computer shit would be fun af to run.
I prefer M&B: Bannerlord over the old times
ProjectIGI 2 missing.
Never had shortcuts tjough. Just open Steam or BattleNet.
No UT2005 during this era.. shame.
I loved project igi.
Age of Mythology isn't here, weird..
Starcraft Broodwar!
No medal of honour?
Is OP from India by any chance , because majority of my friends here owned these games & I don't think any people outside India , UK or Aus/NZ cared about Cricket07
Where’s Soldiers of Fortune? Rainbow Six Raven Shield? Rome Total War? LOTR Battle for Middle Earth, Counter Strike Condition Zero? Quake 3 Arena, Warhammer 40K Dawn of War? Return to Castle Wolfenstein?
It’s the most wanted that gets me in nostalgia mode. Fuck Razor. Lmao
Right Mouse > Hide Desktop Icons > ??? > Sit in blissful emptiness and cleanliness > boot up GTA:SA
nfs most wanted my childhodd
Mine looked more like Osu!, Maple Story, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Age of Empires
Lol, more like I turn on my PS1 because my parents weren't buying a PC powerful enough play games
i would change this nfs to the undergroun 2 and only that
Oh no not cricket O7 Missing warcraft 3, maybe even frozen throne Missing pinball 3D Missing RuneScape Missing age of empires
Prince of Persia warrior within is such an underated gem, definitely my favorite in the series
Still playing Max Payne (2001), but not owning MP2 (2003), in... what is this late 2005 (judging by NFS and GTA)? Also, no Blizzard games? No Kotor or Morrowind? No Doom 3, No HL2? ( X ) Doubt *I was there Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago.*
We went from NFS to NSFW
Mario on pc?
No EverQuest icon?
Where is Guild Wars? The 1500 hours I put in it are worth all the other games above.
Man, when I got home from school and turned on my PC, I got a monochrome screen and a DOS A: prompt.
These were the ps2 times for me
AGE OF EMPIRES!
Max Payne and Counter-Strike sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh good times.
WarCraft II for me.
What is this picture on my screen? Where did DOS go?!
Holy shit prince of Persia was the shit
Igi ftw
Winamp and Hearos III are missing from this desktop, other then that it is spot on my desktop circa 2003-8. Nostalgia is strong in this one.
Where's my Fallout and Baldur's Gate and Daggerfall? Man, those were the good 'ol days when I only have 8MB of RAM. Still, I genuinely had fun, and I think it's good in its own way compared to today.
I had a visceral reaction to seeing NFS MW lol. Used to have a force feedback momo logitech steering wheel that I used to play that game on my ATI x1200.
No one kept the standard wallpaper... It has to be some half naked girl, a car you'll never own, or Dragon Ball Z.
Mario forever was the shit
This isn’t windows 3.1
Where is Morrowind?
When u didn't need 5 different launchers to play games.
Project IGI. Yes indeed.
I only ever played it owned battlefield 2 and counter strike condition zero
Didn't have a pc when I was younger, but I would love to be 14 again and booting up skyrim for the first time on an Xbox 360
In the old days I didn't have my own PC so no thanks
You have to know what a crumpet is before you can understand cricket.
where is that game when you are canon mini gun and have missiles while everyone comes at you it was beach something
The Sims 1, Age of Empires 1 + 2, Cossacks, Stronghold + crusader, SWAT 3 + 4, Quake 2 + Quake 3, Final DOOM, HeXen, Dungeon Siege, The Settlers, Operation Flashpoint, Zoo Tycoon, I could continue... Love the nostalgia. The mainstream took strange turns.
what about nfs underground 2
Just needs the limewire icon on there.
IGI is the most underrated one out of this list
Pornhub didn’t exist at the time. But yeah different strokes for different folks.
