sam and max hit the road?, with the whitty humour

1. Ultima 7.5
2. Ultima 5
3. Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall
4. Civilization 2
5. Alpha Centauri

So many great games. TIE Fighter was incredible, Oni showed how combat should be done in rpgs. Dune 2, the template for most RTS games, the old C64 Leaderboard Golf, Sid Meier's SimGolf, Colonization, System Shock, Ultima Underworld, Terra Nova, NOLF, Unreal, Quake, X:Com UFO Defense, Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate, etc, etc. So many great games!

For me:

1. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
2. Myst (Any version)
3. FarCry
4. Diablo
5. Lands of Lore II: Guardians of Destiny

Sadly, not all support WS.

hahaha what happend with virtual PC?

Also how could I forget Diablo???"?!

Ow, gheghe, i installed Windows 98 on it and tried Silver. It did work, but it was slooooooooooooooooowwww. So not really playable :lol: . Gameplay was very jaggy and loading took ages.

I forgot Sam and Max. That was great! :D

Morrowind I liked but it really took me ages to get into. Part of that might be that while I had an English disc, the manual was all in Spanish... :? I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of explaining to the store that something had messed up - it was in the bargain bin anyway... ;)

1. Knights of the Old Republic
2. Half-life 1 and the advent of the original Counterstrike
3. Grim Fandango (what a classic!)
4. Deus Ex
5. Battlefield 1942

Would WS make these games better? Well, I still think the merit of games is the actual gameplay and/or storyline, but Hell yes! WS makes everything better.

but Hell yes! WS makes everything better.

:mrgreen:

The number 1 game of all time has got to be

1. Metal Gear Solid :P (i think 2 was the best but 1 was very very cool 2)

2. Red Alert 2 (wich still is very populair online) (not really ws support :( )

3. Half Life 2 CSS

4. GTA 3

5. Soldier of Fortune 2 :twisted:

[i posted this on the thread u linked in the first post... but no point reviving an old thread]

Great thread. You guys have listed some great games. But you've all forgotten probably the greatest pioneering space game -- Wing Commander: PRIVATEER. :D Yes, i'm that old. :wink:

It introduced some key features we now see in today's space sims: non-linear open-ended gameplay, character development, great graphics, and an interesting storyline. It's one of those long-lost forgotten masterpieces. Anyone else played it?

the reson for this is ram. I see you have a gig. the thing is you have the ram useage by XP(and anything curantly running) then you have the ram used buy VPC it self, then the ram used by 98(and anything running on98), then the game. from what I have found just to run 98 or any other os well. you need a gig. I wuld say to run a game like that you wuld need 2 gig. but I am not shure as I have never tryed to run a game like that. ( I have a old pc set up on a KVM to play my old games)

now on to the games
top 5:
1)Final fantasy (NES)
2)phantasy star 2 (sega gen)
3)skies of arkadia (dremcast & GC)
4)Neverwinter Nights (pc) (even beter in WS)
5)Call of duty 2 (pc) (wider is beter :D )

honorable mentions:
