Transport Tycoon Deluxe (which lives on as the much improved OpenTTD.)
Master of Orion 2
Star Wars Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast
Home Alone (1991) - Special mention as my first computer game. Still have the box…
Age of Empires II (revived, remastered, and still receiving expansions and development)
Descent and Descent II
Not so sure about D3 but that was okay too I guess.
Still playing OpenTTD and Dwarf Fortress.
Been looking into getting into DF but it all seems intimidating and lacking polish. Is it worth the effort? I know people love it, but learning curve is kind of annoying. If you had to compare it to a similar game, which one would it be?
The Steam version is great, but still fairly intricate. (not complicated, but there is a lot going on) also get DFHack, it automates a lot of the confusing stuff). Definitely worth the effort IMO, I am having a lot of fun with it. For example, I was besieged by goblins last night, and after a big fight one of my dwarves killed their leader, and we won the day. My champion was praised in song and engravings, and we made a platinum statue in his likeness, that was displayed in the entrance to the fort. A few weeks later the Duke of Paperprice (the name of my fort) threw a tantrum because his mandated goods was delivered late, and in his rage he killed our hero. One of the dwarven kids had to carry his mangled body down to the Atomsmasher. Ah well, that’s dorfs for you.
Star Control I and II
Medieval II Total War (except that diplomacy was a joke)
Civ III was great, but Alpha Centauri may have been the best 4x game ever.
Red Alert, Half-Life, Arcanum, EverQuest, Gex, GoldenEye 007, Sam ‘n’ Max, Donky Kong Country (all 3), Final Fantasy 7 and 8.
Also liked a lot of HL mods like CS and DoD. Oh, and that cool SRC one where you play as aliens vs humans and evolve…
Edit: Tribes. And C&C.Generals…and Nox.
Are you able to get Arcanum to run on Windows 10+ or Linux? My nostalgia sense wants to do another playthrough or 10 but every time I try it just … won’t work.
I got it on Steam if that helps. There usually isn’t comparability issues released on there and anything from XP to 11 seems fine. No mention of Linux.
