        I also tried Syndicate recently but found it way too fast.

              I'm currently involved in two Civ 2 PBEM games + every now and then I try to beat the fastest conquest record (objective cities only) playing as the Turks in the WWII scenario... Again, that's Civ 2...

                Wow a lot of SMAX(C)ers here!

                Don't tell me it's impossible to run SMAC on XP. Isn't there a patch for this problem?

                  Yes, there is. It worked on my machine(with the patch installed, otherways not) untill the aforementioned reinstall.

                      Yeah nothing like a bit of slave trading, using the proceeds to buy illegal narcotics worth a bucketload in the next system.

                      Can't say I've played it in years though.

                        I would love to be able to play some UFO/X-Com, but the computer woun't let me.

                        Elite II wouldn't be a bad idea either but my brother sold our Amiga and I don't have a joystick.*

                          ooh err

                          btw elite II has recently been released on shareware, so people can enjoy this game without resorting to abandonware or similar sites

                          you can get the game and related stuff here

                            Spent a few months looking for an old timers pc just to play the classics as they should be. Its a P166 48mb with a AWE64 soundcard.

                            At the momment i'm playing:

                            Daggerfall
                            X-wing

                            and as a not so old classic CTP2.

                            I occasionally fire up various others just to remind myself of their greatness, things like:

                            Civ
                            Pirates
                            Moo2(i liked it)
                            Elite plus
                            Xcom - UFO unknown(on my amiga)

                            They are more than enough to keep me occupied for the next year, unlike alot of newer games

                                elite 2 rocked. the main problem was the copy protection. the map was nearly impossible to read.

                                what amazed me though was the size. the entire game was only like 3 megs or somethng.

                                what disappointed me though was the lower number of options compared to elite 1. my friends who had it told me all these stories of having to scoop plasma from suns and stuff. all i did in e2 was assassinate people. whoopie.
