What Games Do You Miss the Most....

[Dis]

Speaking of Masters of Magic, now strangely, I'm in the mood for that one as well.

I was reading someone talking about strategy about that game, and I realized there is much to that game I never discovered. I never had the rules (I had a "rented" copy of the game). And I think there was much I haven't tried in that game.

I may look about getting the game.

Sanitarium. When I played it on XP a lot of the text scrolled by much too fast, and it diminished the atmosphere. Fortunately, I already knew what I was supposed to be doing in the game, so the inability to read some of the text didn't make the game unplayable (as it otherwise would have).

Ultima 7 parts 1 and 2. I've never been able to get it to run on a win95 or later machine.

X-com. It just runs too fast. I know there are progams to slow your computer down, I just haven't bothered with them. Perhaps when I'm in a serious craze for x-com I will.

You have to find a special patch to get it working in XP... I don't remember where I found it, but it's out there somewhere




I miss The Settlers II
I can get it working in XP, but not if I install the Mission CD... I have it installed, the mouse wont move in the game

I can't get Grim Fandango to work properly on my new computer.

Hmm, that should be recent enough. What was the problem?

If I remember correctly, you have to install the patch from their site, then it works...

I miss Caesar2... Conquering an entire empire and building cities was cool

Nope. Even turned off hyperthreading. It still freezes constantly, and irrevocably at the start of Year Two.

I tried everything I could find on the net to make it work. It seems like a pretty hit-and-miss sort of thing.

There is an engine for running Ultima VII in Windows (and a few other modern operating systems) called Exult. It works for both Part 1 and 2.

Caesar 3 was better
