Replaying old games

Post by Marutia Ortia »

Do you like to replay games, which you`ve had played before? Which ones do you like to replay over and over again?

I find myself playing "The Guild or The Guild 1400" over n over. I can't get enough of that Sims type feeling an action in Medieval times. Much better than Sims Medieval.

Of course the wargame I play over n over would have to be Combat Mission and Panzer Osfront or Norbsoft's Scourge of war series which probably leads the pack and Steel Panthers.

All three STALKER games, my favourite FPS by a mile. It was fun revisiting System Shock 2 when GOG released it, too.

SPWAW and MegaMek for me
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Absolutely (both) …….. just not a big fan of the pitcher and fielders rating system in APBA ,prefer SOMs pitcher lefty/righty breakdowns along with its fielder range and error probability being calculated separately along with all its depth pertaining to player individual ratings . Even though APBA quality blows SOM away (game components and cards) and probably calculates a more historical team outcome at the end of the day I enjoy Som’s detail in (super advance)

I play a lot of draft leagues and APBA gears their rating system toward historical “team” results as Som’s is geared to give you the cold hard facts of every individual player making it more adaptable towards draft leagues

I still find myself playing the old Colonization. The Civ4-based one is just different, so I tend to return to the old one over and over :).

Also, speaking of Old, Shadowrun from console. It was a fun RPG. I don't really "replay" it, but I keep coming back to it once per year or two.

why?

i do, i use windows 8.1 pro 64bit, and downloaded a free program called dosbox launcher and all my old dos games work fine, same as any for win 3.1,98SE plus any version as well tbh, ME,NT 4.0, vista and xp & win 7 any version using the compatibility tools included in windows 8.1.

tbh not had a single game as of yet that couldn't be run so far
