Other PC games worth a mention:
  • Total Annihilation
  • Age of Empires
  • Descent (really disorienting FPS but still awesome)
  • System Shock 2
  • Half-Life (of course)
  • Grim Fandango
  • Simon the Sorceror (voiced by Chris Barrie of all people)
  • Star Wars: Dark Forces
  • Wing Commander (especially 3 and 4 with the Mark Hamill FMV's)
  • Terminal Velocity
  • Interstate '76 (one of the best game soundtracks ever)
  • MDK (I remember summoning a dog pilot to airstrike...)

MDK!!! Brilliant and silly as fuck game.

I've been getting into Eye of The Beholder as it's totally more fun now I can have the maps in a browser next to the DOS Box window. It used to be all about graph paper back in the day...

Oh this my cum zone!
Carmageddon I + Carmageddon II carpocalypse now. You can get both of these from abandonware. Do it.
Duke Nukem/Doom/Hexen/Heretic\Quake/Blood pretty much all the FPS copies they had coming out between 93-96. I'm getting abit moist thinking about the beavis + butthead VoiceOver add on for Doom. Uhhmmm.
Star wars supremacy was a game that was great but very underrated.

Transport Tycoon was my favourite game when I was young. I had a right laugh naming towns. "Gaytown" being a firm favourite.

I would love to have a go at Quake again, I loved that game! Got hold of the disc but it doesn't work on my laptop. Bastard.

Yeah the disc is an absolute nightmare for xp and vista. Just get it from the abandonware site if you don't feel guilty about it. You can download the addons with it aswell. Malice .... Whoooosh!

There are a whole bunch of engines designed to fix the compatibility issues with Quake and XP/Vista - I have had problems in the past running Doom properly but managed to find some useful engines to improve the multiplayer etc.

I haven't used this before but it looks like it is something similar to what I used for Doom:
