I just got X-Com : UFO Defense (AKA UFO: Enemy Unknown) for $5 from Steam. I've always wanted to finish this game but you need massive amounts of patience with it, due to the fairly epic turnbased battles later in the game.

Thinking about picking up Fallout 1 as well. Anyone else fond of the older games or do they just seem like a massive disappointment when your nostalgic bubble pops?

Flashback was amazing in its day and to my mind still is pretty damn good.

I actually have an original copy of that, on floppy disk as well! Pity I don't currently have a floppy disk drive but I'm sure I could bump it off the intrawebs if I ever feel like a shot.

Classic game though. Caused a lot of swearing, if I recall, but I still kept coming back for more!

any old point and click game still amuses me, games like monkey island and full throttle.

What does that have to do with old PC games?

In lieu of next year's AvP release, I dusted off Rebellion's original which someone patched to work on Vista if you install DX9, except that it crashes on mine whenever I try to fire the skeeter gun. Otherwise fine.

Anyway, I'd forgotten how great it was, from the sheer panic of playing the marine to the creepiness of playing the alien to the predator's sheer variety of killing. I hope they get all of this in the new game!

I got Aliens : A Comic Book Adventure but I've got to figure out how to put that on DOSBox... and I'm gonna try and track down Bladerunner after that.

I played some Ultimate Soccer Manager 97 the other week. I love some of the gimmicky features, like looking at tables, results, top scorers, international squads etc on Teletext, and how you can evan engage in a bit of match fixing if you so wish, but you need to be careful, incase you get the sack. You can also build your own stadium and its surroundings, which is neat.

I finished two seasons in an afternoon. Then I got a bit bored. Good times.
