Oddly enough I have the PC versions too but they don't hit me in the nostalgia zone like the C64 versions.

When Wasteland 2 came out last year you got Bards Tale (the original and the remake) with it for free.. they both ran on windows 8.1, but the original bards tale was so low res it was hard to even read on a 27" widescreen.

smass:
Rogue, Wasteland, Starflight, Ultima 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert, Warcraft II, Planescape Torment, Baldurs Gate 2. Played the living hell out of all of them. I still play some Baldurs Gate every so often. I still have all the discs and manuals in the original retail boxes. Someday collectors items? Probably not, and as for playability: God bless gog.com :applaud:

HAHA....I just remember doing a multi-config to screw with base, expanded and extended RAM. Used to piss my mom off so much....being 39 it sounds so funny to say that. Though sad that it was like 25 years ago!!!!

So many of those games.....memories. Life was so much simpler then.

menace:
Star control 2--absolutely loved this game when it came out--A whole galaxy with over a dozen species to interact with--and the melee mode was brilliant for a quick head to head with your buddy--look up ur-quan masters project if you want to try it out..To this day I think babylon5 got much of its material from this game ;) (only half kidding)

Wing Commander :privateer
X-wing
Tie fighter
Starcraft --although I must admit I stopped playing it because it became less a game and more an exercise in micro-management..and since I've left jobs for that very reason, it sullies the experience a bit ;D
Diablo2--replayed it recently but again, i don't think it held up since I felt like all i was doing was trying to find better equipment and whacking stuff..
doom 2 and wolfenstein or really an FPS from that era--I use these games to point out to my kids that minecraft isn't actually the best game in low-res..
Syndicate was an awesome game for the time

I'm getting all nostalgic now--i wonder if there are some good youtube videos on dosbox..hmmm

Malenko:
Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 and the Yuri's Revenge expansion. Still play it to this day.
