Silent Service (1985) for my spectrum hooked me on simulators.

Carrier Command (1988) my Atari ST was fantastic and years ahead of anything else at the time.

So many to choose from...

Frontier is probably the best game I ever played. An entire galaxy, newtonian game engine, a full economy, a ton of ships and dozens of missions... all on a single floppy disk? Practically witchcraft. Seriously, it will always be the granddaddy of space opera's for me.

For something a little more action-y though, you cant go wrong with:

So many erm The Bards tale on my spectrum 48k, also I liked those adventure games eg: you are in a dark cave a man jumps out from a rock waving a stick, then you typed something like, hit man with sword etc
spent many hours trying to figure those games out.

I know doom has been mentioned, but that's not the most awesome oldschool game. It's actually Doom 2, because my brother and me could deathmatch that over a null-modem cable (and later over our coax network).  :wink: Our specialy edited version of the first map, named 'Go to hell' remained our most popular entertainment untill duke nukem 3d and quake 1 came along.

One notable moment among the many hours of doom 2 (keyboard only) deathmatch: my introduction of the 'specially adapted' version of our favorite deathmatch map: i added secret rooms with controls to close doors, operate light and for the grand finale: boss monsters to appear. You know, the fat guys with the chainguns and the huge rocket shooting endboss. I can still hear the screams and shouts of indignation when i interrupted our deathmatch session to show the power of the mapmaker.  :twisted:
Too bad 'build', the map editor, kept crashing.  :mad:

How we hated 'lame' bfg use. How we debated which was better, the double barreled shotgun or the rocket launcher? Good times.  :D

Also, why has nobody mentioned Civilization 1? It was awesome!

And why has nobody mentioned Ultima Underworld? Also awesome!

im not that old, even aoe I was before my time but aoe2 was one of the first games I got addicted to. and its pretty timeless I still play it occasionally. this game still has better gfx than alot of modern games imo. I just wish it had functional online multiplayer cause hamachi/garena is fun pretty dodgy/laggy.

yet to play another game with ability to make own single player campaigns too....

In no particular order. Some people may say that some of these games are not really "old-school", but whatever rings the nostalgic bells for me is old-school, doesn't matter if it's early 90s or early 2000s.

Blade Runner, one of the best "movie games" ever released

(click to show/hide)

Outcast, what a beauty
(click to show/hide)

Grim Fandango . The final masterpiece that came out  when the golden age of adventure games (quests) was at it's dusk.
 
(click to show/hide)

Death Rally

(click to show/hide)

Omikron : The Nomad Soul  (from the creators of Farenheit/ Heavy rain), a ridiculously underrated game full of brilliant and original ideas. OST made by David bowie 0_o.
(click to show/hide)

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (2 was also great, but this one will be remembered forever)

(click to show/hide)

Donkey Kong Country 1-2 . Mario has nothing on this imo. Ah , the music...

Killer instinct. Again, the music...
