Post your favorite old school game (with screen shot)

Stronghold Crusader
not quite that old but still a masterpiece of isometric glory
(This one is the most perfected in the series)

Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall

I was 10 when this game came out, loved it. Also Warcraft 2 was out around that time too. Baldurs Gate is another awesome game that came out a little later.

Yeah, not the oldest of oldschool but they're definately old and they're definately awesome lol.

I think the oldest awesome games I can remember are games like Alex the Kid and Outrun on the Sega Master System. I also used to play my fathers old Spectrum as a kid, with the games on tapes that took FOREVER to load and all looked like complete shit, but there were some fun games on there like Bruce Lee.

Populous, the 1989 one. It was one of the first games I played, and on an old amiga computer.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Clonk
fully destructible terrain (and not on "block" terrain), fun as hell multiplayer (up to 4 players on 1 tastatur, online possible, too), thousands of mods. It had everything, spent way too much time on that game. Everytime I see that Terraria stuff I have to think about good old Clonk, beeing way more awesome and way less weaboo.

Not incredibly old, but Age of Empires II (and the expansion) will forever in my mind be the greatest RTS games I've ever had the joy of playing.

Do you honestly think you have any sort of moral authority, Reyiz? Go genocide some more armenians and deny it ever happened, please, and stay in the middle east.

Just finished it a week ago.

Best adventures:
Beneath a steel sky (cyberpunk, good humor, very thrilling)

Gabriel Knight

Best newest classic:
Battlezone (specially I, II wasn't that good) - awesome narration, and one of the first (and best) mixtures of a strategy game and a FPS game. You build up a base from within your tank, scavage raw materials, build units, and then lead the units into battle. That shit was awesome.

Let's see, what else...
my favourite economics game:
oldtimer/motor city: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/496/Motor+City.html
my favourite.. whatever:
cover action. that thing is so freakin awesome. And it gets you addicted like nothing else. Probably the best "secret agent" game ever. (Just realised it's from sid meier. Figures. ) Fly around the world and trace down terrorists.
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/139/Covert+Action.html

what else: UFO, of course, the discworld adventure game, alone in the dark (I nearly shit my pants with that game when I was a kid), Incredible Machines, Descent, Lost Vikings, Magic Carpet (*cough*), Neuromancer, Zak McKracken, Cannon Fodder for the Gore, and last but defniately not least: Elite (+ sequels)
