I’m late but Quest for Glory is one of the best games of ever.
Combat was pretty horrible though. The rest of it was amazing.
making/playing quake maps is fun :3
Battlefield 1942 was amazing and the Desert Combat mod was killer.
Ultima Underworld 1
Baldur’s Gate 2
Counter-strike 1.6. That game meant the world to me. I remember all the fun mods like surfing, knife, kz (climbing), zombie survival, grenades only, knife with janky ass cars.
I know certain modes can be found now too in games like roblox. My little sister plays roblox and plays a ton of the climbing ones (i think its called obby or something). But i miss the counter strike gameplay. I think my favorite was bunnyhop hide and seek. I hosted a server and it got pretty popular. We all build fun levels together and played all day. I miss these old dedicated server games with fun mods 😔.
ut 2004, red alert, starcraft broodwar (use map settings online was awesome), americas army, halo custom edition (the huge maps with longswords and pelicans were fucking amazing), civ III, star wars empire at war, kotor II knights of the old republic (mods for this are cool)
Someone else that played America’s Army!
I loved that game, even with all its faults. I still remember those maps fondly. I haven’t found another game that quite scratches that slow-paced strategic shooter itch. (But then, I hardly ever play multiplayer games these days anyway.)
The bridge map was awesome, and the pipeline map was fun AF too.
FUCK THE SPECIAL FORCES TRAINING WHERE Y9U HAD TO CRAWL PAST THE SNIPER TOWERS THAT SHIT STILL GIVES ME NIGHTMARES
Depends how you define classic.
deleted by creator
Non digital, non streaming, no updates necessary. You bought it, you own it type classic.
Descent and Descent II
Not so sure about D3 but that was okay too I guess.
Dig Dug, Battlezone (the wireframe “3d” tank game), and C&C Red Alert 2. Those 3 will always live in my head rent-free, and they’re more than welcome to.
Carmageddon, worms, quake 3, heroes 3, doom 1, prince of Persia, wolf 3d, claw, hitman 1, max Payne, gta2
Medal of Honor 2010 reboot and Call Of Duty 2.
No mention of Allied Assault?
No, because of the game mechanics and the graphics, I can’t tolerate it anymore.
Civilization (1/2/3 all sort of blend together for me), Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Magic Carpet, Half-Life, Hexen, Team Fortress/Quake, Duke Nukem3D, Warcraft/Starcraft, Diablo, C&C, and so many others that remind of being at home on my Dad’s then-cutting edge computer, before my Dad died, before I graduated school and had my own kids, before my parent’s divorced, before everything got worse than it was, life was good just hanging out and playing games. The games may be “better” now, but I’d give anything to go back to the 90s/00s all over again.
Star Control I and II
Medieval II Total War (except that diplomacy was a joke)
Civ III was great, but Alpha Centauri may have been the best 4x game ever.
What grinds my gears about Medieval II is how every general gets a ton of battle dread pretty much no matter what
Red Alert, Half-Life, Arcanum, EverQuest, Gex, GoldenEye 007, Sam ‘n’ Max, Donky Kong Country (all 3), Final Fantasy 7 and 8.
Also liked a lot of HL mods like CS and DoD. Oh, and that cool SRC one where you play as aliens vs humans and evolve…
Edit: Tribes. And C&C.Generals…and Nox.
Are you able to get Arcanum to run on Windows 10+ or Linux? My nostalgia sense wants to do another playthrough or 10 but every time I try it just … won’t work.
I got it on Steam if that helps. There usually isn’t comparability issues released on there and anything from XP to 11 seems fine. No mention of Linux.

I have it on Steam as well but I just cannot get it to load.
Not sure. I had no issues on 11. If it’s happening in Linux and Win,.I’m guessing it more hardware related. Try disconnecting any additional monitors, installing to another disk, that kinda stuff. I was going to suggest making a new Win profile and signing into that—I’ve had that fix launching old games—but dunno if that’ll help.
Monkey Island 1-3 and System Shock 2. And Might and Magic 4+5. I play these once every two years.
And a modern classic-to-be: Shadow Warrior 2. I play this once per year (New game +) and will never stop. I have reached level 240 just today.
