"old pc games - whats the best?"

what do you think the best realy old pc game is?
i recon it is shadow caster but you decide

Theme Hospital, I have to say, is fantastic. Hilarious diseases, stupid reatments and handymen who have weird hobbies. The opening sequence is hilarious as well- I've always wanted to play Populous III on a crash trolley! :D

Can't say that I really like Transport Tycoon, though. I had the Deluxe version, and found it unbelievably easy. I have to admit, though, it offered great variety, and all futuristic planes that looked like the nterprise. But it really got boring very easily; it wasn't particularly realistic, and got repetitive.

Command & Conquer
Close Combat
Decent
THX
Theme Hospital
Transport Tycoon
Doom
Duke Nukem 3D

All some of the earliest PC games I played, and all where utterly fantastic.

Errrm Lemmings and oh no more lemmings is good picked that up for a fiver.

Also try downloading roms very nice games.

I really enjoyed the original Lemmings. Even though I was only 5 when it was released in 1993. The quirky music really rawked. :)

And some good games did come out of the original version: Christmas Holdiday Lemmings was damn cool, with some excellent scenery all the lemmings dressed up as Santa. I also had Lemmings The Tribes II, which gave a new meaning to variety.

The original lemmings is good but i think they ruined them by bringing out the 3d version.

I personaly think its Grim Fandango thats just a brilliant game realy adventures.

My personal favourite PC classics are:

Grand Prix Circuit (1988)
Railroad Tycoon (1990)
Railroad Tycoon Deluxe (1991)
Lemmings (1993)
Civilization (1991)

All damn good games. And I've still got 'em all on my old P120.

The original Command and Conquer or Theme Hospital.

nah, 'tis clearly commander keen made by the great Apogee

The Original Homeworld.
