"PC Classics"

Yeah, I've gone a bit mad with the 'classics' threads, but I wanted one for the PC.

So, any old gems you want to share with us?

I remember trying to add my own music on Transport Tycoon. I'm not sure if it worked or not. It was a long time ago.

I think that you can download extra music from fansites now: My brother managed to download a map based in Kent from a site, so there could be anything.

Or you could add MP3s on WAVs.

does anyone know if grim fandango and the monkey island series will work on XP professional?

cheers

I'd think so: I got Sonic 3D and Starcraft working on it, and they've got similar requirements, I think.


However, you won't be able to run classics over DOS, like you can on ME.

Commander Keen, a superb game along with the original Duke Nukem (2D).

I had duke nukem, still have somewhere, although I don't think it'll work on XP.

I remember you could give the strippers money to take off their bikinis.

Civ 1/2
TTDLX
Duke Nukem 3D (I remember a LAN game in the big stadium, genius)
Dawn Patrol
LBA2 (utter brilliance)

etc

UFO: Enemy Unknown
Magic: The Gathering
Master Of Orion
Civ 2

Civ is a true classic. Great fun to play, and really effective simple graphics.

X-Com : Terror from the deep

the sequel to UFO and a bit better
