StaceyPowers Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 We talk a lot on here about classic games from our childhoods which we get nostalgic about and miss playing. But what about classic games you didn’t find out about until later, and never had a chance to try? Are there any old games you wish you could play for the first time, but don’t have the old hardware to make them run? For PC games, one should hypothetically be able to get around compatibility issues by running a virtual machine, but my laptop can’t really pull that off.

Alyxx Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 One game I've always wanted to play the full version of is O.D.T. I've managed to get it working in VM but not really well and it's difficult as hell to get working on modern PC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll follow you on this because the full version of O.D.T. it's on my list (by the way, I have to say that this is a great choice). But you know, we can't have it all... Right? Haha!

skyfire Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Old NFS games are also harder to find. Most of the new games seems to be pretty much high on the PC configuration. And it makes you wonder that some of those old games can be any way played with say something like DOSBOX. I think if DOSBOX can support it then yes surely go ahead with the emulators play it on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the old NFS games are for Windows, which means you can't run them in DOSBox since DOSBox only emulates a DOS PC environment. You can play the PSX versions in a PSX emulator though.

The good side (at least for me... of course, haha!) is that currently I'm not as addicted as I used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 To be honest, I've always wanted to try out the older Dragon Age games but I can't be bothered to create another Origin account after EA deleted mine without any warning or reason why.

kingpotato Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 The matrix online it was an old mmo but they shutdown the servers, I dont know if the game was good but I think it would have been cool to play that game back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I really can't think of any old ones that I missed. I've been playing from the Colecovision and Atari age, so I was right in the mix when new more advanced systems and games would come out. Meaning NES, SNES, N64, PS1, and so on.

skyfire Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think emulators can do things upto certain extent but after some time I don't think that old games can be easily playable in near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 For me, the PC-centric Baldur’s Gate series has always had an allure, but I never had an opportunity to play them. Thankfully, they’re coming to modern consoles soon so I’m looking forward to checking ‘em out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldur's gate is a pretty good series - what I always remember about this game is the incantations for the spells are absolutely epic. I am also looking forward to the new version to be released early next year as well. DylanC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find with playing older games on Windows 10 PC is that you have to enable compatibility mode for that particular game to get it to function.
