News Credits: 13 | What older (& newer) PC games do you still play? So just recently, I re-installed my copy of Aliens vs Predator 2 onto my new PC. It runs amazingly. Much much better than before with my old PC. I can now play online and experience practically no lag what-so-ever. When other people are lagging, I'm not and I can smoke them. Plus, with the better performance, I can actually play the game better than before.
My other PC games I have here are:
-Doom, Doom II, & Final Doom.
-LEGO Island 2.
-LEGO Alpha Team.
-LEGO Racers.
-Sim Theme Park.
-Beast Wars Transformers.
-Trespasser: The Lost World, Jurassic Park.
-Star Wars Battlefront 2. (DVD-ROM)
For some reason, I can't get Trespasser or Beast Wars to run on my new PC (yet).
I'm more of a console gamer so I only buy a PC game every few years. If I can get it on console, then I don't feel the need for it on PC. The most recent game I have purchased is Star Wars Battlefront 2.
So I'm wondering fellow board members, what older (& newer) PC games do you still play?
And for those curious, my AVP2 name is "Optimus Prime". And I usually fight a guy named "[TNT] Megatron" (TNT is his clan. He recently asked me if I wanted to join it.). Seriously, we do have Prime vs Megs fights on there every night or two. It's great fun. We throw quotes back and forth at each other while we battle. Example:
Him: "PRIME!"
Me: "One shall stand, one shall fall."
Him: "Why throw away your life so recklessly?!?"
Me: "That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron!"
*fights*
Oh, and while we're at it, does anyone else here play Aliens vs Predator 2? WANTED: The Rooster Hat from Scribblenauts(Special Pre-Order item). *IF anyone's EB Games/Gamestops have leftover hats that no one picked up & can get me 2-(even if you must buy the game twice) then PM me ASAP! |

X-com was (is) the #1 ranked game of all time I believe. And it was made in the 70's or somethin.
Once upon a time....
