People Still play old games??

G'day guys

im writing this because of the steam summer sale, for some reason newer games are not appealing to me so much these days, just purchased morrowind, half life complete and first bioshock..

just wondering to any of you get into the old classics and if you do could you recommend me some titles 

cheers guys

Sacrifice, wonderful third person rts hybrid it was released in 2001 i believe, also original war is a pretty unique and awesome rts. I play old games all the time currently im playing might and magic 7.

Recently I re-finished witcher 1, KOTOR 2 and currently re-finishing Vapire: Bloodlines. So yea. The pc has the greatest library of any platform.

Edit: for VtMB: Bloodlines, same thing except add the unofficial patch and the better clans mod. 32x CSAA and 16x anisotropic filtering among other graphical enhancements can do a lot for older 3D games.

Edit: typo.

I'm likely the only person who tells people this, but play Ys.  Ys Origin, I and II Chronicles and Oath in Felghana all kick ass!

Other than that, I'm replaying Half-Life 2 myself.  It's still boss.

I´ve been playing Battlezone(1998) recently,still an amazing game to this day and one of my all time favourites,there´s still a fairly active community for the online side of the game(though I only care for the single player myself),you can check them out here and you can get the installer for the game from there as well,fully compatible with recent OS´s.

It´s a really good game,everyone should have a go at it at least once.

how long is this sale im new to pc gaming and i dont get paid for like another 10 days am i gonna miss out?GuillotineDream

That was a great game, haven't played it for years but loved it, but I believe it was released in 2000 during the Golden Age of PC Gaming (1997 - 2000).

As for me, I'm playing Baldurs Gate 2 again as well as Thief 2 for the first time. Strangely enough I believe these 2 games came out in 2000 as well!

Everybody plays old games because the new games aren't released yet :P

Anyway, I play more old games because they are timeless to me. I get more enjoyment out of them. 

EDIT : A few I'll recommend!

1. Sonic Adventure 2
2. Jet Set Radio
3. Duke Nukem 3D
4. Shadow Warrior
 

ive played Oblivion for five hours this day. Finished the figthers guild questline and now playing through the mages guild questline focusing on alteration.

I bought Cannon Fodder 1+2 in the GOG summer sale. Loved them back in the day only problem is the first game doesn't have the theme at the start that the Amiga version did.

I've been playing Postal 2 which is awesome and hilarious though the graphics are really dated. Just downloaded System Shock 2 as well since I've heard its a major classic.
