Steamdeck: Such a great way to game at home or on the go, and I have access to a ton of games via my account

N64 controller:

That thing was such a comfortable controller.

Not so Favorites:

Switch controllers:

Hopefully, they will fix them for the second version because the drift is unbearable at times. I bought kits to fix them, but come on man

Dreamcast.

Not so much it was a bad system, Sega just abandoned it like hot potato. The controllers sucked though from what I remember. Really bulky.

This will probably get buried but I got a few of em for ya.

Syndicate Wars: Game was mind blowing for the time it was released.

Black and White 1/2: I know, more Peter Molyneaux. Everything else has been mentioned.

Jade Cocoon 1: Not 2. One was extremely unique and you won’t find another game like it. It’s the coolest monster merging game I’ve seen and has an endless dungeon.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup: It’s old but not old. Went open source and has been developed over some time by the community. It’s much more newbie friendly these days.

Warlords Battlecry 3: Holy cow the races, persistent hero progression in an RTS. It’s age shows though.

That’s all I can pull of the top of my head right now that I haven’t seen mentioned, though I didn’t skim every single comment.

Edit: Just remembered Tyrian existed. Oldschool Schmup that had a good SP campaign and multiplayer.

olafurp,

Is Black and White still in copyright hell?

InAbsentia,

Seems like it.

nemno,

Mmm syndicate wars.

Alright lots of recommendations in here, some that are making me question how old I am now since some of these don’t strike me as old enough to require a recommendation but I’ll just suggest one as a bit of a dark horse.

Tyrian 2000, the classic PC Shmup of a time long gone. Oh and I guess Jazz Jackrabbit cause that soundtrack is funky.

PraiseTheSoup,

+1 for Jazz Jackrabbit

Favorites:

  • Steam Deck. I haven’t been this excited for a console since the original Xbox. I play a lot of games that I would otherwise avoid on my gaming rig, and it’s excellent for traveling.
  • Steam Controller. This one was worth the effort to get used to, and it introduced me to gyro controls and paddle buttons. Also, it was integral to the Steam Deck’s control scheme design.

Least favorites:

  • Wii. There were a few good games, but the controllers sucked ass. GameCube was better.
  • Game Gear. Screen was a smudge-fest. Any kind of motion was super hard to see.
  • Gen 1 Xbox controller. That thing was massive and awkward.

Dishonorable mention. One of those “99 in 1” things with the weird LCD. Really shit dpad, the thing didn’t even have tetris

I’ll recommend games to younger gamers but the graphics look like shit compared to today’s games.

Unreal

Unreal Tournament (if you can find others to play with you)

Duke Nukem 3D

Sid Meyer’s Civilization (the original one put out by Microprose. No DLC. Just one complete game.)

Doom

Quake

Might & Magic (yes there is no “Heroes” in the title)

Baldur’s Gate (The very first one)

King’s Quest

Simon the Sorcerer

MDK (Murder Death Kill)

Orcs vs Humans (when Blizzard were not a corrupt asshole of a company)

Poop,

MDK was hilarious and a great game too. I have played it recently and thought it still held up pretty well!

Omg that’s me in a few months, I was not ready for that

    Not that old, but Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004).

    I have not played that many games, but I have yet to find such an amazing action adventure combat mechanics.

    There is a trailer on Youtube that does the system justice - everything can be done in-game, at your will, and it’s not even that hard. Context matters, and it’s so rewarding chaining different combos to plow through them like butter.

    Those basic enemies are meant to be fucked up in every possible way, the environments often provide ample varieties of opportunities.

    Then there are stronger enemies and bosses, which don’t let you mop them around, so you have to fight them face to face.

    The game itself is decent, there are some bad platforming parts, but thanks to time rewind they can be beaten.

    The biggest issue is very low native resolution, and the game kept crashing on my Steam Deck. I will try it again, because I want to relive that combat again.

    PraiseTheSoup,

    All three Prince of Persia games in this trilogy: The Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and The Two Thrones are some of my fondest memories with my original Xbox. Amazing games and I finished all three, but I’ve never been able to get into another PoP title since.

    edit: a word

    msage, (edited )

    I installed Two Thrones, saw the speed kill, instantly removed the game.

    Was it comparable to WW?

    PraiseTheSoup,

    I can’t really say as I played these games around launch nearly 20 years ago and don’t remember much.
