Which Classic Computer Games should I play?
madcow:
I had fond memories of the first dungeon keeper, never played the second one though. A game of dwarfs looks like it has potential as a dungeon keeper-esque follow up. While unfortunately you're not a villain, it looks like there's potential. Dungeon keeper meets dwarf fortress (looks more on the DF than DK side) with a UI that's actually usable.
If we're going to be on the topic of old-school awesome games worth playing. X-com is pretty amazing, but I think most people know about that one, its still worth bringing up.

Forget to mention Myst and Riven, and of particular interest, should I play Real Myst over Myst?

Myst is one of my favorite game series ever. I've recently been playing through Uru again and have Riven installed but it's buggy on my machine, not sure why. Myst V was also good, I have that one in my game stack as well. The third one I never played at all, it's called Revelations or something isn't it?
madcow:
As for the myst series. I really liked the Journeyman Project (1 and 2, never played the third), it was a myst-like game with time travel and killer robots :D. The same style of game. Its much easier though to be fair, though you could actually die and you can't simply wander around to enjoy the scenery - though the gameplay and story felt more focused.

One of the early posts mentioned freespace 2. In case anyone is interested, the source code was released a few years ago and the engine was rewritten and all new graphics created for it. Check out the website below. As long as you have a legal copy of the game, you download the new engine and graphics packs and you have a modern game. They've even redone the entire freespace 1 game to use the new engine as well. (It's all legal btw)
