Re: Reinstalling old strategy games

wish i had dune and castles still. damn. i'm under the impression that some old games are download-able now right? is it safe? also how would i go about installing them without the hard components?

nice. i've actually been playing civ4 beyond the sword a bit lately, does anyone have the warlords expansion set to civ 4? was considering picking that up. i just rolled as the carthaginians, in a custom game and chose the romans as one of the opponets... hehe, should be a fun game.

Re: Reinstalling old strategy games

I have reinstalled the following:

-Starcraft and Brood war
-Civilization 4
-Sim City 4
-Warcraft 2, 3 and expansion sets
-Age of Empires 2
-Diablo 1 and 2 and expansion

Nice, I dloaded these the other day as well. I've been teaching my 11 year old brother how to play SC4. It's a classic and awesome game. Dloaded D2 and the expansion but got bored after a little bit.

Can't install these cos they only run on super old OS systems. lol.

-Civilization 2
-Sim City 2000
-Sim Tower
-Age of Empires 1
-Command and Conquer
-Caesar 1 2 and 3
-Pharoah

Ahhh the good old days. Sim Tower was awesome as was the original CC and Red Alert. Caeser was cool also but i think the Total War series kind of warped it.

You might want to give Dune 2000 a try or Castles 2 Siege and Conquest. They still run but require dos.

the only problem with these games is that you lost the ability to recognize the graphics featured in them.

I gave a go at Dune, first part, remember flying around in that bloody ornithopter,
but sadly playing it doesnt give the satisfaction which i expected and remembered, not to mention the PC speaker banging.

We are spoiled with today's hi-def graphics, ultra big plots, etc.

Very true. I think we all have certain child hood games we love no matter how much they suck.
