Warlords. Favorite multiplayer game on the atari, still fun! Especially if you have 4 paddle controllers.

Zork I, text adventures are worth a replay every now and then when I'm nostolgic about my Commodore 64

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon. Still fun decades later, but I miss playing it on my 386

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, I played this on my original xbox and still go back now and then to play.

Probably the game that has aged the best (imo) is original shareware doom. There's a reason it's been ported everywhere. Takes me back to lan parties

narcissism is a hell of a drug, son.
still, i see no mentions of SWAT4 and it's expansion at all, the tactical stuff in that game aged just fine and there is a "spiritual successor" in development that is teased to release soon, being Ready or Not. the thing is that it draws many inspirations from R6 with SWAT4, which is kind of funny if you notice because SWAT 2 was a RTS game that decided to go full rainbowsix route with the third and fourth installations while at the time rainbowsix went the CODish cover route, seeing the trailers and whatnot kind of put me off from that game, siege and swat 4 just don't jell at all, then again it's not available in my region so i think it doesn't matter? i mean the pirate route always worked anyway and by some retarded rule faggots use, you must play the game in order to bash it and even so they might still cope by calling your criticism not valid...

i member seeing a picture of a UI patch that looked like R6's UI minus the player thingy, and then there was a alpha gameplay test to some dudes where they went more for a mix:

can they mix stuff? sure. will it work? not really because both games are pretty much opposites, reference of the games, in 2005 SWAT4 launched and iron wrath too:
then we go back to the OG games in 1998~1999 because R6 Collector's Edition with the expansions was released in 2000:

a bit of extra but SWAT series are older than R6 by three years, R6's debuted on 1998 while police quest 1 launched on 1995 and i'm super duper mcfucking glad that people aren't autistic at all about these two games like people are with ARMA and Ghost Recon.
a point and click with FMV's, HAHAHAHA that is funny.

SWAT 1 fucking sucked while the previous Police Quest games were fun.

There was a game released before Rainbow Six that no one talks about anymore. SpecOps[DID NOT AGE WELL!]. I remember it being a huge hit at the time. It was the first of a new genre of more hardcore tactical shooters set in the real world, like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon but they weren't released yet.

Preview from 1997.

Snippets of interest:
"SpecOps is a first-person shooter* that is more a ground forces sim than arcade-style shooter. /../ The game's five missions are realistic and include hostage rescues and drug raids. What players won't find in SpecOps, and this is disconcerting to the wounded, are potions of healing around every corner." - realism in a shooter was actually a bewildering concept back then, everyone was trying to be the new Doom, Quake or Duke.

"The idea of taking the role of a special forces soldier seems so obvious, it's surprising that it hasn't been done before"

* nope, it became third person and they ditched the PS1 version

Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Nostalgia aside, there's a reason Sonic Mania went back to that style instead of sticking with Sonic 4's.

Also just about any Kirby game because those are really hard to fuck up.
 
The graphics in GTA IV are definitely dated with the poo tint, but the amount of detail in the world + general simulation systems + the general map design still holds out well to this day.

Perfect encapsulation of 2008 NYC, IMO.

No one's going to forget this version of Liberty City, and any return to the locale (in the next 20 years) will likely use this version as a base.
