Playing old PC games from 90s-00s

In last year or so I started to re-play my old PC games from the time when I was a kid.
It is so nice to be able to play them on current hardware. There are some compatiblilty issues, but some of them are fine.

Played so far:

-The Thing Remastered
-Return to Castle Wolfenstein
-Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 1
-Project IGI 1
-Project IGI 2
-Heretic
-Heroes of Might and Magic II

phinix:
Today I just finished Project IGI 2 - great memories:)

another reason why I have been supporting GoG more - thinking of firing up Legacy of Kain 1 and 2

lumicore:
GoG has honestly become the best way to preserve old PC gaming. Half the battle now is just getting those old games to launch properly on modern hardware without spending 2 hours patching stuff.

Funny enough, while a lot of AAA gaming feels creatively stuck lately, the online casino space somehow keeps evolving nonstop. I was reading through some casino review sites recently and you can immediately see where the money is going now. Polished UI, smooth platforms, huge marketing pushes, detailed bonus systems and constant updates. You can check the details at the link yourself and see exactly what I mean. At this point it sometimes feels like casino platforms get more technical optimization and UX attention than actual PC games do.

Still having fun with a lot of games from my teenage years...

- Streetfighter Apha 3
- Streerfighter III 3rd Strike
- King of Fighters 98 and XIII
- Shadow Warrior (Classic Redux)
- Blood (Fresh Supply)
- Doom (GZDoom + BrutalDoom)
- Crusader - No Remorse (...and No Regret)
- Unreal Tournament 2004 (recently made free)

No looong startup times, no looong intros, no looong tutorials, no looong cutsceenes... just quick and simple fun!
