"Early years" *posts pictures of CDs*
JayTheSaltLord
"The early years"? Y'all realise there were pc games in the late 70s, long before any of those were released, yeah?
ChildeRoland82
Phantasmagoria, Duke Nukem 3D, Doom II, Descent, Amazon

I miss windows 95

That battleship game was the shit. Had the OG regular version and a whole RTS naval combat version.

RCT 1 and 2 are masterpieces. I recommend Open RCT2 for anyone looking to play them today.

Need for Speed: High Stakes (from 1999) is still my favourite racing game of all time. Still crack out the racing wheel and pedals annually.
CrunkArt
Myst was the first game I loved to explore and really solidified my love of those games. Also gotta bring up Shivers 1+2 as well.

Man, I loved riven
serenityfast
I love that there's a bad ending in Riven like literally 5 clicks away.
CaptDango
Really sad they didn’t uprez it in the 25th Anniversary update they released :(

I don't upvote often but seeing that rollercoaster tycoon 1 disk made me very nostalgic

Virtual Cop anyone?

Received a lot of these with the 1st family computer. Always cheated in Axis & Allies by rolling for bonuses and then restarting the turn
Notthatkindofdoctorbutclose
You can do that? I am so dusting off my old Pentium III
angryflashlight
Wish I knew that back then.
iamkarlpilkington
I seriously hope these games aren't considered the early years of PC gaming or I am getting fucking old
Analgesia
Castle of the Winds is public domain. How old do you feel now?
HoldingAccount
There were lots of good games over 10 years before these like Leisure Suit Larry (87), Prince of Persia (89), King's Quest (83).
IamHereForTheComments
are the numbers indicating how old the people are now who played this games

I still get the urge to play Heroes of Might and Magic III once in a while. It's still one of my favorite games.
Kavoral
The AI is so bad in the campaign though, any way to fix this?
BlazeMarshall
I played 2 at a friend's house a couple times, ended up acquiring it myself. Could never get into 3.
MEGAnurse
I still play it occasionally! Good game
transientmind
I sometimes still listen to the soundtrack. That and HOMM2. You could put them in a CD player and skip track 1... I went to sleep to those.
nellietta
I have like 1500 hrs on steam in Heroes. It's awesome

i've burned at least a couple hundred hours in that game. as soon as you started seeing the computer riding in, the griffons came out.
angryflashlight
What race was your favorite? I usually played rampart or castle.
Emjayen
Tower or Rampart.
pizzapartyhard
I forget what it was, but the elemental one or the necromancer.

Dungeon
J4ckR4nd0m
I liked conflux and rampart the most.
Holdshift2countercaps
Dungeon here, black dragons and Armageddon spell.

Nothing that came on a CD counts as "early years" for PC gaming. 5.25" floppy or gtfo

My favorite game to play on my first PC was Red Baron. My first video game was Pong. My favorite console as a child was Coleco Vision.

Rollercoaster tycoon expansion pack, how DLCs started
Green223
I think Wing Commander 1 had the first video game expansion pack so you can thank Chris Roberts... funny how that worked out.
JessieJanson
To be fair, the games were vary complete. you didn't need the expansion, it just unlocked new themes and a few new rides&path blocking signs
clevermotherfucker
I loved the timrline book & movie, i had no idea there was a game!
angryflashlight
The game was cool for its time. It's kinda similar to first person Morrowind.
MisterMaurice
Ah, RollerCoaster Tycoon. A magnificent game. A bundle of fun. A pyramid of perfection.
Nerdextrordinaire
I had a bunch of parks. One was specifically designed to kill as many patrons as possible.
MisterMaurice
I think the last time I played a Park was Arid Heights in the 2nd Expansion. But good lord it was hard to not go below 700 PR.
LondonerBoy
Is Theme Park manager a real job? Why did I never pursue it as a career?
boberan
Because of all the people you murdered
Monkeyfighter
Theme Hospital was my jam
magicman89
If you like RCT you should check out Parkitect. As someone taking classes in theme park management, yes the job exists but it's not common
Meloncov
There's no one person who does everything you do in Roller Coaster Tycoon. It's a thousand different jobs, most not that exciting.
Meloncov
Even if you're in a creative design job, you're spending years nitpicking the details of a single attraction.
ScarecrowSticks
Because the park would most likely become a death trap
LondonerBoy
True, and I wouldn't be allowed to deliberately design it that way.
