Retro PC Revival (and now I sound like an idiot :D)

 

"I've got a fever. And the only prescription...is old PC games."

So lately, I've been trying to play through my backlog of might-as-well-be-ancient PC games. I've accumulated quite a collection between retail, Steam, and GoG. Here is a list of the games I am currently playing and will be playing in the coming weeks;

Arcanum

Freespace

Freespace 2

No On Lives Forever

No On Lives Forever 2

Gabriel Knight

Red Faction

Beyond Good and Evil

Also, don't mind the opening line. It's intentionally dumb.

Arcanum and the Gabriel Knight series are among my favorite games of all time.  Gabriel Knight can be awfully frustrating at times, but stick with it - the writing is fantastic.

Old but very, very good games. I've never managed to get NOLF 2 working properly on my PC though. Think it could be my PC that's causing it. How does it run on yours?

It runs well, though I need to tweak the DirectX Diagnostic Tool for the sound.

Well at least it runs before it decides to dropkick you in the face when you've jsut about achieved something.

You play Arcanum yet?  I hear there are tons of problems with it despite all the things it does right.  I have Freespace 1 and 2 but haven't yet played them (bought them on Dave Snider's own recommendation--  hope he appreciates that), and have played Beyond Good and Evil on the 'Cube (and now bought the PC version for like, 3 dollars).
 
Good to see another retro appreciator here :)
