Still got Dosbox and a bunch of classics like Wing Commander, The Incredible Machine and Space/King's Quest.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

TrackMania United quite literally Forever Kinda wish there would be some effort for a de compilation or custom engine for linux but for that its probably too modern to be feasible.
My latest round is Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Railroad Tycoon II, Plants vs. Zombies, and a bit of TF2.
We still bust out the GameCube to play MarioKart Double Dash.
Morrowind, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Saints Row 2, GTA San Andreas, Ultima, beside few indies, Pragmata and Fallout, this and retro console games are my main playthroughs
Dwarf fortress is around 20 years old so that checks
All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.
Ain't no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that's the nostalgia talking...
What about playing them on the original consoles? I've got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven't tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.
Original console, in most cases, is probably gonna be the better option IMO. But due to the rising cost of everything, games/consoles included, emulation is better from a purely price saving standpoint. I am lucky enough to have so many consoles, but I still emulate or use console softmods because I can't afford every game I want.
No disagreement there, I only responded because of the "ain't no other way" in your OP.
I remember spending hours watching my friends play that game.
I remembered my family having the ps1 version, but my brother said I was wrong because we apparently had the n64 version.
Either way, was definitely a defining game of my early childhood. Such a fun game. I was lucky enough to find it at a game store where I live. It was for some reason tucked away with the ps1 games and somehow just barely under $20USD before tax! A steal, if you ask me.
Retro game prices have been skyrocketing too. Everything's kinda fucked.
Just soft mod your console or get a flash cart and sail the high seas.
You've convinced me to play God of war for the thousandth time.
I'm still playing Rimworld
Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the "Game of the Year Platinum Super Edition" to go on sale. It works every time!
Same. Got the base Cyberpunk 2077 game for $18. And then got the dlc for $18. Best $36 I've spent on a game in a long time.
Even if it's just 10-15, Zomboid, Oxygen Not Included, Factorio, Isaac, and Risk of Rain, are thousands of possible fun hours, even without rotation
Skyrim, Fallout NV, Diablo II, modded to fuck Dungeon Keeper, Age Of Empires II, so many more. I’m set for life
How do you mod dungeon keeper
Modded to What?
Sounds dope, though. Enjoy your peace, king
I know nothing of the Diablo 2 modding scene but there better be a sex mod.
There's sex mods for Rimworld so I wouldn't be surprised.
That's incredibly expected from Rimworld. Hell the base mechanics encourage colonists pairing up.
Any old mmo enjoyers with a game with an active community to link a fella? Was a fiend for RF online back in the day it was sci-fantasy before I knew what sci fantasy was haha!
Clan Lord
I played it during the beta way back in ‘97(?) but couldn’t continue when it went to a monthly subscription due to being a teen. I found out it was still going 3 years ago and became re-addicted.
Now a character is $15USD and no money is asked for after that. No micro-transactions or nuthin’.
The graphics maintain the ‘97 2D top-down style with chat bubbles, but the game still gets monthly updates.

You can log in for free but no progress will be saved and you don’t get to choose your name or anything cool.
The community is super friendly and helpful and some players have been playing since the start. It’s deceptively deep and there’s wikis to help you figure out what’s going on, but I don’t want to overload you with links right now.
There’s a discord too, but I’d rather you ask for it in-game to avoid and non-clanners causing trouble
Star Reach is a new one that came out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1925650/Stars_Reach/
Monsters & Memories: https://monstersandmemories.com/
If a new take on an old MMO is interesting, maybe look up Everquest Legends. It's basically an oldschool MMO combined with a massive power fantasy. It has problems (many, many problems), but it's still a pretty good time.
Its been a hot minute since I played, but city of heros is a fun one.
UT2004 still bops. If I suddenly stopped being able to buy new games, that one would keep me entertained for at least another decade.
That's me except with UT 1999! As long as the community servers are still there, I'm good.
Doom at over 30 years here, what what
Lol, Oblivion ftw
Oblivions not 20 years old lol
... Oh. Oh no.
Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls, imo.
Oblivion just came out dude
Oblivion "remastered" just came out. OG Oblivion was released 20 years ago.
I've heard others say the same
Rocket league and factorio scratch my itches
Playing Evil Genius as I read this.
