X-wing.

 

 

 

 

Ohhh yes! How could I forget  X-Wing and Tie Fighter (the latter being better IMO)   I found my floppy disk copies of both the other day while clearing out the garage.

 

 

 

Ahh, and....  Star Control 2!

I still love the style and "feel" of the original release games, take Pirates! for instance - the last version a number of years ago, is fun but just dosent have the feel of the original Amiga version (along with missing a couple of features from the Amiga version).

 

Syndicate is one game that was ruined with a "re-hash". Take an awesome isometric game, and turn it into a FPS with only a few nods to the original - it was still a good FPS, but not worthy of the name IMO.

I still play Hearts. Frequently. I have never enjoyed shooter games (except for Space Invaders).
