a few years ago when I was working in an office, equipped with P3 512Mb RAM "power plant", i had opportunity to replay some of my old favourites like

dune2000, another world, alone in the dark, sherlock, bomber (tank wars 1st), manic miner, prehistorik, rollcage stage2, wipeout, elastomania, prince, and even more...

that was good fun! :D

What are some of those older games that you just get the urge to play from time to time? And by older, I mean at least 5 years old.

For me, the top five have to be:

1.) Star Trek the Next Generation - A Final Unity(Saddly, it is currently unplayable on any of my systems due to the 64-bit OSes.)
2.) Evil Genius
3.) RailRoad Tycoon Deluxe(Totally free now!!!)
4.) Command and Conquer Red Alert 2(Deezire Mod makes it awesome fun.)
5.) Star Trek Armada 2

+1!! Do you ever play Bridge Commander? I still pick that one up once in a while, love that game.
