My list of good old games I have played recently that still hold up

LoZ: LttP (it will probably never not be good)

DKC2 (the graphics are dated and limited viewing scope for a platformer seems odd, but solid challenge and lots of secrets)

Lufia II (the puzzles are nice and the grinding isn't any worse than you'll find in current jrpgs anyway, plus it has a dungeon crawl side game built into it, which is neat)

That's not a chameleon, it's Bomberman with a blue head.


The sequel has a chameleon, but I don't think there are ants in it and it's hard as poo poo.

Never played Morrowind before the steam sale. It's alright.

Also, Homeworld and Homeworld 2 are fantastic. +1 to that suggestion.

The original Halo is a good game.

Since we're on shooters, Goldeneye on N64!

Planescape Torment is a good game.

Earthbound

A Boy and His Blob

Day of the Tentacle

in closing:
The original Mario Kart.

am2r's still a demo but it's pretty far along honestly. i'd say he's about 70% done with it, content wise.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
Homeworld is tits. No 3d space rts has captured my obsession quite like that since. HW2 made some lovely changes but I still enjoyed it. Suggestions for anything that comes close to capturing that homeworld magic is welcome
