Might be a bit long, but these games I'd gladly pay for again as most no longer run in Vista and/or I no longer have the discs, etc, for them
Missionforce: Cyberstorm 1
Like mechs? Like turn based tactical strategy games with resource management with mechs AND their pilots? Like explosions? Like customizing your mechs from the ground up?
This game's for you. ;-) (But not 2, Sierra Sierra'd it.)
Full Throttle
No adventure game lover should miss this one. Great humor, great soundtrack, fluid animation, lots of attitude.
Syndicate
How could you not?
STRIFE
Such an underrated game. Yeah, they used the DOOM engine, but graphics ain't everything, am I right?
Privateer 2
You've got all the Wing Commanders except Prophecy, you've got Armada and the first game, time to round that collection out.
Shivers
Yes, the "demon" animations just about killed all the suspense and genuine creepiness that the atmosphere and story conveyed, but you gotta admit, this game probably made you jumpy after playing it at night with the lights off.
Crimsonlands
Great mindless shooter.
Starflight
This game was a far more serious version of Star Control and both games' influence can still be seen in games like the first Mass Effect to this day. Part rpg, part exploration and trading sim, part combat, it was a little bit of everything in a massive universe that made you keep a physical map on hand to remember where the alien races, etc, were.
Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen
Great game and one I played for many hours.
The Hardball series
Great series of baseball games and I could see there being a market for this, considering Accolade no longer exists AND due to the physical DRM in the form of codewheels, the abandonware option really doesn't exist here either, as you'd be dealing with cracked versions and the like. =\
Age of Empires Gold
Would LOVE to play this again without the Ebay/Amazon option.
Blade Runner
I'm missing ONE disc from the CD copy I bought. ONE. :(
Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns + expansion
I literally spent DAYS playing this game, getting my heroes and leaders up to max levels, messing around, playing multiplayer. Would love to see this game on here, considering Strategy First allowed Disciples. ;-)
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl + Clear Sky
Would also love to see this game here.
Warlords series
You've got Battlecry, Age of Wonders, HoMM, King's Bounty? Why not one of the originators of the genre?
I'm sure I'll think of more later, kick myself and come back to add to the thread. :3
