Zuhl3156 I just installed Crysis again just for kicks. It's still a fun game.
Awesome. I play it also and have a pretty good compilation of mods, textures, and Reshade going on. Took me a while to get all several mods working at once, but still needs a bit of tweaking on the sweet fx preset.

I've been playing BF2 with the Forgotten Hope 2 mod recently. It's a very well done WWII mod, detailed weapons and maps, Hurtgen Forest is my favorite one. Getting the itch to start playing some MW4 Mercs as well, I just have to get around to installing the performance patch because it currently runs at a locked 26 FPS which is no fun.

I still play Day of Defeat fairly often. The original, before the source engine. Mostly bots in the servers but there are a couple servers that still have real players.

I put arcanum in the other day about a week ago. While it did "play", there was fixes that had to be applied which were easily able to be found via Google. Was fun for a while. It's not as fun as neverwinter nights though

Went to a local retro game store and bought 10 games for around $40. Found the original Homeworld (it may be a European copy because it has a PEGI rating instead of the ESRB). It plays on Windows 7 with no issues and no compatibility mode needed. It is recommended to patch the game to 1.05. Here is a link if somebody is looking for a patch. http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/Patches-Updates-Games/HomeworldSeriesUpdates.html I also bought Delta Force 1, Delta Force 2 and Delta Force Land Warrior from Novalogic, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, FEAR 2, Half Life 2, Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear (and the mission pack Urban Operations), Rainbow Six: Covert Ops Essentials and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon. The PC games are $3.95 but they had a buy 2 get 1 free sale :D

Those games are ancient. You must have been in diapers when they came out.

Have you tried running a virtual machine in Windows 10? I have Windows XP running in Oracle Virtual Box (on Windows 7) and it runs some of my older games fine. Some don't work (I'm unable to install them or the controls won't work properly).

ebay friends, old OEM computers going to a scrap heap. Honestly to save time go look for an old Optiplex 745/755 thats being retired, they sell for right around 40 around me, throw in a video card, they have a Windows XP license on the box usually and your all set, of course your limited to a single slot card. Or go all out and talk to the folks over at vogons, they will get you set on the right track, but be warned you will end up with more stuff than you know what to do with lol.
