Funny you should mention this. I got really nostalgic recently, so I started playing games like Theme Hospital, Silent Hunter 3, Half-Life, Worms Armageddon, Railroad Tycoon 2 and plenty more else. Unfortunetly not everything is buyable or abandonware, so I still miss a few games from the old days.

Still, alot of fun playing old games again

There are quite a few older games that I would have still installed if they were compatable with my current newest computer sytems.

Just install the games in a virtual machine. Most older games work fine with XP, and I always keep a plain Windows XP VM ready, where I can install an old game. If you are runnung Windows Vista I especially recommend the latest version Sun's free VirtualBox - hardware acceleration (including 3d, something Microsoft's VirtualPC 2007 SP1 doesn't offer), and a wider range of supported guest systems (from DOS to Windows 7).

All you need is your old XP disk, then set it up once and use the created image as the base for your game installations. The best thing about it is that not only do your old games work fine, but they don't conflict with your normal system. If you have played a game for long enough, you simply delete the VM and you're done.

Hi all

I still play space invaders.

May build my self an Arcade box some time.

MAME is sweet. Just an old PC, a bit of carpentry and old style electronics.

Now there is retro for you.

Of course if I wanted to be really Retro I would create a version of Hunt the Mugwump; but I think that is way before the birth of most people here.

Kind Regards walker

Always loved the Thief series, always will

Play alot of old games, but most recently, Tropico and Age of Wonders saw a reinstall. Deus Ex has yet to have its annual playthough, but it will get it at some point.
