Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?

* Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

I'll start with mine.

(in no particular order)

#SimFarm

It seems easier to play than #SimCity, but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.

#Empire / #EmpireClassic (DOS version specifically).

If I am not mistaken, before there was the #Civilization franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is #EmpireDeluxe available on #Steam, but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.

#CarrierCommand

A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.

Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM

Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.

#Hyperspeed / #Lightspeed (DOS)

Years before the era of #EVEonline came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.

#StarControl / #StarControl2 (DOS)

I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.

You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.

Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).

So, how about you?

I don't exactly know how far back we're talking 20th Century (I'm dumb as hell), but I've got a few games I'd love to play again:

Burnout 3 Takedown - introduced slamming rivals into walls, cars, anything, and fuels my inner road rage. Gran Turismo 1 - ignited a giant fire in me for a love of race cars and cool montages of said cars racing. Mario Party Nintendo 64 - a game where my family would gather and we'd have the best fun ever, before we grew up....

Pretty much it for now....

Elite Beat Agents.

The game came out for the Nintendo DS, and made strong use of the touchscreen. While emulators and even Osu provide other options for playing, even touchscreens can't mimic the feel of hitting beats with a stylus. I even feel moderately the same way about games like Trauma Center, another good DS classic based on performing fantastical surgery.
