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)

1. #SimFarm

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

2. #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.

3. #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.

4. #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.

5. #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?
