Someone else that played America’s Army!

I loved that game, even with all its faults. I still remember those maps fondly. I haven’t found another game that quite scratches that slow-paced strategic shooter itch. (But then, I hardly ever play multiplayer games these days anyway.)

The bridge map was awesome, and the pipeline map was fun AF too.

FUCK THE SPECIAL FORCES TRAINING WHERE Y9U HAD TO CRAWL PAST THE SNIPER TOWERS THAT SHIT STILL GIVES ME NIGHTMARES

Red Alert, Half-Life, Arcanum, EverQuest, Gex, GoldenEye 007, Sam ‘n’ Max, Donky Kong Country (all 3), Final Fantasy 7 and 8.

Also liked a lot of HL mods like CS and DoD. Oh, and that cool SRC one where you play as aliens vs humans and evolve…

Edit: Tribes. And C&C.Generals…and Nox.

Are you able to get Arcanum to run on Windows 10+ or Linux? My nostalgia sense wants to do another playthrough or 10 but every time I try it just … won’t work.

I got it on Steam if that helps. There usually isn’t comparability issues released on there and anything from XP to 11 seems fine. No mention of Linux.

Civilization (1/2/3 all sort of blend together for me), Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Magic Carpet, Half-Life, Hexen, Team Fortress/Quake, Duke Nukem3D, Warcraft/Starcraft, Diablo, C&C, and so many others that remind of being at home on my Dad’s then-cutting edge computer, before my Dad died, before I graduated school and had my own kids, before my parent’s divorced, before everything got worse than it was, life was good just hanging out and playing games. The games may be “better” now, but I’d give anything to go back to the 90s/00s all over again.

Star Control I and II

Medieval II Total War (except that diplomacy was a joke)

Civ III was great, but Alpha Centauri may have been the best 4x game ever.

What grinds my gears about Medieval II is how every general gets a ton of battle dread pretty much no matter what
