The holy Splinter Cell Trilogy (Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory) still works in W7 without any trouble.

Thank god they didn't make any more games than that. It would have been a disaster to the series.

One of the first PC games I remember playing almost constantly was Novalogic's Delta Force 2. Loved it.

I remember it came with a demo of Tachyon: The Fringe, which I managed to get my hands on only the other month through Steam.

I think the first game I had was called something like Starquest: Trade Routes of the Nebula. It came on two 3.5" floppy disks. Some of the critters that lived in the nebula were pretty hard to trade with, as they'd rather shoot my spaceship until it exploded. And the fuel for my spaceship turned out to be an ancient intelligence that lived on a geological timescale. Sucked to be them.

I just picked up the Dungeons and Dragons anthology from gamersgate. I've had fun playing Baldur's Gate II right now, modded for W7 and high-res monitors.

Looking forward to playing through these classics.

I use DOSBox to boot up the old DOS games I learned with for my 3 year old. He seems to like them so far.

Re: Old PC games that still work

Goodoldgames.com has a great selection of classics that have been updated (mostly) for newer operating systems. Due to design limitations in the original program architecture the resolutions can't be updated though, so be prepared to play some 640x480 if there are no mods available.

I just recently got my hands on Disciples: Sacred Lands for $.99
