Heroes of Might & Magic 3 Complete Edition. The original disc + plastic case still sits on the desk waiting to be played once in a while.
I should say, though there is a wide choice of games, and I play new ones, of course (btw, recently I discovered https://www.rosecasinos.com and now I play mostly there), it is a pleasure to find an old game and replay it. Nostalgic for the good old days when I didn't have so many opportunities and choices, but was happy.

One of the best and hardest game to play. You gotta have a good knowledge of naval warfare in order to play it. The freaking game manual is as thick as a Bible.

A.D.O.M was the best dungeon game ever

Among my favorites, undoubtedly, it's GTA (Grand Theft Auto). Roaming the open-world cities, causing virtual chaos, and taking on missions were memorable experiences. Those games had a charm of their own. Now, while I occasionally indulge in some gaming, most of my leisure time is spent playing at an online casino 프리카지노. But the memories of classic PC games will always hold a special place in my gaming heart.

Back in the day when Apple Computer was just a small fart...

Wizardry series
Ultima series
AutoDuel
Castle Wolfenstein series (2D)
Choplifter

What about console games before Nintendo ES?
Atari 2600
Colecovision
Mattel Intellivision
In those days your family have to be pretty well off to afford.

Limpeh favorite game when working in PC shop at Funan in the early 90s. You need to have some indepth DOS knowledge back then to run the game. Anyone still remember about changing parameters in autoexec.bat and config.sys and releasing upper memory using QEMM ?

edlin config.sys
expanded memory vs extended memory.
don't remember what shit I typed in to make it work.
all coming through a sound blaster.

The cheemest game I've ever come across. A realistist naval warfare game where RTFM is absolutely compulsory. You really gotta know your military stuff in order to accomplish your mission.

never understood it as a kid.

Dafug?! What happened to Strip Poker and Strip Mahjong? You all don’t keh keh hor...

actually more fun to watch it being played well than to play it. I used to remember amusement centers in malaysia having them.

i’m still playing starcraft ii. i’ve shown some of my screenshots for no-limit unit games with combined and hybrid races: 32 motherships, 32 carriers, 32 tempests, 32 void rays, 32 observers, 32 ravens, 32 battlecruisers, 32 science vessels, 32 pirate ships, 32 liberators in 4 fleets of at least 69 ships each. unbeatable with any combined insane ai opponents, including 1 vs 6.9.

i'll never get my mind to wrap around 32 motherships. but then again, your sc2 screenshots almost appear impossible to manage.

anyway what do I know? at best pulling off a successful psi storm is already a big celebration 4 me.
