I remember trying to set up a syndicate multiplayer game once. It took us quite some time to have this game running and suddenly we weren’t into playing multiplayer syndicate anymore. That was strange and maybe 10 years ago. I liked syndicate singleplayer though. This game was really fantastic – the demo hooked me ;)

Lots of great choices here already mentioned, but most of them are still so abundant out there on ebay that they do not need to preserved in a museum just yet.

I demand you seek a copy of either Bloodstone or Ambush at Sorinor, the final games of the underdog developer that was Mindscape. Ambush had going for it the fact that it was the sequel to one of the first RTS, Siege, and replaced the latter’s eponymous but repetitive conflicts with more various and dynamic ambushes. AND it’s not on the list of the 250 most popular DOS games at MobyGames, which certainly makes it worth preserving by itself.

My problem with steam is having to install the games where IT wants them, rather than where YOU want them. I like to have control over where things live on my computer.

Unless that has changed, which I doubt, it’ll still annoy me intensely.

The PC version of Crammond’s F1GP came out in early 1993.

such a shame that it was amiga and console only..
james pond 3 was released in 1993 and was a cracking example of a platformer..

I wasted too many hours on that game.

Just wait for 1994 and 1995 to come along, I have some class titles to mention for those years :D

Steam has improved a lot since the HL2 release, I personally think it’s a nice platform for PC gaming.

Only one gripe with it, and that’s the requirement to have steam on while playing. But hey, I guess that’s better that having to put the game CD/DVD in all the time, or resort to nocd cracks…

Ah, fair enough. I seem to be almost alone among PC gamers in having a steam alergy, due to bad experiences back in the HL2 launch days.
