Is there a game that you wish you could play again, but you can’t anymore because it doesn’t run on modern systems or the servers shut down? What do you miss about it?

    CP/M - Adventure - Colossal cave, 550 pt version, along with my maps I used to have. I never did complete the game, Also wouldn’t hate playing some Targ, or Star Trek. I’m sure it wouldn’t be the same to me compared to when i was in my single digits, but still

    C64 - The EA games of old, Mail Order Monsters, Seven Cities of Gold, M.U.L.E. Archon, Racing Destruction Set, etc. I know there are emulators and even re-release/remakes in the case of M.U.L.E. and SCoG, but it just doesn’t feel the same. I think again nostalgia takes over. I could go on with C64 games, Ultima IV, Summer Games, Aztec, Space Taxi, Wizard, the list really does go on.

    PC - Funny enough almost every game I immediately think of I’ve found a way to play online or they’re on GOG or remastered - Planecape Torment, Rick Dangerous, Total Annihilation ,Wing Commander, how I’d love for a new Wing Commander type game that doesn’t over-promise/under-deliver.

    Xbox - Gladius, dunno why, there are tons of turn based games done better. I think it’s part nostalgia.

    I think when it comes to games now, it’s more like - I miss the spare time to play the games with the friends I used to play them with. I try to find a game to play with my old roommate from time to time, but both of us cant stay up til all hours of the night. We just can’t bounce back from being up late and have to work in the morning on weekdays, and errands/family obligations on the weekends.
