Game Nostalgia Thread
Since i've seen a few gaming threads today about games similar to games i used to play, i've decided to make a game nostalgia thread. I'm gonna start with Dominant Species here, a game where you play as an alien race and had to fight against humans who came to the planet for resources. and a Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominant_Species_(video_game)

Dark Reign http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Reign ... ure_of_WarI used to love it, but it automatically installs DirectX 7 or something like that, so you have to reinstall DirectX.

I still don't know to this day. Down plus punch. Sends 'em reeling, potentially into obstacles. Oncoming traffic, for instance. Up plus punch to do a back-hand slap, which is way better than a punch at knocking people off their bike. Between those, punches are pretty useless.

Re: Game Nostalgia Thread
Myst, the original. Never beat it and I was too young to truly appreciate, but I have some fond memories of that game. Recently found the disk again, but it crashes whenever I try to flip a switch, and is slow as hell.

Re: Game Nostalgia Thread
There was this space game I had like 10 or 11 years ago back when I had a Windows 98 machine. Some kind of 1st person space ship flying thing where you fly through space and fight some other space ships. I think the main menu screen was your mothership's loading dock.
