I haven't installed Windows on another partition yet, so I can currently only play games on Linux. I am surprised that Insurgency works quite well on Linux (if the servers allow it).

But I am planning to play some games on Windows again soon. I used to play Rising Storm 2, Squad, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Age of Empires II and IV, Starcraft II but also some indie games like Crypt of the Necrodancer or Darkest Dungeon.

I am also very interested in DCS but it has a quite steep learning curve and I am not sure I want to put that much time (and money) into a game.

Any games in this list you would be interested in watching? Or any other games not on this list?

I heard good stuff about the Diablo series but I never really got into MMORPGs because of all the grind so not sure I'll ever play it. I am more into shooters and strategy.

I totally forgot my favorite game of all times, lol: Titanfall II

It would be fun to see a lot of the vintage games. From MSdos and stuff. Maybe emulators? Not sure if you can stream that kind of stuff?

I think the oldest game I have is Crash Bandicoot I-III on an emulator somewhere I believe.

But I think with vintage you mean like really old games you would play in an arcade?

Right. I am not sure your age, but older games. When I was younger, diablo and starcraft came out. So that shows how old I am. Everything the same or older is now considered vintage, right?

I also play DUSK sometimes which is a bit like a modern version of Quake that still feels like Quake. Does that sound interesting?

Everything the same or older is now considered vintage, right?

Mhh, good question. I would consider vintage any games that came out and peaked before I was born.

Oh man, the amount of fun I had playing starcraft with appletalk. It allowed you to play on one disk, and two computers. So much world building and strategy.

It allowed you to play on one disk, and two computers.

Oh, I remember these times :)

That was also possible with AoE2 I believe.

And nanosaur. Do you remember that dinosaur game?

There was also a race game on the old iMacs with the old 9.2 Mac OSes. Those machines were heavily used in graphics houses for making catalogs, magazines and such.

I think a lot of those games would be on 3.5 floppies. I have only one machine active that will take floppies, now-a-days. I have several in boxes that take them.

I have a commodore 65 that has a few games on it. I haven’t played it in a long time, though. I keep it in its box. I also have games for the Amiga 1000 and Amiga 3000, but they are currently boxed up, too. They had some really good video n the games.
