Too many console tags. What’s your favorite retro PC game? Remember, to qualify as retro it needs to run natively on Windows 98 or earlier. Pic related is my favorite, I always enjoyed tycoon games. Roller coaster tycoon 2 is a close second place.

Couple of things, one, no it's not, you're just stirring shit up (or trying to) by mentioning Trump, two, does this work on Windows 10? I hear it's pretty awful but might try to play it ironically.

Probably Civ 2 or MOO 2 if I had to choose some games to take with me on a remote island...I don't know. I have played so much, it's hard to pick real favorites.

I love Deus Ex. I started to look into gubmint conspiracies after that. I_m a fan of Alex Jones. It's all real.

Don't play many PC games, but, Rollercoster Tycoon 1 and 2. Even though 3 is pretty good too, it does count since it can run on Windows 98 as well.

Around the time it was released the hype around shit like aliens and secret government programs was huge. The X-Files had been running for years when it came out.

I like games with a focus on exploration so System Shock 1 and Thief fan missions are what I have been playing lately. Bought Crusader No Remorse off of GOG a couple months ago and have been enjoying that too.

It clearly is retro, because it's for Windows 95/98.

This game, however, while it runs on Windows 98, was released for Windows xp - in its original release, not a later port. Therefore, it's better categorized as an xp game, not a 98 game.
