favourite classic (earlier than 1998) pc games

1998 - Half-Life 1 released, still among my top favorites. (This was the game that inspired me to pursue game development as a career choice. About to transfer to Devry to finish up with a bachelors."

After that would have to be the Duke Nukem series. -- I enjoyed both the 3D and 2D versions very well.

ooh, ooh, ooh, Almost forgot about Star Wars: Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. Was a great game I really enjoyed from 1998.

Before I got a job, there weren't many pc games I got to play, primarily my parents are money conscious, so I'd only get to play games my father had enjoyed. Anytime before 2001 was a hard time for me to get games.

Nobody likes games where you can't look up.

Hexen Heretic Tyrian 2000 and Warcraft 2 were er.. are the best.

Chainsaws are more epic.

Diablo, Warcraft II, Fallout, SIN, Wolfenstein <3.
Red Alert was cool too.

Hmm, that's a tough decission, I would Honesty have to r00t for Runescape 1, it was about early 1990s (I do not know exact date).

LOL I forgot...... King's Quest online. It was the first MMORPG I ever played (1993). I miss the Sierra Online Gaming Network.

Early 1990's? You are way off.
1) In the early 90's, most games that where even similar to mmo gaming where text based or pay by the hour.
2) Java, which is Runescape's coding, wasn't released until 1995; even so, the Java 3D API was'n released untill years later.

Also, Runescape wasn't available to the public untill 2001. [Source]

Warcraft 2
Total Annihilation
Fallout
Red Alert
Age of Empires

Atomic Bomberman (1997)

Some Unreal Tournament game.

The 7th Guest looked interesting, but I didn't try it.

Scorched Earth

Chrono Trigger.
