The pile of games just keeps growing bigger and bigger as game developers produce new titles. Still, there are some titles that were produced back in the day that are worth playing today. In other words, there are some old games that are well worth your time. In that regard, here are a few such titles:
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Long before Anakin, Yoda, and Obi-wan, there was the Old Republic. The Sith were a force to be reckoned with back in those days and KOTOR will show you just how powerful they are. The game lets you create your character, give them a name and some special abilities. You’ll meet Carth Onasi, rescue Bastilla and meet lots of interesting characters along the way. You’ll even become a Jedi. However, you should make your choices carefully as they will affect how others treat you and how the game ends. Also, you’ll get to play Pazaak which is an interesting card game.
The thing about Pazaak is that it’s based on blackjack, a popular casino game. There are many blackjack variants and blackjack fans can enjoy them at many online casinos. Sites like novibet.co.uk offer these variants as well as other casino games like roulette, poker, baccarat and lots of slots. The main thing about enjoying casino games is to do so responsibly.
Half-Life 2
What KOTOR and Half-Life 2 share is the fact that they have a sci-fi theme. However, Half-Life 2 is a first-person shooter game that puts you in the role of Gordon Freeman again. A chilling wake-up call from the G man sets you on your path to destroy the Combine, an alien race that has taken over Earth. You’ll meet lots of interesting characters and will go over many levels filled with puzzles that need solving. It’s a pretty old game but it has a story that will keep you glued to your screen.
Rome: Total War
Unlike the previous two entries on this list, Rome: Total War is a strategy game. You take the role of an up and rising consul and take on various military and political tasks to make Rome a strong state, and then a strong empire. It’s a turn-based strategy that will polish your decision-making skills. You can command your army in every battle or let the game resolve the conflict for you.
Also, you’ll need to make important political decisions regarding the marriages of your sons and daughters, complete quests for the Senate, deal with revolts, taxes and much more. In short, Rome: Total War is the ideal strategy game for any strategy fan since it doesn’t just make you a military commander that goes to conquer territories, but a politician, diplomat and a ruler as well. That’s what separates it from most strategy games today.
Counter-Strike 1.6
This is the CS: GO older cousin which is still played today. The graphics don’t look like much compared to today’s games but it’s a damn fun game. You can play as either a Terrorist or a Counter-Terrorist and your goal is to eliminate the other team. It’s a simple concept.
