I have a copy of Homeworld2, but I've been scouting to no avail for a copy of the first one. It would be awesome if Relic or whoever owns it now released the source code.

They did, a while ago.
Google Homeworld SDL.
Finding the original is kind of trivial googling too.
 
REAL oldies, DOS games, that I still play from time to time:

Alien Legacy - I still daydream about how awesome it would be with modern graphics.
Another World - If you don't know it, you are not a gamer.
Elite 2-3 - Biggest gameworld to date, planet landing, trading, fighting, etc. Good times.
X-Wing/TIE-Fighter - Back when Lucastarts made good games.
Cannon Fodder 1-2 - great, mindless fun.
Fury of the Furries - good platformer.
Prince of Persia 1-2 - also great platform games.
Lemmings - One of the best of the old puzzle games.
Betrayal at Krondor - Never finished it, but give it a go from time to time, since it's an awesome RPG.
.
.
.
Many others that I can't remember right now. I grew up with old games and regularly play them for nostalgia.
 
Fallout 2
Arcanum
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Alien Crossfire

Bloodworth already stated it, but I'd definitely recommend Homeworld. I've never seen anything quite like it, before or since.

I have a copy of Homeworld2, but I've been scouting to no avail for a copy of the first one. It would be awesome if Relic or whoever owns it now released the source code.

I think Relic released it as freewere some years back.

EDIT
Sierra relesed it before getting taken over by Activision so i dont think it is avalable.


i still play the below every so often.
Homeworld
Wing Commander
Civilization 3
DOOM
Ground Control
StarCraft
Freelancer

I meant getting one from a store, or a yard-sale or whatever on CD. I hate buying things over the Internet.

As for the Homeworld SDL, I admit I feel really silly right now. :owned:
