Any "best of" list beginning with Jagged Alliance 2 deserves my respect.

The big difference between those games and today's games is that they are obvious labours of love

Everyone should play Gothic.

Arx fatalis is fucking underrated

Great list. I'll add that Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is the greatest game ever made and deserves to be played forever.

Dawn of War 2 is "retro" now? I have become ancient.

The way the gaming industry is going I see myself playing a lot of these in the near future. Thanks a lot

So pleasantly surprised to see Knights and Merchants in there. Miraculously, it's one of the few CDs from back in the day that have survived in my collection. Terrific game.

Total Overdose was an unexpected masterpiece. Played this on my PSP back in the day.

Please please PLEASE if you mentioned Jagged Alliance 2, don't forget to mention the fan-made mod/upgrade called 1.13. It not only fixes many bugs, but it allows the game to run on modern systems, with better resolution, adds lots of new equipment and new game mechanics, and adds even multiplayer.

My love for Jagged Alliance 2 is very well documented, but frankly there is only one retro game that everyone should play. It's now called "The Ur-Quan Masters".

Rollcage was legendary.

Dawn of War 1 is the superior game. Get Winter assault and play Imperial Guard for the true 40K experience.

For me, you are the first YouTuber who mentioned Silver, damn I loved that game when I was a kid
