Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?
* Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

I'll start with mine.
(in no particular order)
- #SimFarm
It seems easier to play than #SimCity, but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.
- #Empire / #EmpireClassic (DOS version specifically).
If I am not mistaken, before there was the #Civilization franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is #EmpireDeluxe available on #Steam, but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.
- #CarrierCommand
A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.
Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM
Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.
- #Hyperspeed / #Lightspeed (DOS)
Years before the era of #EVEonline came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.
- #StarControl / #StarControl2 (DOS)
I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.
You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.
Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).
