The First Game You Reinstall

[Hollycat]

TESIV GOTY duh.

[Madame Adequate]

It was, for a long time, Master of Orion 2, but stupid Windows 7 can't play it.

Whoa there, is this true? Confirmed for never upgrading to Win7.

[Quindiana Jones]

Terraria, because I've never had a PC that could run anything bigger.

[Skyblade]

Actually, I've heard you can with DosBox and routing the CD drive through to DosBox, but I haven't tried yet. But Win 7 can't run the Windows version, that much is certain, or was when last I checked.

[Aulayna]

WoW

[Bolivar]

Always Command & Conquer: The First Decade (Tiberium Dawn-Generals: Zero Hour).

Duh.

[Heath]

The most recent game I've reinstalled is Dungeon Keeper (an excellent RTS game from the mid-1990s by the same people who brought us Theme Park and Theme Hospital). If you've not played it yet, you should really do so. It was always the first game I'd reinstall when I was a kid - I remember being really annoyed that Windows XP wouldn't support it.

[Værn]

FreeCell, Solitaire, Hearts, and Minesweeper. Simultaneously.
Duh.

[theundeadhero]

WoW

Almost everything else is console.

[Denmark]

emulators. duh.

then when it comes to actual PC games it's probably SMAC

I don't have any problems with MoO2 on Win7, but I'm using the GoG version, not the CD.

[Shoeberto]

Half-life and mods.

Though with steam it's not as ceremonious as it used to be with CDs. Less of a pain in the ass though.

[Wolf Kanno]

Civilization 2 actually, still my fave Civ game.

I feel slightly dirty for forgetting Magic Carpet, but I never played Syndicate. Man, Bullfrog were awesome. I miss the 1990s.
