Well, not much for the "gaming front", @ least not like I used to be 5-10 yrs. ago... but, I like IDSoftware's games! Especially their "1st person shooters"...

Wolf3d (has OpenGL port, see my P.S.)

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Doom I (has OpenGL port, see my P.S.)

Doom II (has OpenGL port, see my P.S.)

Doom III

Quake I (has OpenGL port, see my P.S.)

Quake II

Quake III

Quake IV

Why?

Well, because they're generally "cutting edge tech" when they release, & their main architect/software engineer, John Carmack?? He IS a genius, in every sense of the word... imo, @ least! His "Carmack's Reverse" (look that one up, very interesting)?? Took smarts... thinking "outside of the box", by ALL means...

* Good fun!

APK

P.S.=> You guys may NOT have caught this post, but, for the "oldies games" & not just those I noted above? Many have been "ported" over time, from DOS to Win32 environs... & into either an OpenGL display, OR DirectX ones as well! Something to consider/"food-4-thought", see here:
