If you like FPS games, then Half-Life Platinum (old, but great), Ultimate Quake and Unreal Anthology are some very good offerings

Ultima Collection?

In my opinion LucasArts archive 1 (or any others,I love Point and click games.)

I would add Wing Commander Kilrathi Saga compilation to the list

Flux and Xian97, both of those are VERY sought after... read - EXPENSIVE!!! 🙁

the SSI compilation is smashing too, and maybe a must have. If you are into the FRUA engine of RPGs. And so forth.

Yeah, but that one ain't cheap. 😉

Wow, I never knew the Kilrathi Saga had went up that much. I just did a quick ebay search and saw it approaching $200. When it came out I never bothered with it since I had bought each one when they originally came out.

If you want cheap go for a police quest collection or a space quest collection. They are fairly new and you can still find those in stores. These are two popular serieses of games that although i don't like they are very popula so kings quest and leisure suit larry. This next will be very good but will most likely be very expensive and hard to find ID Anthology. Includes the keen games and that includes keen 6 and keen 1-5 are ega versions and keen 6 is the much better looking cga version and their is a patch to turn that cga version into an ega version but i forget where so you will have to go through multiple comander keen sites to find it search comander keen. ID anthology is the best one to getbut also is expensive. pinball gold pack or The need for speed collection with nfs 2se-nfs hp2.

ID Anthology is very good, but will most likely be very expensive and hard to find. It includes the Keen games and that includes Keen 6. Keen 1-5 are EGA versions while Keen 6 is the much better looking CGA version. There is a patch to turn the CGA version into an EGA version, but I have forgotten where it is, so you will have to go through multiple Commander Keen sites to find it (search for Commander Keen). ID anthology is the best one to get, but is also expensive.

Pinball Gold Pack or The Need for Speed collection with NFS 2SE-NFS HP2.

i thought commander keen 4-6 was cga and not just 6.

Thanks MiniMax 😀

All Commander Keens are in EGA, though they have a CGA graphics mode fallback because Softdisk wanted wide support.

Doesn't anyone know about the much nicer looking cga keen 6? Their is a cga keen dreams and a cga keen 5 but you will have to purchase those and their is no cga keen dreams shareware and no keen 6 cga demo only registered versions. You can't get keen 5 for free and must purchase it but good news you can download a cga keen 4 at the site.

I found the patch and some other addons for the keen games.

Cga keen 1. I did not know ID/Apogee made a cga keen 1
Cga keen 1 and cga keen 4 look better than the ega versions.

drugs are bad btw

I don't do drugs. Am i the only who likes cga keen 1 and 4 more than ega version? The cga versions look better and i play them more. You should seriously try out space quest 2 in pcjr mode which has better sounds but looks the same or the cga mode which looks the best. You can keep pushing alt,f12 an play with the colour on cga. Cga with the wonderful sounding pc speaker rules. Pc speaker sounds better than sound blaster 16. I am not crazy or anything this is just my oppinion.
Activision anthology and antari 80 classic games in one/atari anthology are other good choices.

If memory serves, there is no CGA Keen 1-3 because the engine exploited some technique that was impossible to use in CGA. Softdisk's insistence on having a CGA fallback was a major factor in its employees leaving to start id software. ref

And the magenta-cyan color scheme of CGA is a hideous abomination, unless perhaps you are playing on a monochrome monitor. (However, I do think that Keen's PC speaker sound effects have a certain charm that makes them superior to the Sound Blaster effects.)

See the second link and it will prove to you their is a cga keen 1 and if their is a cga keen 1 then ID/Apogee must of made a cga keen 2 and 3. I never knew ID/appogee made a cga keen 1 but the second link proves it.
Pc speaker sounds better than sound blaster and i play doom with pc speaker sounds as it sounds better though i use sound blaster for music. That's my favourite combo pc speaker for sound effects and sound blaster for music. Look at for simulator 1 and 2 and you will know cga looks great. Why don't new games have wonderful cga graphics. The cga graphics are the best.
