What games would you put on a Classic PC?

The hubbub around Nintendo's SNES Classic announcement this week had us wondering: what would an equivalent, retro PC look like if it released today, and what games would you put on it?

nice list. the OG Wolfenstein, Doom and Duke Nukem are musts.... I know there were a lot of others I can't recall so off the top of my head the only thing I can think to add would be Arkanoid. that game was so much fun with that stupid bouncing ball and bricks. Then more recently games like Starcraft, Diablo, etc. I'm think OG PC though like late 80s early, early 90s.

Duke Nukem the original side scroller version or Duke Nukem 3D?

OG!! though 3D too would be fine.

Honestly, there's so many I could be here for an age. I actually think PC gaming had more going for it back in the day, some of the most influential and genre-defining games came out back then and most were completely different from console offerings.

I think its still quite awesome, but over time devs were able to find ways to make games that used to only work on pc work on console. I still think games like pubg and divinity original sin 2 are head and shoulders better on pc. Heck many console games get ported down to phones, it doesnt make the console versions any less special.

[zaherdab]

a snes emulator and sell it as the "Snes mini"
