What's a game that you've always wanted to play, but hasn't been created yet?
Otherwise there's Arx Fatalis which is pretty much a spiritual sequel to Ultima Underworld. The game is 21 years old, but with Arx Libertatis installed on top it still holds up really well.
-
What next?
Worth mentioning to get the Arx Libertatis engine.
- Games that have intricate and well-designed levels?
-
First Person Dungeon Crawlers
Arx Libertatis - a cross-platform port of Arx Fatalis
-
How do I fix this? Every time I try to start the game, it stops at a white screen.
Are you using Arx Libertatis? If not, you should, because that will solve that.

PSA: Arkane 20th Anniversary Collection is on sale for really cheap
Just a note: you can get Arx Fatalis for free by downloading the demo on Steam and installing [Arx Libertatis](https://arx-libertatis.org/], a cross-platform port of Arx. It will run natively on the Steam Deck without Proton and the restrictions in the demo will not be there.
- Is there anything that proprietary software can do and has no open alternative?

The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Any way to play on a MacBook Pro?
Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.
