    I've got Hover installed on my XP machine....

    What say we mod it and make it multiplayer?

    Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.”

    I played many games during my childhood, and while I cannot narrow my list to a single game, my favorites were definitely those made by Apogee Software and Epic Megagames, two companies that were very influential in the early-to-mid 1990's in that they helped to popularize the concept of "shareware." I played nearly every single game that those companies made, but some of my favorites were Bio Menace, Commander Keen, and Jazz Jackrabbit, because of their graphics, their music (and those games had some very awesome music; Bobby Prince was a very skilled composer), and the overall entertainment of the experience of playing them. Those games provided me with hours of fun and enjoyment when I was younger.

    There were other games not made by those companies that I also enjoyed, notably VGA Miner (which I found to be very challenging and complex), Scorched Earth (which, despite its primitive graphics and sound, was very enjoyable), and Super Fly (a game where the player must rid a house of a infestation by flies and other vermin). That last game, Super Fly, was written by a single person, and I recently learned that that person lives in the same state as me, so I may attempt to visit them and see if they remember that game. That would be very interesting, in my mind.

    For me, it's Speedy Eggbert, which is a 2D sidescroller. I played it recently, and even though the controls are a bit clunky by today's standards, it's one still really fun.

    Super Mario 64 was my favorite childhood computer game. I spent countless hours on that game to try and beat it.

    Some of us older members (lol.. I'm only 32) are looking at things like Snes and N64 games, and thinking how "recent" those really were.

    A lot of the old shareware diskette games were not where I started, Commander Keen and Jazz Jackrabbit were into my teenage years in fact. I actually had a Commodore VIC20, with a cassette drive. Pacman! I also had a ColecoVision system as a young kid; the baseball game was a blast! The controllers were HUGE too.

    I have loads of memories of playing Wolfenstein/Doom on the PC (ca. 1994, when I got my first "REAL" 486 PC), then into Quake when it came out. I was onto a P100 by then! w00t!
