    I still have my first game consoles: the Sega Genesis and the Sega Master System. Both work. And with a TV tuner PCI card... hehehehehe

    X-Wing for the win! For that game, I bought a sound card with a joystick port and a joystick. I had to learn how to set the IRQ for the card and configure memmaker to give up enough conventional and expanded RAM to play the damn thing with sound. It's what got me started on troubleshooting PC's.

    Too much love goes to the X-Wing in my opinion. Behind the controls of an A-Wing, there was nothing I couldn't turn into debris!

    X-wing..... My friend owned that game, and a similar Star Wars game!

    Man, how I want to play it again!

    PS: We had a USB Logitech gamepad to play it with. Too bad we uninstalled it.

    Super Mario was the first game I ever played, I love it a lot and my other favourite is Cornan which I still play.

    Easier to play it in Dosbox now, that music is soo haunting and you often hear it these days on TV and in films, there is also a 3D Real Myst that was released a while ago which is great, so nostalgic
    The whole series, Myst, Riven, Myst lll Exile, Uru, Ages beyond Myst, Myst lV Revelation, Myst V, End of Ages, are very engrossing games and whilst they can drive you crazy as they are not easy games they are very rewarding when you work something out, I love the challenge of just being dropped into a game and having to sort it all out.

    I don't think there are any games that are as hard as the Myst series made these days and I have been playing adventure games for years.

    that game kicked my butt several times.
    Regedit'ed, Rooted, and Jailbroke anymore questions?
    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 liked Carmageddon. Carmageddon I was good. Then Carmageddon II had some improvements, but lost some of the cool things that made number I good. Then Carmageddon III put the franchise out of business.

    Carmageddon III decreased the fun factor by forcing you to race instead of trashing the other cars. Number III was technically called Carmageddon TDR 2000. The only thing that made it fun was the cheat codes.

    Let's not forget vanilla Westwood games. They were freakin' awesome.

    Tiberian sun was, and still is, awesome.

    I was so mad when EA bought them up. Tiberian Sun really was the best of the series. There was also Tiberium edit, which allowed you to mod pretty much everything in the game, which was pretty fun after playing through it the first time.

    RA2/YR is/was fun, but I admit, the units were WAY overpowered.

    Especially when the base was SWARMED with rocketeers.
