Someone earlier mentioned other bitmap bros games like Gods and magic pockets. But for me my favourites were speedball 2 and xenon 2... OMG VGA pwnage back then.

Wing Commander - running to the ships scene with the klaxons blaring and music on Creative's Game Blaster Card, classic memories lol.

Other favourites were, Ultima IV - i think i spent most of the time running around not really knowing what to do, how did people live without gamefaqs.com?

Atari 2600, Apple II, 8088 proccessors, 4.44mhz and CGA graphics = ol' skool!

Nowadays, when i want to do some retro gaming, It's MAME32 for me. All the fun of the arcades without the cigarette smoke or the risk of getting caught in a school uniform in an arcade raid tongue.gif

Suprised no one had mentioned the old classic D&D especially Champions,Death Knight and Dark Queen of Krynn.

Other classics I enjoyed are Sierra games like Gabriel Knight,Polic Quest,Kings Quest eetc
Also LucasArt games like Maniac Mansion,Monkey Island

Really hated the annoying random deaths in the old adventure games though. Flushing the toilet and crossing the road in Leisure Suit Larry would result in your untimely death in those days. King's quest.. you had to type "swim" when you entered a lake or else you would drown doh.gif
