oh yes...any of you guys remember the days of shareware gaming catalogues and the first VGA games?
Some of those were serious quality and I'm going on a binge with that lately -- it's a shame now don't you think? Now that we have better graphics capabilities I'm starting to see a lot of game-types recycled. Everything used to be way more creative! So -- I was wondering what all your favorites are -- up until the time maybe Quake I was released. Here are mine!! -Tyrian -Supermunchers (this game was pure genious) -The Incredible Machine -Oxyd!!!!! (if none of you have played this...you're missing out. There's some free opensource version floating about, but it's not nearly as good as the original version) -Highway Hunter - Hugo I through III RPGs |

hmmm
 If i can go back 22 years, then Centipede for the Atari 1600 computer would be one of my all time favorites. You needed to hook the Atari up to a TV, and it was upgradeable to 48k of RAM!  |
