Re: Games We Cherish
Hi,
X-com TFTD is still a great game but XP doesn't
like it much. I have to have a dual boot system
to play it. Warlords 3 is another classic and
now that Doomsday has produced an incredible
conVersion (runs under XP and with 3D Models) I'm
playing Doom, Doom 2 and Heretic again.

Re: Games We Cherish
I only have SEIV on my system.
Harpoon? Cool, I loved both the paper and the Computer Version. Did you know the designer and his crew were "intensly interviewed" by certain govenmental officials as to where they got their data for the game. (some of it came from the Russians).

Re: Games We Cherish
I used to have MoM on my computer. Now it is replaced by AoW/AoW2
Slightly OT, but I like original AoW more than the sequel.

Re: Games We Cherish
I don't think I've uninstalled any of my PC games....except for Tribes, and that's because I replaced it with Tribes 2.
However, I still haven't finished the game Tachyon, and I enjoyed it. Partly because I'm a Bruce Campbell fan(he does the voice for the main character), and he's got a persona/presence that is just too funny. I hope to get back into that game and even complete the adventure, at least once. Never mind all the major decision points in the game where the story diverges. While the game is a 1st person pilot shoot-em up, there are adventures that stray at least a little ways off of that.

Re: Games We Cherish
My three old stand-byes are SE3, TAoW, and Janes’ Fleet Command.

Re: Games We Cherish
Oh, so you like roguelikes too? Why don't you try Ancient Domains of Mystery ( www.adom.de)? Only trouble with those games is trying to play them on a laptop, you have to set the diagonal movement controls to weird things like pageup or F9 because there's no number pad
