Tunnels & Trolls on my TI-99/4a.

I think I still own this game. I transferred it to 3.5" from the original 5.25" about 10 years ago. I haven't tried playing it in about two years, but it worked fine on my old 486. The copy protection still requires that you own the manual though.

The games I mostly feel nostalgic about were the first games of a type I played. I can remember playing Red Alert for almost an entire weekend, or staying up till well past midnight playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms on Genesis.

I still have those games, but I don't play them anymore because I've played other games in the same genres and gotten jaded. The novelty is gone, and the flaws are that much more apparent. But I still remember sending my team of 10 generals with intelligence 90+ into a province to turn it into the model of farming efficiency, and agonizing over whether to capture Lu Bu and try to keep him loyal (mostly through saving and reloading) or just execute him.

Why this instead of Enemy Unknown? Terror from the Deep was just a rehash of the original.

Not sure...maybe cuz someone gave it to me for free...or maybe because it was so much fun watching those fat, mostly naked islanders spin around in a circle and burst into meat. Just one of those games with charm...if not originality...or high techness. :-) Not to mention that the music was really catchy...der de der de der de der de der DE DERR!!! der de...

Muahaha!

Guadalcanal for the old Apple, and I think the name, but it was also for the apple, it was the invasion of Iceland, fought between Russians against the Nato allies... Don't have the game anymore but it was good

Dark Forces Jedi Night

I bought my first computer, a Acer P75 with an 850 meg HD and 4 megs of ram just to play this game.

And boy was it ever a great game.

Quake II - This game was a lot of fun too.

The Last game to have co-op play.

Narf asked:
"what's MAME?"

I think it stands for: Multi Arcade Machine Emulator.

You know those old Atari 2600 games and others from same time period.

Had lots of good games for the time...
