Remember in Bard's Tale 2?

"What is the value of Rote actions?"

Stupidest F****G question in the history of questions.

Didn't get that fair in 2. I pwned number 3 though.

What was that C-64 sports game called, where you'd surf, skateboard, hacky sack, and what-not? That game was lots of fun.

Footbag, Surfing, BMX, Rollerskating, Skateboard, and Frisbee all on California Games. Nice.

This post motivated me to download a NES emulater (Nintendo), and about 1000 ROM's, I'm in heaven

Just hearing the music to my favourites has made me happier than I can remember being for a long time

Played Mega-Man 2, remembered exactly how to beat Wood-Man's level (I always started with him), and it's the first time I've played it in over 10 years, makes me wonder how much of my brain computer games have taken up

Shining Force out there anywhere?

I'd love to play that game again. Sadly, I can't search from work. Anyone hook a brother up?

I still play Nethack occasionally. The statement that going back and playing old games kills the nostalgia and that they won't be any fun is utter bullshit. If anything, earlier games' simplicity makes them superior to today's games, not worse. Today's games are bloatware. Develoeprs feel compelled to continually add more and more features to justify releasing new software. But imagine playing "New Tetris 6, now with 27 shapes and desctructable boxes!" Sometimes more is not better.
