I sure do.

I downloaded the monkey island series last year. That was a great game, they dont make games like that anymore.

*sigh*

What are some of your favourite old school games?

what about even older games ... like stunts and oh ... um some game where you're a street racer and it's like VGA graphics. Street Rod I think.
I love abandonware sites.

I miss the Bareknuckle series. I think they are planning to develop Bareknuckle4 for X-Box. I hope that they do.

is a great site for getting old abandonware games. I believe it's actually legal to download them if the publisher no longer produces the title ... I think.
Anyway underdogs hosts a number of games you can download legally due to this.

http://www.abandonia.com/index2.php does too.

I recently finished up Descent, I'm thinking of installing the Crusader series (Which I still have on cd) and having a replay of them.

Dune 2. And any of the first three episodes of the original Duke Nukem.
also Scorched Earth, does anyone else remember that one?

yams - April 13, 2005 11:43 AM (GMT)
was scorched earth that one where u set up your ballistic cannon and try to blow the other cannon up?

Painless Doc Johnson - April 13, 2005 12:27 PM (GMT)
kinda, yeah. You had to chose a little tank, and buy weapons, and then you were put on a randomized terrain. You controlled the power and elevation of the shot.
It was awesome. Having said that, its one of those ones that becomes way better after a drink or two.

Was specially programmed for engineers, when they were working alone and felt sad.
