I remember getting in touch with a friend of mine to MODEM on the old lines with ROTT(Rise Of The Triads)... I feel sorry for those who have the initals "IPF"

Unless if you like lemmings...
de...d-de...dedede...de...d-de...dedede...de...

Anyways... great ol' games... loads of fun...

Why isn't there any more different games posted in here???

Yes GZ I played ROTT and loved Lemmings (on Amiga and Atari)

Did someone (old enough) here happened to play Manic Miner on a Sinclair Spectrum : 8 bits, 16 colours, 48 kb RAM computer...?
That was fabulous !... Computing prehistory !... I already was there !

Then came Amstrad and then... I had a first IBM PC 386... and... here we are !

I always thought Quake 3 borrowed the bounce pads from ROTT. Great game.

I feel like I'm in a senior citizen home. Dang-nabbit Bob, all these new kids and their 3D Graphics ... what happened to the good ole command prompt days.

Start>Run>cmd>ok

That should get you started...

Hey wait a minute???

Command Prompt???What happened???

Has Microsloth relied on DOS for all these years and XP was supposed to rid of that???

DOS : Disk Operating System

Can't really use your computer without a hard disk now can you?

I still tend to use the command prompt whenever the need arises especially when the program was meant to run in DOS using special command line switches...

Hmmm... Not me... But I seem to remember the old OS/2 Warp was a hit for a little while...

the first game that I play in a pc was the Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis in an old 386 of a friend, since that day I love that kind of games like Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion.
And I cant forget the old wolfesntein and, for me, the best fps game, "BLOOD".
