    My cousin and I played hours of Hover on his shiny new Compaq Presario. That and two extremely shitty movie makers, one that I think was made by Microsoft and one that was based on the Spider-man animated series. Fortunately, we were about twelve, so that's all the entertainment we really required.

    I'm playing Buddy Holly by Weezer from the Win95 disc right now. Up next is a preview for Rob Roy.

    edit: I played it on a Packard Bell with a Pentium 1.

    I poured so many hours into it and the sequel when I was a kid. Too bad the franchise was driven into the ground.

    I used to have a PC game called Project Nomad.

    You played a spaceship pilot and you flew around shooting missiles at guys and trading chocolate to aliens.

    Seriously, there was one alien race that loved the shit out of chocolate.

    Those games were so much fun. I spent so much time in the level creator just fiddling around with the contraptions, I loved it.

    Seeing this video made me check the wiki article on it and:
    The original game has been announced for a download release for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, but so far no price has been given and the only release date was 2009.[5]

    Fuck yeah

    I played Castle of Dr. Brain at a computer class I went to as a kid
    The day I finished it I developed an incredibly bad sinus headache, the worst I've ever had, but stuck with that game for like an hour and when I finally finished it my left eye was almost out of it's socket and they had to call my mommy

    So I spent about two hours last night starting my new Planescape: Torment playthrough. I've never really given the mage class a fair shake, so I'm going to do that.

    It's good to be back. For one thing, it's probably the most quotable game ever written. Just seems like you don't get this quality of writing these days.
