Ok well if we jump back a few eras - what were your fav games from the dos days?

My first PC was a 486 33mhz 80mb hd machine, so I never really got playing until the days of VGA and 3 1/2" floppies... HOWEVER my cousins had an EGA machine and tons of games so i've played plenty. Whilst my memory is a little fuzzy, Digger and California Games are two which immediately come to mind (multiplayer California games rock!)

I have to say I really loved Rise of the Triad. Mainly 'cause it was made of pure awesome, with a side of awesome.

Then again, I've only been around sine 1991 >.> Anyone remember Body Count? The demo was actually better than the full game.

I loved all the games after Rise of the Triad. Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Blood kicked absolute ass. Good fun and great attitude towards kicking ass

Yes... but Rise of the Triad is a really good game... remember when you kill someone with a bazooka (or baseball bat), all pieces of people fly front you

I remember the name and yet cannot remember the game. One Must Fall? Was that an adventure title?

ES2 was 1996. Starsiege was the 1998-99 one (it had like 3 test demos in 1998 from Feb to November, then had a final release in Spring 99)

Sorry it was a while ago and I was only 5 when I first played, you can't expect me to remember.

Starsiege is a good game to, but not in comparison. No ogre=epic fail
