In that link you will find, well, every video game. Basically emulators of just about every game ever made. There are some that dont always work but Ive spent hours on there playing the old NES games, especially Star Wars.

EDIT: Actually, I just looked at it and it seems they have dropped a few games. But, there is still a tonne there.

The Space Quest series were great, I miss them.

Ozy_Flame · 10-08-2005, 12:36 PM

The 'Quest' Series was the best for the PC, hands down. Sierra games were the most classic of classics.

And to all those whole listed River City Ransom, I actually picked up a mint-condition copy with the box last year! It's awesome, that has to be (next to the Mario brothers) the best NES game that ever existed.

Weiser Wonder · 10-08-2005, 01:01 PM

Blades of Steel
Super Tennis (SNES)
Mario
Duck Hunt

Maritime Q-Scout · 10-08-2005, 01:06 PM

anyone that doesn't put "Blades of Steel" is just plain wrong in their opinion

I actually got them to work on my old computer, but haven't bothered with my new computer. I'm not sure if it was legal and I am keeping everything legal on my new computer. If I really wanted to play them still, I could pull out my old Tandy 1000 which still works.

Shawnski · 10-08-2005, 01:15 PM

One of my original arcade classic favourites... Battle Zone.

CarlW · 10-08-2005, 01:20 PM

Quest for Glory
Day of the Tentacle
Sam n Max Hit the Road

Master of Orion II
Ghouls n Ghosts

PaperBoy and that game you used to play in school where they were settlers and people got malaria? What was that game? The only reason it was a favorite is because it was a good waste of class.
