Munchies: ![[image loading]](http://www.mikefan.com/munchies/munchies_images/screen.gif) Factory: The Industrial Devolution ![[image loading]](http://macintoshgarden.org/sites/macintoshgarden.org/files/screenshots/factory.gif) Taskmaker ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d0/Taskmaker_screenshot.png) Unfortunately these games all ran on OS.9, which is no longer supported and is kind of a bitch to emulate. Also on the disc: Warcraft: Orcs and Humans (played the 2 missions in the demo dozens of times) ![[image loading]](http://www.polycat.net/gallery/albums/warcraft1/warcraft_02.jpg) Escape Velocity (Great series that runs on modern windows machines) ![[image loading]](http://media.macupdate.com/images/screens/uploaded/JPG/2307_scr.jpg) Sim City 2000 (So many wasted hours) ![[image loading]](http://www.myabandonware.com/media/captures/S/simcity-2000/simcity-2000_1.png) Gosh this is getting me so nostalgic. These are the games from my really early childhood... I'd guess from ages 8-12 Although I love pc games from the late 90's and early 2000's (Fallouts, Planescape Torment, Grim Fandango, Starcraft, Diablo2) It would sort of be a lie to classify them as childhood games. They're more teenageish. | ||

So beautiful. ![[image loading]](http://crinos.de/artwork/games/soe/flashboom.jpg) While Secret of Evermore was never as popular and probably not as good, i still like the story a lot and i had really great graphics for the time. ![[image loading]](http://www.nexgam.de/media/cache/nexgam/img/articles/747/Illusion-of-Time-5.jpg) Illusion of Time (aka Illusion of Gaia) had a beautiful story, made me cry at the end. Also nice fighting system and some more serious topics. Great game. ![[image loading]](http://hardcoregaming101.net/quintet/terranigma-1.png) Terranigma had possibly the best theme music i've ever heard. <3 ![[image loading]](http://nintendods.gaming-universe.de/screens/lufia2-1.jpg) Lufia 2 Ahh all the great memories... | ||

Tank Racer ![[image loading]](http://www.picmool.com/images/233_post_219246_1110276795.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.mono211.com/files/press/psx1.jpg) My cousin who was 7 years older than me had this one on his computer. I played it almost every time I went over. He wasn't a big fan of games so I usually had to beg. He would drive and I would aim the gun. It's like mario kart with tanks. So much wacky stuff could happen. Man that was fun. For whatever reason tanks aren't as cool as they were in the 90's. | ||

Skimming through this thread made me realize how many works of art have been made and nearly forgotten within our lifetime and the evolution of the computer. I wonder if anyone will be playing some of these games hundreds of years from now like they are classics or something. Seems plausible that a historian or something could be playing brood war centuries from now. | ||

All the kids in my development used to play N64 at my next-door neighbor's house, favorites were smash and goldeneye. In middle school and early high school we played AoE2 in the computer classes, some kid kept finding new places to hide the game folder on the public drive xD. | ||

Blockout ![[image loading]](http://keyj.s2000.ws/files/projects/blockout.png) And there was this racing game (late eighties / early nineties probably) in 3 colors (purple/Blue/Black probably). Where you saw through the front window of your car and you could shoot at the other drivers. Every time you destroyed one of them you got a piece of information about them. Like what their favorite food was, how old they were, where they lived etc. After the race you could upgrade your car with better rockets, better armor etc. If somebody knows how this game was called I'm eternally grateful. It's bugging me for some time now. | ||
