I have some very, vey old games. I backed it up on 2CD's. I am talking about games like Bike GP, Car GP, Test Drive 1-3, Prince of Persia 1, Alley Cat, Budokan, Beneath a steel sky, Rex Nebular, Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, California games, Block Out and so much more i am not even going to mention it. I think the oldest must be Eagles Nest.

I got quite a few old games
ROtox, Stargate (Defender 2), Digger, Styx, Test Drive 1, Indy 500, Ninja, tons tons tons of games made so long ago by companies no one would recognize.

I also got the Microsoft Arcade Classics thinger. (IT was called something like that). Came with Dig-dug, Pac-man, POLE POSITION!!!, and Galaga.
PS AND KINGS QUEST 1!
That game made me play for hours! My disk was destroyed before I beat the game! NO! Last time I didnt back up a floppy it was.
I dont suppose there's any place to find that game is there. http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/frown.gif memories

The oldest games I still play once in a while are the gold box AD&D series - Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn etc. I have heaps of the old CGA games archived on a CD though.
What amazes me is the way that Alley Cat adapts itself perfectly to computer speed - it's still perfectly playable on my PII, while something like Bouncing Babies isn't even worth trying. Anyone know of a slowdown util that actually works?
And Kane17, Sierra have been releasing collections of games for a while now - KQ1 is in both of the Kings Quest collections that they released. They're basically shovelware, so just try and find a video shop or CD-ROM hire place that has it and borrow it for a night.
