I remember playing wing commander and thinking--cool I can fly--then played xwing and tie fighter and realized that the wing commander flight engine sucked in comparison--ruined the old wing commander titles for me--or maybe it was the machine I was using at the time--ibm ps1 386sx25 (sx stood for sucks) |

Nothing sucked about the 365sx -25. It brought computing to an entire new level. Well the level you are enjoying today... Yeah I remember my 486 DLC 25 which was really a 386. Played Xwing and Tie Fighter to death with my Adlib sound board, 1 mb of memory and a 256k VGA with the top of the line VGA monitor with .39 dot pitch. :cheers: |

I always liked spooky mansion games for some reason back in the day. Games like the 7th Guest and the 11th Hour. Though not as spooky but just as fun was a game called Colonels Bequest. Once I beat the game it lost it's edge because I knew the outcome but I would always come back to it every couple of years. |

And BG II and Icewind Dale enhanced versions as well for $8 apiece. Not sure whether to get these or the originals though. Reviews on GoG seem split in that regard. |
