Oregon Trail ownz!! Computer class in elementary school was primarily for playing LOGO, Gertrude's Secrets and the incredible Oregon Trail.
My favorite part was writing on the headstones for dead family/party members

LOAF: Since you're adding an old mac to your play-every-WC lump of hardware, you should invest in "Quarterstaff: The Tomb of Setmoth" for the mac. It's one of the best games ever: Good visuals with a text-based interface. A true text-adventure masterpiece!

I loved that game. I still kind of do, but it wasnt purely text based. Lots of it was true, but not what i think about when i think text based.
That and you got to hunt things!
Moneky Island was Very KEEN... Get it *hyuck*!?
OH NO
How could I have forgotten Monkey Island!? Those games were the bestest! Best use of humor in games too.
Commander Keen was neat. The one that boasted graphics "JUST LIKE NINTENDO OMG!!" was the best one. Heh heh, the parts on his ship were goofy

I got Wing Commander 4 for my 13th birthday, or the christmas beforehand, I can't remember which.
The storyline was what grabbed me and I can't imagine another game like WC4.
After a few years, I'd been playing WC4 and I decided to search for Wing Commander on the internet. I came across Origin's site which led me to add www.wcnews.com to my link bar
Visiting wcnews.com often eventually led me to #wingnut and there I learned to tolerate the minority-group mentality
After following Wing Commander online for some time, I started to want the other games. So through different means, I now have (full legal) WC 3, 4, 5 and Privateer 2.
And the good thing is that I never payed for any of them (WildCat, you deserve a gold star
).

Eheh... I thought we were talking about adventure games, but naturally, as Dom would put it, Commander Keen r0x0r!
Speaking of old games, does anyone remember Sokoban? Prince of Persia?...
Nibbles? Gorilla?
Indeed, bow down to Monkey Island, my friend! The original(secret of monkey island), though it did not have speech, is still one of my favorite games of all time. And Zak McKracken? Zak McKracken, come on! Beneath a Steel Sky(that was downright awesome). The DIG(That dude from X-Files, Robert Patrick, does the voice of Boston!), and of course: Sam and Max. Ah yes, indeed, Sam and Max Hit the Road. Of course, there was the legend of kyrandia series; They were good for time-wasting, but they were never the best of the point-and-clicks. Every AGI game I ever played I loved, especially the SQ, KQ, and PQ series(Larry doesn't count, it really wasn't my thing... I was only eight when I started playing these games). Of course, there's Keen; the original, truly great Castle Wolfenstein and Return to Castle Wolfenstein games; Abandoned Places(Amiga); Prince of Persia, one of my first games on a mac(I prefer the mac version, actually); Lemmings, Holiday Lemmings, Oh No! More Lemmings; James Pond I and II(robocod); Agony(amiga); Alien Breed(Amiga), god the list goes on and on!
I also enjoyed Sokoban, in all it's many incarnations. I still enjoy minesweep, for what it's worth. And does any one remember Dragon's Lair? Or hellcab? And of course, the many FMV games(Spycraft, Biohazard, Dracula Unleashed), first-person adventure/puzzle games(Return to Zork, 7th Guest), Myst and all it's various rip-offs(Frankenstein; Through the Eyes of the Monster). Ahh... The memories.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 in which I played dozens of cool, unforgettable games. And that computer was Microsoft-free! Did anybody have one of those? I bet we could make a WC Mod for one of the old C64 games!
About the best old (not WC) PC games, I´d rank as the best Monkey Island 1, Prince of Persia 1, X-wing, Stunts , Wolfenstein series, SimCity 1 and Civilization 1.

I do (except Sokoban, though I definately remember the name!) but I only played Prince of Persia 1 and 2, never that 3D-Prince.
Same with Monkey Island, only played 1&2. I am thinking about buying 3&4, any experience with them?
