    All things Pac Man - I had a Pac Man watch as a child, didn't want to get on the plane to Disney World because I had gotten the farthest I had ever gotten on Ms. Pac Man at the airport and didn't want to have to stop. Nowadays when I see Ms. Pac Man I will play until my arm aches!

    Frogger

    Carnival

    Donkey Kong

    Dig Dug

    I absolutely loved Bionic Commando for the NES and played it so much that to this day the music from it takes me right back to being a kid.

    That game was awesome! You might check out the remade version that is available on the PS3 (and perhaps other platforms). Totally revamped graphics and improved bosses but other than that it's the same game. I think it was only $5 to download.

    Anybody remember the King's Quest computer game?

    Which one? There were 8 from what I recall. I really enjoyed the first 6. Space Quest and Quest for Glory games were also awesome! The older "Quest" games from Sierra required you to type in your commands...none of this mouse pointer junk. lol

    Yes, Pac Man rules. You can download "Pac Man CE" (championship edition) for the XBox 360...it's pretty awesome.

    Re PC games

    Perhaps not that long ago relatively but a game I played to death was Descent II for the PC (don't know if it was ported to other platforms). I bought a CH Combatstick and Throttle combo just for that game and spent over $2000 on a hyped up Pentium 100 (state of the art at the time). The roomies hated when I played that one with the sub dialed up,....muahaha

    Also loved Tie Fighter & X Wing Alliance combat sims for PC. Awesome gamez; miss the "furballs",...lol

    This brings back memories of the days when I spent my time in a local bar smoking, drinking, and playing Ms. Pacman and Donkey Kong for hours on end, until my unemployment cheques ran out. Then I joined the stupid cult and cleaned windows instead.
