Last year I bought a half crapped out 286 tower off eBay and restored it to working order, today was the day I loaded up Ultima 6 onto it!

These sorts of screens, no one thinks of, but all need plumbing , grinding and working at so that the player experience is as good as possible. First screen needed some font color tweaks, second screen looks a bit better :)

Probably one of the earliest RTS ever, and one of my favorite DOS PC games of all time on my 8088 PC XT! Yup this bad boy ran on under 256k memory (Amazing!) - Taking all the castles on the map was the goal, and in part inspiration for Waronomy which has the same objective.

Had a great time at the London Gaming Market (UK) last Sunday.

Any one remember when Chex Cereal gave away this DOS game in their cereal boxes to boost sales? This game was fun, and sales boomed.

Elite! - Such a great space trading game! 1987 Dos game, buy resources/stuff cheap at one planet and sell high at another all while upgrading your ship and trying not to get shot out of space while doing so!

Any one also remember playing this classic example of an early point and click? not having to type out every action was a big bonus in this game. A fun game that took your toon on quite a weird adventure.

Zeliard! 1990 Dos Game. An old DOS game that does the classic RPG loop really well: push deeper into dangerous caverns, collect stuff, head back to town with barely any HP left, then upgrade your gear before heading out again. - Does that loop remind you of any other classic RPG Games?

I think if memory serves this was the second game I ever played on my PC XT. .. on an orange monochrome.. yeah good old times..:)

I have always loved Heroes of Might and Magic, now playing the Heroes Chronicles series via GOG. :)

Playing a racing game only on a keyboard was probably not the best gamer experience I have ever had, but it sure was fun! Here are some of my favorites, unranked, which one was yours and why?

Just bagged my these 2 bad boys off of eBay, I played hours of this game at Uni - never finished. Now its retirement material ha ha :) , can't wait for the delivery!

Formation Armed F - a Japanese 1988 arcade title - One of my all time favorites! A classic: make one mistake and you die type game, 3 lives to start - pickup a new life at various point totals - check points. It was hard to tear me a way from this game. It was the only machine at the local chip shop so competition for getting on the machine was fierce, and once on every one wanted "one more go"!

Both these bad boys, came out in 1983!

I remember playing these 2 games at friends houses because, we were too poor to afford anything like that at my house. Jetpack on my friends noisy ZX Spectrum and Joust at my other friends house on the Atari!

Such Fun!

Ultima 6 just completely captured my imagination. At the time it felt enormous, mysterious, and alive in a way very few games did. I loved that you could wander, talk to people, discover things by accident, make choices, and feel like you were part of a real fantasy world rather than just moving through a set of levels. I think it was one of the first games that made me feel genuine adventure, (from my bedroom lol)— I carried this game around in my head all day long, heck I even had dreams of being in game.

Man! does this screen bring back memories!

To most of the world this was Quest for Glory III: Wages of War, but I’ve always remembered it as Hero’s Quest 3.

Hero’s Quest was the original name of the series before Sierra had to change it to Quest for Glory because of the HeroQuest trademark issue - In some countries it was not applicable so the original name stood.

Has anyone got any recommendations? I need to fill that last slot, and maybe the horizontal shelf where I presently have some pc games :)

Totally chuffed with this Dwarven Fighter Roll!
Game: Curse of the Azure Bonds - AD&D series - DOS GAME.
If you've ever rolled a better char in any of the AD&D series let me know! I think this is the dogs, but.. as they say .. there is always someone bigger than you!
