Old Games
The site has been around for a while, but maybe someone here doesn't know about it. Basically, it's an bottomless database of old PC games. I highly recommend the Lucas Arts adventure games, like Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle and Sam & Max: Hit the Road. Anything from Sierra is pure gold, too. The King's Quest games are some of the best point and click adventures you'll ever play, along with Space Quest feat. Roger Wilco, Police Quest (a point-n-click game that lets you relive/solve actual L.A. cases) and fuckin' Leisure Suit Larry! The "Commandos" franchise is excellent... a point-n-click WWII strategy game with a top-down camera view... just pure heaven for me. Of course they have all of the DOOM games, along with Quake, Wolfenstein, Serious Sam, Duke Nukem and Counter Strike. They even have the old WWF games you've probably never even heard of!
They have created easy downloaders/installers so things run smoothly. If you've ever tried to run an old game on a new Windows PC, you'll appreciate the hell out of that. Nothing worse then disabling sound cards, switching to 256 colors and manually booting something from the DOS prompt just to have it freeze your whole fucking system, is there?
Spend a minute rooting around for your favorites from yesteryear and see if your heart doesn't skip a beat due to nostalgia.
