Hmm, i was messing around with an amiga a500+ at the time, i think it was a good move, a: games where cheap, and that was the important factor. b: it did have a programming language and compiler called amos, not very important then, but it helped to get my feet wet in programming. c it had a keyboard, so while everyone else was messing around with nes and snes or whatever, i could touch type.

I never could find my way down to the Pyramid of Forbidden Lies, though. I looked everywhere for the secret entrance. I can't replay that game though, the graphics are...just too.............horrid in this day and age.

Those games were fun and all, but I'd have to say my favorite game was Scorched Earth, hours of fun.

I think there were some old mac's at my more earlier schools that had a macintosh port of the game.

There is no comparison between classic games and games of today. Classic games just have a different "feel" than games of today. For example, I remember when a first person shooter was all about flipping swiches and finding keys to get out of the level. Now, first person shooter games are cinematic, almost like a movie. Classic games are still fun to play because they offer something that modern games can't, as modern games offer stuff that classic games can't.
