Diablo and Burntime (i love this game)

Stunts was an awesome racing game. I remember sharing tracks with my friends at school on floppy disks.

Also, Duke Nukem 3D was awesome on LAN games (*nostalgia* 75MHz computers). The only negative point would be that the RPG was overpowered, especially in the hand of an experienced user.

-Kings Quest V and VI. Probably a couple of my favorite 2 adventure games of all time. I kinda miss dying in adventure games.
-Little Big Adventure 1 and 2. An amazing journey that I will always remember fondly. Story was quite mature considering how cute everything looked.
-Ultima Underworld 1 and 2. The 3D is probably hideous today, but it was my first 3D game so it holds a special place in my heart. I truly loved the map, and how you can scribble notes onto it.
-Doom. Needs no comment.

I liked

Doom
Heretic


Also there was this game that I can't remember the name of, but if someone knows what I'm talking about please message me with the name!

first game started off where the main character crash lands his plane near a building (I think he had long curly dark hair and dark skin) and you fight these blob creatures and these devil looking creatures on that first level as you move up the building saving human hostages. PLEASE IF YOU KNOW THIS GAME LET ME KNOW! I would love to play it again it's been at least 13 years or more since I last played it.

My favorites that I grew up playing:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (greatest books ever written make a great game)
Kings Quest (my favorite was the fairy tale one)
Oregon Trail (that damn raft trip)
Zork series (still play today)
The Black Cauldron (I'm actully going to play this again now so good)

And my absolute favorite
Gold Rush (I always forgot to put the flowers on the grave for the points)

You really can't go wrong with anything Sierra made.

Edit: Wow almost forgot Space Quest, Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry!

Some of my childhood favorites:

Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion - early ID Software game, like Mario but with a gun!

Prince of Persia - the old one, not the new one with the same title for some reason...

 

[klopfdreh]

Indiana Jones 4 - The fate of Atlantis
Star Wars - Tie Fighter (X-Wing was boring in comparison)
Heretic

That are my favs.

 

[OsCatalepticos]

Chip's Challenge

enough said.

 

[hamstarr]

may I add,

Psycho Pinball
MDK
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Warcraft 2

 

[Finishoff]

Jazz Jackrabit, Prince of Persia and the Chinese Chess with the character animation where they kill each other.

 

[warbird]

No mention of Ultima 7 (Black Gate and Serpent Isle)? Those are engaging games even today, and graphics-wise, they hold up OK. Can easily be played on modern system using Exult.

Little Big Adventure 1 and 2 (aka Twinsens Odyssey) also holds fond memories with me. Remember riding my bike to the department store, full of excitement, when I heard that my preorder had arrived. Longest 30 min bike ride in my life. Highly recommended.

 

[themuddaload]

wolf3d
doom
lode runner

I grew up playing Alley Cat and King's Quest...

Great games...

 

[warbird]

Alley Cat is a classic. There also was this game, I don't know the game. Just one executable I think; h.com. It was all ASCII, and basically you just moved your H around, moving blocks and trying to trap some other characters without getting blocked yourself. If anyone knows this game, and can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Really want to try it again, although I'm sure it will suck
