I was on a major nostalgia/abandon kick about 4 years ago... snagged a bunch of stuff I was playing in high school and junior high...

Thanks for the reminder! I'm cruising the site(s) once more, hording stuff I may never play, but would love to keep for posperity.

What are everyone's favorite old abandon games?

 

[Ninjas4Less]

I can never get underdogs stuff to work, either to download, or work on my end.

There's no place better than The Underdogs.

Dunno if this is my favorite but its the first PC game I ever played... It was really addictive about 20y ago =)

It seems like I'm eternally playing abadonware and forgotten classics.

I highly recommend The Underdogs. I've contributed to that site over the years (games, links to underdogs, etc) and the people who run it are a great bunch of guys/gals.

All the old Sierra / Lucasarts adventure games. Space Quest/Kings Quest and Monkey Island/Indiana Jones the best games respectively.

Any tips on how to run DOS based games on Windows XP?

I need my Tex Murphy fix.

Thanks guys for The underdogs ! It is really what I was searching for.

Now, to the guy who wanted to run old dos games on windows XP SP2, I would suggest DosBox DosBox

There are hundreds of unknown and underrated PC games like Albion (I own it).

One really can't be a console only gamer, never could, never will. There are far too many great games on the PC that people don't even know about ("There's nothing but FPSes and RTSes on PCs").

What are everyone's favorite old abandon games?

Let's see...

D/Generation - great puzzle/action game.

Seven Cities of Gold - I still play this every now and then.

Ultima IV-VI.

Syndicate.

Cliff Johnson's puzzle games - The Fools Errand and 3 in Three. You can still download these from his website (www.fools-errand.com)

Anything by Infocom, esp. Trinity, A Mind Forever Voyaging, The Lurking Horror, and the Enchanter Trilogy. Play some of them here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~pot/infocom/

I've always wanted to try Sundog: Frozen Legacy, but I could never get my ST emulator to work...

...oh, and Lemmings, of course.
