I came across this neat game from 1995...

Back in '95 I picked up Shanghai: Great Moments which is a Mah-Jong game. To give you an idea of how old this really is, it uses WinG for graphics. Also, back in the day I had only a 3x CD-ROM, and tile sets took 1 or 2 minutes to load. Nowadays I just make a CD image, mount it with Daemon Tools, and they load in seconds. :-D Anyway, I found this CD sitting on my shelf yesterday, fired it up, and it's still a nice relaxing game. It also has Rosalind Chao (Keiko O'Brien from TNG/DS9) who I really like. ;) Has anyone else found old games that still hold up over time? I'm not talking about 80s arcade games you play with MAME, but old PC games. --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ While I can't be correct on all matters, I can make the reassuring claim that where I am inaccurate, I am at least definitively inaccurate. :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer: Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm

I remember Prince of Persia 1 and 2, Pacman, Gobman, Digger, Mario - all these games could be played on 8088 machines running DOS 4 :-) [except prince of persia 2] Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain

Hell yes - flashback by delphine software/U.S. Gold It used rotoscoped animation just like out of this world (by interplay) only it looked much more polished, and projected a blade runner sort of sci-fi atmosphere really well. And the sample that played when you fired your gun was *perfect*. And remember quest for glory? That series RULED.

It's from about 1996 I think. I haven't seen a copy of it anywhere. I would love to play it again. Yehaw! :laugh: "Two things, Donkey, Okay? Shut.... Up!" -Shrek

Oh man, I remember playing Shanghai: GM a lot during college. That was a great game (still have it too, although I think you need a patch to run it in Win98).

I recently ran across some old LucasArts titles I had collecting dust such as Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle. They were easy and quick to finish, but entertaining with colorful characters and storylines. Matt
