Old Computer Games

I had to play some Rodent's Revenge while I was sipping some beer. I just had this urge to want to play a Windows classic...

Of course I have the original 1991 Microsoft Entertainment Pack...

I've got a ton of DOS games when I was a child I used to play...

Any of you get this urge to play something old?

Well, not computer games... but I was playing the arcade games on Xbox Live the other day....some of those games are seriously fun. It was weird to step back to the older, classic, "simple" yet fun for hours and hours type games.

Oregon Trail. Greatest game ever invented. I downloaded it not too long ago, but it always freezes halfway through the game

I used to play some Leisure Suit Larry, too. Doubt I would fire that one up again, though.

Never a hardcore gamer, but I go way back to the Atari Pong machine, then the Atari 2600, Apple II, TRS80, PC/Dos, early Windows, etc... My college roomate had a Kaypro and we would play Ladder (a Donkey Kong like game) for hours on end.

Don't really want to play any of the old games again. Well, maybe Harpoon (Cold War airpower simulation game). I used to enjoy that one alot.
