Lemmings (SNES)

Many good calls there! Lemmings however was far superior on the Amiga/PC thanks to native mouse support among other reasons, Lemmings 2 especially is one my all time fave games.

Daniel.

Gog.com is where it's at for vintage adventures - I can thoroughly commend it - lovely community too.

Neverwinter Nights Diamond Pack download is a must if you do not have it already, together with all the modules, of which Darkness over Daggerford is the most 'old school' in RPG/Baldur's Gate storytelling goodness.

Oh man, I loved Dungeon Master back in the day, and Chaos Strikes Back. I didn't enjoy DM2 as much though. Wow, 25 years old? - I must've played it when it was 5 or 6 years old (and I was only about 10 or 11 then) and I used to play it with my dad, but have played through it many times since.

Dungeon Keeper was another great game that I revisited recently. And thanks to gog.com, I've also been attacking the classic D&D games too recently - Baldurs Gate and Planescape Torment. Some great games there if you have ever done table top rpg.

A lot of other games I have find memories of, but many of them are seen through nostalgia goggles - in that, after the effort of getting an emulator to work, they don't seem so good anymore. Oh yeh, another one that does hold up well - Eternal Darkness on the GameCube. Awesome!

I think my favorite old RPG would have to be Thunderscape. That game blew me away. The story took me like no other.

I also loved thunderscape. Never found another RPG as gritty as that was! Pure imagination!
