Ahh yes memories. Bring me back to the days when Sid Meier and Microprose reigned supreme. Koei had a good run of games that I enjoyed. As well the tactics genres that developed on the Playstation were fantastic.

I can remember 18 years old, getting home from work delivering pizzas at Pizza Hut and loading up Final Fantasy Tactics to work on my teleporting samurai 

I remember my best friend living next door and the day I got ahold of the first Warcraft. It didn't work on my comp so we skipped school to load it up on his comp, lol. I remember it was raining that day. Some time later we both downloaded Age of Empires demo, and that was the first time we ever had a game on lan connection. It was really ****ty 14.4 and kept getting disconnected.

I recall War in Middle Earth being one of my very first PC games. It was a delight.

First RPG I ever played, probably one of the first RPG's on the home computer after the Roguelikes.

Big, cuz it's taken from the original box art:

Oh, and Julian Gollop, the guy who did Xcom? First gained fame with this little beauty :

On the subject of early strategy/wargames, anyone remember this:

One of the first co-op games I remember playing:

And one of the most famous co-op games of all time, possibly also one of the only early 8-bit games people recognise from the audio rather than the graphics too:

One of the first games by a UK development team who would later go on to find fame and fortune due to their innovative, open games. Brownie points if you can name them:

And purely for the lulz :

OMFG! I played that in Kindergarten! That game rocked. And then we got Windows 95s in Grade 1 (which was, coincidentally, 1995).

I found a cardboard sleeve case with the CD for Monkey Island in it at a thrift store, never installed it though.

Not to mention a whole bunch of educational games..

 

[Skyrage]

Is it just me or are the boxarts from the old games waaay cooler than from games made today?
