i´m 16 and I remember playing empire earth (well it´s not technically from the 90s, but old enough, right?) with my father when I was around 8 years old. It´s definately still one of my favorite games even though I´m not really into strategy games all that much

Little Big Adventure was fun. I don't remember many DOS games, but I played a ton of games on Amiga. Mortal Kombat 1/2, Monkey Island, Lotus, Desert Strike, Gunship, Flashback, Another World, UFO: Enemy Unknown, Civilization, Settlers, Moonstone, Benefactor - I loved them all and many more! Those were the times. :)
PS. I'm 25.

My favourites from back then were the Wing Commander, M1 Tank Platoon (and the sequel but that wasn't a DOS game), Civilization, SimCity, Their Finest Hour, Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe and some of the MicroProse sims like F117A Stealth Fighter, Gunship 2000 and M1 Tank Platoon.
I still have the boxes, manuals and discs for a few of these. The LucasFilm and Microprose manuals are massive. :)

Scorched Earth probably or Heretic.. Well I enjoyed King's Bounty and Sim City a lot as well, used to go to the Library and download games from sites like underdogs to my Floppy Disk :)
My first native windows game was Fragile Allegiance (you should grab it from GOG if you're fan of the genre).

Turning 30 in October (got the old man blues). And I loved Prince of Persia on my 286. That's the first game I played.
After that came my 486 with Warcraft: Orcs vs. Humans, Crusader and what I remember most fondly: Fatal Racing. :D

25, grew up on DOS games. My faves I actually had never played until the past couple years - X-COM, System Shock 2, Star Control II. But when I was a kid I loved Commander Keen (4 especially), the original sidescrolling Duke Nukems, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Jetpack, Castle of Dr. Brain, Jill of the Jungle games, One Must Fall 2097. Top fave was always Ultima Underworld, gave me nightmares. That game was so ahead of its time.

When the first GTA came out I was working at an internet gaming cafe (the first one in the US, Cybersmith in case anyone remembers the chain) and we were running windows 95 on all the PCs there. It was 95 native. We used to have lan games of GTA after hours when we got bored of playing Quake on the MIT server xD Yes, quake.mit.edu used to be a thing. We had 3xT1s and like a 12 ping to it, so it was our stomping grounds.

I'm 36... so I grew up playing atari and trs-80. I moved on to the Commodore 64/128 and really cut my teeth on that system.

I'm 21, and when I was very young I played a lot of Lemmings on what was then my family's 'old' computer. A few years later, I was sifting through all my family's old floppies looking for anything that might be even remotely interesting, most of it was just old spreadsheets and things of my dad's, but then I came across a floppy marked KEEN in his writing, I had no idea what it was but lo and behold it contained Commander Keen. I remember being super happy, not just because Commander Keen proved to be awesome, but because I was surprised my dad used to play cool games too, haha.

Im 27 and after reading some posts about favorite games and intros and seeing that most of the responses were about games that aren't even seven years old Im curious about the age demographics of this site.
So, seeing that most of the people is below my age, I wanted to know how many people here actually enjoyed the 90's computer games, specially those we had to run in MS-DOS with the "setup.bat" and "dir/p" and all the joy that came in that era!
I would say that its impossible to choose one fav, so you can say many as you want. The ones that I most love and renember are:
-"Alone in the Dark" (The original trilogy) This game sold me Survival Horror as my favorite game genre.
-"Crusader: No Regret" (and No remorse) Ninth crusade! Do I need to say more?
-"Bioforge" As I said, I love Survival Horrors/adventure games.
And obviously the full legacy of LucasArts, ID software and Sierra! (But mentioning that is obvious to all of us!)
For the younger ones, Any classic game that you discovered via GOG.com or Steam that became one of your favs o really impressed you?
EDIT:
Another thing, How many of you had in that time the famous SK8 pirate CD with lots of games inside?
EDIT 2:
Well, it seems that the SK8 CD wasn't that famous :P but I like the general consensus by all the generations of gamers that Doom is one of the best and timeless games ever. Also its nice to know that there is a good diverstiy of ages in this website :)
