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 :)

Commander Keen 4 would be my favorite DOS game. Also played things like Duke Nukem, Quake and Doom. Though most of my early gaming years were spent playing NES and SNES games. I got back into PC games a little later when the DOS days were over with GTA and Abe's Oddysee.

Turned to age of 22 on May 22nd. Feel old right now. Haven't posted in that thread because it's too hard to choose. One more thing, I didn't even had a PC or console at that time. My first PC I had was somewhere between in 2003-2006. Thought have played console games at friends'. Really liked Contra, Doom (got it on my PC), Mortal Kombat, Top Gun and many others.
