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 :)

I'm 20, I started out with a PS1. Rayman, Sonic, Tekken, Pacman were my first games.
Then ofcourse Pokemon on the gameboy and later on TIF on the PS2. I also enjoyed the getaway on the PS2.
Then ofcourse AoE on the PC and I had a Runescape-moment as well..
Years later, i discovered Steam and there it all went wrong hahaha.
Today, I enjoy Free roam games and RPG games the most.
I'm a huge fan of Assassin's Creed and I remember watching the very first trailer with my nephew. I just had to get that game.
I find it very annoying that I've missed the "DOS-days" because I'd really wanted to see things evolve.
Thank God I learn about this stuff in college!

TLTR: I'm 20 and never played DOS-games

I'm 20. Heh. I loved Myst. I think I've actually only fully beaten it 3 times. Now I want to play it again!
Though, favorite game would have to be Battlezone 1 (came out in 1998). Favorite game of all time. It was designed to run on DOS and Windows I think, so it only partially counts I guess. Regardless! As testament to how awesome the game is, one of the original developers is still maintaining and releasing patches for it, all for free! (www.battlezone1.com)

I had tons of fun with the Space Quest series, Police Quest series and King's Quest series when I was a kid. Mostly King's Quest, though: Saving the kingdom, finding a wife, and then... KQ3... with "the new guy." I think that was the most fun that I played.

...oh. You said 90s.
