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 :)

Im 30 and i played Doom on PC a lot and Descent. I still have the poster that came in the Doom box, has a ton of signatures on it but im pretty sure they are printed on and not real. either way its cool and im keeping it forever or till it crumbles to bits since its been abused several times when i have moved and just tossed stuff into random boxes

oh and the original Pitfall was pretty cool too lol. and the remake on sega genesis was pretty fun also

I'm 29. My first PC games were Carmageddon, DanDare and Robocop. Later, when I got my own PC in 1999, I got Extreme-G2 and Turok 2 as a gift for buying Riva TNT =) Those were the days... =) Also there was Re-Volt, brilliant game which has been recently re-released for iOs and Android =)

27 and I became a "PC" user relatively late. I had an Amiga 600 until I got myself a kick-ass Intel 486 DX2 (couldn't afford the Pentium 2 which was recently released).
I guess my first games on DOS among others were Ski or Die, SkyRoads, Jazz Jackrabbit, Carmageddon and Duke Nukem 3D, but it wasn't until I played the LucasArts adventure games I truly fell in love with computer games (I had gotten a taste of it on the Amiga, playing the first Monkey Island, but I was too young to understand English, making it hard to solve most of the puzzles.)

Adventure games 4 lyf!
