I was born in the early 90's, so I grew up playing PC games from the late 90's to the early 2000's. I've recently come across a couple of these games lying around in storage. So far I've found Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoombini's Logical Journey, Jurassic Park 3: Danger Zone, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D (original was for N64), Zoo Tycoon, and Just Grandma And Me. Two other ones I remember but no longer have the disc for are The Oregon Trail and Pokemon Project Studio (Red version, I made so much shit with this). It's been a pain in the ass, but I've managed to get all of these old games running on my computer. It's so much fun going back and replaying these wonderful games that are still wonderful. Currently trying to save all of my Zoombini's the the fucking Bubble Chasm or w/e it's called is being a bitch. /nostalgia

X-Men: Madness In The Murderworld for the Commodore 64. It was awesome because you could play as Nightcrawler and teleport through walls and into boxes like an early Solid Snake.

Before PC I had C64 but I don't really remember any games I played back then.

The "We're Back!" PC game. Spent many a tearful hour trying to get past that damn balloon-and-spikes part on level 6.

That and a bunch of Knowledge Adventure titles. Like 3-D Dinosaur Adventure and so on.

Quite a few of the lego games: Rock Raiders, Racers 1 & 2 (If I recall, 2 sucked compared to 1), Creator, Loco...

A few of the Catz and Dogz games, I still have Catz 5 & Dogz 5, and some other pet simulators that I don't recall now.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2 (which I bought on GOG.com a while ago), Zoo Tycoon, both of the Pokémon studio things (on which I made many Pokémon-themed cards for my parents xD), Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Need For Speed: Underground, Black & White, Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego?, Creatures 3...

I have all of the original The Sims games too, but I think I only managed to collect them all well after the second one was out, so they don't really count.

There was also a strange game called Virtual Safari that I spent quite a while playing. I think it was supposed to be a sort of educational game, but I always used to think it had a creepy atmosphere for some reason.

I know there must be more since I spent hours on the PC when I was younger (well, as long as my dad would allow me to), but I can't think of any right now other than Driver, which we were never able to get working. My mum had some sort of aquarium game too, where you had to feed them every real-life day or else they would die, and there was an automatic feeder for when you went on holiday and stuff. We came back and they were all dead though, so it didn't work amazingly well :P Once they'd died, you couldn't buy the same fish again either, and if you let them all die and never had any of them breed you'd have to reinstall the game to get all the fish back.

I also remember that at the end of 1999 as we were waiting for the clock to tick over to 2000, we sat around the computer, waiting to see if it would blow up or anything... I just remember running upstairs the moment it turned 12:00 midnight, and being slightly disappointed that nothing had happened :P

EDIT: Also, Lemonade Tycoon! I've just found my copy of it :D

Once I had a pentium 1 pc with Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (my fav game back then), Quake, Hercules and Aladdin. Then I got a p2 laptom from my dad with dead batteries. I loved playing Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver on it (there was a time when i beat that game once per day). And later I finally got a normal pentium 4 pc when I was 15 and played Serious Sam 2 and DMC 4 on it.

Funny thing is that "I had" a ps1 with good games on it but I have no (or very foggy) memories playing on it but I remember my dad used to play all the time. Maybe thats why I dont have much memories playing on the ps1. In the end my father sold the ps1 and bougth a p3 pc then my parents divorced and I had nothing for quite awhile...
