A great thread on the Non Sports Gaming forum is the NES/SNES Thread that brought back some great memories from my childhood. There is also a thread that just started up about whether players prefer PC or Consoles. It got me thinking today about what type of player I am and I seem to have always flip flopped between the two.
It wasn't until my parents (foolishly) bought me a computer for college (you can see where this is going) that I really got into PC gaming. I would spend entire nights customizing Neverwinter Nights games and outfitting my Sid Meier Golf courses to perfection. I was remembering these days and decided to go and check out GOG.com (GOG=Good Old Games) which is kind of like Steam but for retro PC games.
I started clicking through the games catalog only to find some all-time classics that I wasted many hours on. You would think I would have learned my lesson about the time I wasted in college but sure enough I wanted to 'see how it worked' and have just bought Rollercoaster Tycoon (another all-time classic game) for $3. Why I do this to myself I don't know but there is just something about these old PC games that will keep me a PC gamer until artritis/dementia kicks in.
Here are some of my all-time PC favs.
