I was actually playing Police Quest III a few months back... I remember when that game came out I thought it was so cutting edge.

At any given moment I have a X-Com game going.  Lately I've been revisiting the Quest for Glory series.

Frontier Ellite anyone? I might make a Panther Clipper for freespace, sure would 0wn with its Large particle accelerator. Yup, sure was a great game, I still know most the star map.

And transport tycoon.  I played that for 31 hours in just 7 days.  And that was a school week
:lol:

And starcraft of course.  I wonder how many zerg I had smoked with my seige tank and bunker combo's... thousands. Ten thousand? Twenty?

I did consider making some mods based on the ships from Frontier but after looking at the manual I realised that they were actually so simple that either I'd have to completely reinvent them or end up with 50 poly ships :)

Just picked up Spectre VR, an old favorite of mine, from HOTU and it actually works on my current computer.

I spent many hundreds of hours with this and its sequels about ten years ago; a very, very cool series. Problem is, I cannot get any of them work on the computer I have right now. :(

I talked about D2 earlier on; played through that, its expansion pack and some of the user-made missions very recently...

Best game ever. I traded in my Panther Clipper for an Imperial Courier and started military missions in the Imperial sector, by this point I'd been playing the game for about four months solid. I loved it and can't wait until something more tangible is released about Elite 4.
