Here's my top 10 list of my all time nostalgic games. These games
are
what I grew up playing. Please share your top 10 as well as your
favorite memories with these games.

Mine:
10. Mario Paint (SNES)
9. Warcraft II (PC)
8. Landstalker (Genesis)
7. Golden Eye (N64)
6. Tekken (PS)
5. Sonic Adventure (DC)
4. Super Mario World (SNES)
3. Super Smash Brothers (N64)
2. Pokemon Blue (GB)
1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

These are "nostalgic" games?

Way to make me feel old, ***.

LOL! I was going to ask if 42 is still childhood or not myself? <G>

Sheeeeet...in no particular order...

- Lode Runner on the school's Apple IIe
- Pong & Grand Prix (B&W block squares on a very old console of some sort)
- a couple hand-helds I saved my pocket money for months for (tank & sub
battleship-type games with red LCDs lol)
- Sun Tzu's The Art of War (on a company laptop in my early 20s)
- Supaplex on my 1st PC - killed over 1000hrs (lterally) on that one
- D-Generation was another one from memory that was a lot of fun

As far as the PC goes, I was a late bloomer & didn't get my own 386DX40
until I was well into my 20s. The first love affair I had was with the
early Sierra classics + Gold Box & EoB series (on Uni & mate's PCs). Later
on, on my own PC, games like Star Control 2, Syndicate, Stunts!, Gunship
2000 & Doom blew me away. My nostalgia is post-childhood really then :)

Nostromo

Seeing Star Control 2 on your list reminded me of Startflight 2. That
was a great game for the PC. Being able to land on plants and gather
minerals, life forms. Space battles. Scanning planets to make sure
it had good stuff and the gravity wouldn't kill you. It had the works.
I've still got my copy with the 5.25" floppies.

Sea Battle for the Intellivision was great also.

Speaking of the Intellivision, for those that don't know, many of the
original devs and programmers have a site at
http://www.intellivisionlives.com.
They've got some free ports there for some of the more popular games,
including Astrosmash and AD&D Treasure of Tarmin, plus you can buy a
CD cheap with, something like 20 games on it. All are Windows apps,
so no emulation needed.
