Old Video Games

So I got this idea about a week ago:

Buy a REALLY old desktop with a floopy drive and Win95 on it. Then add on all the old fun games I used to play on it. I think it would be tons of fun to return to all those old games.

Duke Nukem, Duke Nukem 3D, Jungle Jill, Goblins (1, 2, 3), Shadow Caster, Oregon Trail, Cosmo, Day of the Tentacle, Toonstruck, Mavis Beacon, DinoPark Tycoon, Quake, Doom, Roller Coaster Tycoon, SimCity 2000.

Am I missing any other golden oldies?

(P.S. I know there are emulators out there, but it never feels the same as it used to.)

(P.P.S. Do you think I could actually load an emulator on the old machine and make it play old Sega and Nintendo games?)

   old Sega and Nintendo games would be easier to play on newer systems. even neo geo. trying to run old pc games is a real bitch in a bitch boat.

   I had a nostalgic conversation about Putt Putt and Pajama Sam a couple weeks ago, but you guys were probably too old for that shit when it was out.

   Diablo!!

   Sega Genesis was my kind of system until I hit like first grade, then I was all over Spyro and Tomb Raider on the PlayStation.

   It is so funny about old games... I have never head of any of those so far. I bet you don’t know some of mine through too...

   greens said: i fucking hate mavis beacon

   In reality, me too. I would load it up and remember that I hate it and realize I learned without it and never do it agian.

    I couldn’t agree more. I some times fire up ScummVM and play old LucasArts games. They are so goooood. I remember Indiana coming in 6 floppies - those where the days. Such great times.

NHL 98 I believe was awesome, Mutant League football and hockey was cool (i think thats the name, I am too lazy to google) Sarges Heroes for sega... and on and on and on.

    LeChuck’s Revenge is the one where Wally the cartographer gets kidnapped and you go to his secret lair. In Secret, you go to his ghost shipped which is moored in lava-filled catacombs.
