Thanks DreddMetal, fixed now. Moved under Megadrive.

 

Oh, and how can I forget the amazing Ultima Series from Origin, by Lord Garriot.

Do not forget some of the newer classics on the pc like unreal torn and half life. Not "that" old compared to some of these lists but i think like doom key times in game design.

 

Oh I won't forget Half Life! I remember going out to buy a voodoo2 card just to be able to play it on something other than software rendering. Boy was it worth it. Remember being sat in the techies room at my sixth form with my voodoo2 plugged into one of the spare machines and watching the intro as you go on the train.

I remember a game on the Amiga 500 called Soccer Cards.....quite an utterly pointless one, but still quite fun when you are young!

 

My first real "games console" was a Master System, and there are a couple of classics on there. Sonic was uber, as was a game called "Afterburner" but the one that tops it all off, and it was in built.....Alex Kidd in Miracle World....uber addictive!!
