I remember having Windows 3.1 on my comp. There was this submarine game that I remember, but that's pretty much it about PCs for me until this century.

My Cousin's had that! We always loved running in place then stepping off the pad for the long jump. Man, good times.

Was it Riptide? I know for a fact it runs beautifully in DOSBox, as I own it.

Or possibly Discoveries of the Deep? I also own that one, but the disks are shot because they're only good for three installs as an anti-piracy measure and my mom used them all up trying to put it on our computer when we were kids. It was a terrible, terrible "game," though. It featured, I shit you not, real-time, real-life navigation and minigames to tide you over for the literal days of nonstop time it would take you to reach your destinations.

Basically, that short stint were all the really good games could only be found in the 'cades. There was just something about the experience of ducking into the semi-darken alcove that was endearing.

Or at least it was for me.

I still hit up those games when I can find them. While I enjoyed my Vectrex and NES, the best home gaming was SNES and PS1 for me.

Nothing will ever replace a hole in the wall arcade though. If I had the money I'd open one next to the local college.

I really miss the Win95 era, playing Tyrian, Jazz Jackrabbut and Extreme Pinball in my dad's Pentium PC ^_^

That one too :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hover!

It is still available from Microsoft and will run on all of Microsoft's operating systems released since Windows 95, including Windows 7.

Enjoy ^_^

At least I can run these through DOS box (except Hover!, it works fine), and I got Tyrian in my phone ^_^

Heh, my first experience was with the Sega Genesis and Road Rash. Best game ever for the time. After that I got my first console, an N64 and spent years with Zelda and Jet Force Gemini. I dunno. Something about the 64's graphics just really gets me. Surprisingly clean despite the tech at the time. Never really seen an overly pixel-y n64 game.
