Nice, I never got a chance to play the Atari 2600 as this was before my time although I did play some Pitfall on a emulator. I remember playing Final Fantasy 1, Dragon Warrior 1-3 and Ultima : Exodus on the NES before I could even read.
I never got a chance to play any of those titles as I didn't have a pc back when I was a kid. C&C looks fun, I love strategy games. Age of Empires was my favorite strategy game, then came StarCraft and Diablo 1 & 2. I still play D2 LOD from time to time.When I wasn't playing the old C&C games, I was playing Dark Colony.
I could play that game all day and never get bored. Tried to play it recently and the sound was all screwed up on the new Windows OS.
I also used to play Legacy of Kain Blood Omen a fair bit.
Right on, yup good games. I recently bought Age of Empires 2 HD off of Steam and I love it! Age of Mythology is another great game as well. I haven't tried Age of Empires Online yet although I want to at some point. Were you old enough to play any old DOS games back in the day? I'll never forget playing Doom 1, Quake 1, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, Hexen, and Daggerfall on my parents PC. Great memories!I used to play Age of Empires 1, and thought AoE 2 was amazing. Hehe. I remember getting my hands on a demo of the original Starcraft. The demo had several campaign style missions in which you commanded Terran colonists fighting off rebel forces, and then unidentified aliens; which turned out to be the Zerg. The demo made those few missions seem so epic, with you being sworn to secrecy about the appearance of these aliens (the character in-game called them Xenomorphs) and these aliens being this unknown threat. I couldn't stop playing it, I'd always read every Starcraft article in PC Zone over and over again, and would constantly talk about it to everyone and anyone who would listen. I was eventually given the full game on Christmas, and on that Christmas I was the happiest kid in the world.
Dragon Warrior 4 was my favorite, it was brilliantly made and way ahead of it's time. I loved the series of chapters with different characters and how they all met up later in the story line to aid the "Hero" character that the Player assumed the role of. It was my Grandmother that actually got me started on the NES as a child, good memories. I remember playing The Legend of Zelda for so long back in the day that a blue spot would stay on the television screen even after the NES was shut off, lol.
Oh, you lucked out finding Dragon Warrior 4 at a flea market. I bought it on Amazon for $60 USD for my Grandmother who still enjoys player her NES. Flea markets are fun, I'm thinking about getting another Nintendo Entertainment System in the future as emulators don't offer the same experience, although I'm not sure how that would work out playing on my 50" Vizio smart tv...
