    What are some fond memories of video game playing you had when you were younger? What games do you miss playing (either because you don't have them anymore or have little time).

    Some of mine:
    -Myst
    -Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance/TieFighter/X-Wing (the simiulator joystick ones)
    -Star Wars: Racer
    -Indiana Jones (can't remember the name of the game)
    -Age of Empires
    -Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit


    Don't laugh:
    Treasure Mountain
    Treasure Mathstorm
    Treasure Cove
    Cross-Country Canada
    Lion king Disney Games
    Oregon Trail
    Maya Trail
    Amazon Trail
    African Trail
    Spelling Jungle

    Street Fighter on the SNES, BUT only if it's a memory of playing it with Caitlin. Those Saturday and Sundays stuck at the Flea Mart when other kids were free to sleep in, etc. were only made manageable by that SNES Caitlin had. XD

    Lufia series as well. I often replay them because they're just amazing, and it also reminds me of the Flea Mart.

    They actually have a web based version of Oregon Trail online. I played it like 6 months ago. It's run completely by the website, just as it originally was. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Final Fantasy IX :love: (hence the username)

    Even though it's over ten years old and doesn't have the graphics and technology of newer games, it's still one of my all time favourites.
    I even splashed out for a new copy a few years ago when my original got scratched.

    - Mall Tycoon. (LOL)

    And that game with the beavers/otters something. What was that? there was like a game with ice cubes, cutting wood, and outer space, and they lived in a tree and there was catchy music? OMG That is going to be bugging me for so long.
