Nice! One of my massive regrets is selling my old consoles over time. I still can't believe I sold my Super NES and N64. :(

Firstly, thanks to the two blokes that sent me the PMs about Sundicate, downloading form both sources now and hopefully I'll be back in 1993 on the Amiga before I know it!


Another cracker, which I do have, is this one:

Stunt Car Racer was awesome. When ya went of the edge a crane would put you back on.

I also played 'Another world'. I still remember being in the cage and then when ya get out the other guy goes "Mar Sum Bar", I can't believe I still remember that!

Sheesh this is taking me back - Always wantede to play the rest of the Leisure suit larry's (only played 1 and 6) and the space-quests (only played 1). The games I want to play now are fallout 1 and 2 - which I have copies of both, but they cannot be played on win XP - 98 only.

Is there any way around this? I think my old man might have an unused copy of windows if I want it - I suppose it would need to be installed on a different hard-drive or could I get some sort of emulator?

The other question is would win 98 work on a P4 3400 with 4GB of ram?

you don't want to install win98 on your computer.

google dosbox and try running fallout through that.

space quest 2 and 3 will run on your xp system no problems. 4, 5 and 6 have timing issues on new hardware and require a bit of stuffing around

If you get DosBox, I also recommend you get the D-fend front end for it. It makes it so much easier to use. It allows you to set up a profile for each game, and from then on all you need to do is double click the icon to run the program.

Man I loved all these games. Damn I wish I could play some of them these days. I used to have the xbox emulator and had all these old school games and it was so fun sitting up all night playing games that I used to play when I was 10. Then the hard drive was accidently erased and I lost all my games :(
I especially loved police quest, leisure suit larry, and monkey island (I have the collectors edition of monkey island so I can still play all of them).
Wolfenstein 3D, Alley cat, street rod, sidewinder and street fighter were awesome!
Another one that I don't think has been mentioned yet that I loved was speed ball. Man that was awesome.
