this is definitely going to show my age, but anyone remember the old King's Quest series? Sam & Max, Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Zork....
I was a big Origin fan (wing commander, privateer, ultima III+...) but i also liked the adventure stories.
This was early gaming at its best; solid story plus humor.
anyway, this guy redid the artwork for King's Quest III - same story, just updated from 16color SVGA

Pan, I used to play pretty much every Origin game. I actually forced myself to learn english to play Ultima III. I later played Ultima 1-6, Wing Commander 1-4, Privateer 1-2. I still say that company was the best gaming company ever, ahead of Blizz.
My favorites were probably Wing Commander III and Ultima V.

So You Want To Be A Hero?! I loved all these games. When I didn't play them I used to watch my brother play, because I was really pretty bad. I remember having to levitate the ring out of the bird's nest, and also that place in the forest where all the plants are spitting seeds from one plant to the other and you have to try to get the seeds...?! I also played Leisure Suit Larry, which sounds terrible because I was probably about seven or eight at the time. I liked to get the "test" questions at the beginning right because they assumed you were over 18 if you answered them correctly. >:D

Show your age?

Must. Not. Make. Old. People. Feel. Older.
To be honest I've never heard of any of those besides Ultima and Zork. But then again the only computer games I played until I was 18 was Pong and Nibbles.
