Starcraft - Played that game for about 3-4 years until I let one of my friends borrow it and he hasn't given it back. But oh well, mostly everyone I know doesn't play it anymore.
Weelll, I had a game 'console' before they were game consoles and I used to spend hours hitting a block around the screen at other blocks. Sometimes the blocks were called 'cars' and sometimes they were called 'submarines'. BUT a block is still a block, eh!
The first game that 'caught' me was warcraft II. Forget the commodore VIC 20 or commodore PLUS 4 as they were boring compared to my first PC type game. I was on a ship at the time and went into Timezone in Townsville to use the email and started playing warcraft II. At $10 an hour....... I could only afford to spend $40 at a time but I couldn't wait to get ashore to get in and have a game.
It was also the first game I brought when I swallowed the anchor and got a PC.
DF 1,2 & 3 are my current favourites with TA a close second - I play them constantly.
2 3.5" floppies contained enough game to keep me going for several months...I still love the game, if only I could find it again...
do you remember when they acually cared how big they made the games?
Now it's hmmm...let's not optimize the game, let's just add another 300MB

Nope, never owned it. I'll dig up the old emulator and see what it's like though.
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs for SNES. That game was SO hard, it took me about 3 months to complete the third level, 2 more for level four, and about 2 extra months to finish the game!
I loved the fact that it was one of those games I couldn't beat within two days, that's why I bought it instead of rent it
