I recently noticed that Commander Keen was available on Steam and I was having such a big case of nostalgia when I played it again. And then I started searching for videos of other old game I loved back in the day but had almost forgotten about.

I also loved: The Games - Winter Challenge, Sokoban, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures, Secret Agent and King's Quest VII. I also spent hours watching my brother play Golden Axe, the very old Command & Conquer, Duke Nuk'em and Wing Commander 3. Ah, good times.

What are your most nostalgic game memories?

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. All of it. I love that game so much.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy :3 Kitana forevah

Mario 1-3 and Duck Hunt. >.>

Moon Patrol. First video game I ever owned, on Atari 2600, because my parents gave up and bought me and my brother one because it was cheaper than constantly putting quarters in the arcade machines. Missile Command and Jungle Hunt are also big in my gaming nostalgia, in particular.

Also in the early/mid-80s, when a bunch of our friends also had Ataris, one of them had Combat and every single time he said he was the US and whoever his opponent was, we were the Russians. Ahh, the 80s...

And in the arcades, Double Dragon. My brother and I ate that game up. Beat it so many times, and we both agreed that it sucked that you had to fight each other at the end - come on, you're brothers who just battled your way through a gang of martial arts thugs to save the girl, why would you then fight OVER her? - so by mutual decision we took turns beating it, while the other person just jumped onto the spikes. XD

Cosmo♥

I still love a ton of the old DOS games. I will DL and play some every so often.

The old text games Hugo's House of Horrors, I played those so many times.

Haha, I always tried to play the Hugo games when I was a kid but being ESL and only in my second year of English at school at that time, it was a little hard to play text based adventures XD

Oregon Trail. Eccho the Dolphin.

I was going to say Commander Keen, but you already mentioned it.

There are fan-made mods as an end to the series that are quite fun. You even get to fight Mortimer McMire in the end!

Really?! That's awesome, I need to search for those!

Under each of the titles is a link to the main article for that game which will give you a download link on the right-hand side in the quick-facts section.

To play these games, you'll need to run them through a shell. I use DOSBox, and I've never had any problems with graphics or sound or lag on Windows or Linux. I have no idea how they'd perform on a Mac.

Apparently Ocarina of Time is old-school, so let's go with that, heh.

At this point, anything before 2006 is old-school, though it's a matter of degrees. Old-school used to be mean anything before 1999. Before that it was anything before 1990.

Man. How rude of it! I demand that 'old-school' go back to the early nineties, I'm not yet willing to accept that something I first played as a teenager is now old-school.

I still play Doom now and then -- though, increasingly, it's only around December. That's partly because of tradition -- I usually play some form of sci-horror game around that time, Doom included. But that tradition started because Doom came out on December 10, 1993, and I make a point of playing a few maps around that time.

Thief: The Dark Project!! Used to pull all the curtains and make the room dark. So scary but so awesome.
