Sam
& Max: Season One
So glad that Lucas Arts put out another in this series. This sequel to
Sam & Max
Hit the Road
came out in 2007, 14 years after the original, but surely worth the wait. It's
like spending time with dear old friends.
My
initial attraction to the digital world was with computer games. I was fascinated
with what was being done with computers in those days of Zork, Sierra's King's
Quest Series, the funny Sam and Max games by Lucas Arts, and the list goes
on.
Here's a dozen of my favorites, and a special
King's Quest 2 FREE DOWNLOAD from AGD Interactive!
King's
Quest VI
Offered in this package as part of a collection, Sierra's King's Quest 6 was
the first full "talkie" I
played, and deservedly still ranks high. Professional voice actors, clever puzzles,
good plot, and a big dose of humor make for an experience you'll want to live
again and again.
Gabriel
Knight Sins of the Fathers
Another great adventure game from Sierra. Set in New Orleans mixing Voodo and
Germanic themes, Gabriel Knight was another full talkie, and one of the most
sophisticated PC games of its time.
Monty Python's Looney Bin
Two award winning games in one package.
Complete Waste of Time and The Quest for the Holy Grail
Gamer or not, if you're a Monty Python fan at all, you will be thoroughly entertained.
Twinsen's Odyssey
If I were hard-pressed, Twinsen's Odyssey
would take the prize for the one best adventure game ever.
Good story, fantastic characters,
lush settings, challenging game play, engaging music, humor, and just a smidgen
of violence make Twinsen's Odyssey a blue ribbon winner.
Caesar III
Hours of play in this ancient Roman city-building sim. Wonderfully detailed structures
grow with the passage of time. You're in control trying to keep it all
from falling apart. If you enjoy a challenge, but not shoot-em-up style game
play, a sim like Caesar III is for you.
The Longest Journey
One of the last great adventure games. Year 2000's multiple award winning Adventure
Game of the Year. Starts out kind of slow, but if you stick with it, by the
end you'll wish The Longest Journey was even longer, still!
Police
Quest 4 — Open Season
This collection also includes:
Police Quest 1 — In Pursuit of the
Death Angel
Police Quest 2 — The Vengeance
Police Quest 3 — The Kindred
— Windows XP Compatible
The Neverhood
One of the most unique games ever. The whole game uses claymation for scenes
and characters. The Neverhood is hard to come by these days, but a classic
that shouldn't be missed! Not much dialogue here, but you'll love the soundtrack.

Bad Mojo: Redux
In Grim Fandango you play a grim reaper. That's a little higher up
the food chain compared to the cockroach you maneuver in Bad Mojo! Awfully
strange, yet awfully beautiful to look at, this game crawls to a different
drummer. Stay off the flypaper!
Grim
Fandango
Where do these game designers come up with these ideas? In Grim Fandango, all
the characters are dead, and the hero is a grim reaper! I'd say maybe just
a little on the quirky side, but guaranteed loads of fun!
Full Throttle
By today's graphic standards, this game may seem crude. However, it's another
quality work from Lucas Arts that was all the rage in its day. After all, The
Flinstones are a little crude by today's animation standards, but that doesn't
keep us from enjoying the show.
Getting these classic games to play on Windows XP or
Vista
In some cases, it's just a matter of changing the game's .exe file properties
to make it compatible with Windows 95.
But you may also need an emulator called
DOSBox,
a free download. Once DOSBox
is installed on your desktop, you can just drag the game's .exe file onto the
DOSBox desktop icon, and your game should begin. There's tons of more information
at the DOSBox site.
