[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 8992441, member: 6750306"] I've got one of those generic Atari-shaped things with the 300 games on them, and I occasionally bust it out and screw around with some of the classics. Gauntlet - any incarnation of it - is one of my all-time favorites, and I refuse to have a copy of it on my home computer for the same reasons alcoholics don't keep booze around, lol. (On the Reaper forum, one of my catchphrases is, "Green Skull needs food badly...", when I stop posting to go eat...) A few months back I found out you can play Tetris online, and that game was always one of my biggest time sinks - back in the day when it first got big in American arcades I was pretty much competition-level good at it. I could have paid for grad school and financed my retirement with all the quarters I dropped into that machine. Thief is another favorite as well. I used to play Diablo (the original), Planescape, Neverwinter Nights and some of the other old D&D games on Steam, stuff with smaller screen dimensions than modern monitors, but then they started changing the size of my desktop on me when I closed them out, and that got really annoying so I stopped.
