I never had a game console, but I had a PC with CD ROM... a 386 SX box from 1992-1997, then a Pentium MMX from 97-2000... I had the combined Populous 2/Power Monger CD... loved those games.
Had a couple of those, albeit Genesis-branded. I remember loving how Road Rash let you turn off the music (but not the sound effects) so you could just play your own tunes. My brother and I played a lot of it with :Wumpscut: on.
Never played Herzog Zwei, but in my head it's a shooter written by Werner Herzog and I never want that to change.
