That's actually a pretty good idea to get people to play more. I've been thinking about trying WoW again, and this gives me a pretty good incentive. This seems like a great idea from what other people are saying, also.

LOL it depends. I have a laptop with Windows XP for my older games, and Windows 7 on my main PC. I don't want to upgrade on my main one until I absolutely have to, because it seems they come out with a new Windows all the time and I don't want to keep spending money on the lastest OS. I know...

The first Lands of Lore. I think it could use a character creator, because you could easily make a custom character as easily as using the pre-generated ones. It was a nice mix of a fighting and puzzle game, and I loved all the areas you could travel to during the story. My second choice would...

Sorry to hear that, mkhl, but I'd be a bit mad at you, too. ;) I've gotten in trouble with my parents when I was younger for playing too many games. They hid my Gameboy (the old monochrome one if you're wondering how long ago this was), but I always found it after school and snuck it back into...

I guess I'm a bit behind the times in that I'm just looking into this. I'm interested because I love the Elder Scrolls games, but it sounds like people think the gameplay makes it not worth it. Can someone tell me a bit more about the world and how the gameplay compares to Skyrim? Not too...

A lot of people seem to be Chrono Trigger fans. I liked Super Mario RPG, personally. In fact, I'm replaying it as a ROM. It may not have had as good of a story as Chrono Trigger, but I like what they did with the classic characters, and I enjoyed having Princess (I know her name is Peach, but...

I was a PC gamer, and Sierra and Westwood were two of my favorite companies. I loved King's Quest VI (and if you have not seen it, find a playthrough. Also, the soundtrack is AMAZING). I also loved Island of Dr. Brain and the later Lost Mind of Dr. Brain. I liked the first Lands of Lore and...

fcuco. that's pretty much what I've heard. There's the voice acting, which takes time if you think about all the different things all the characters say in different situations, the de-bugging every section, and, of course, the developers or the companies making last-minute changes. Some of...

I do! I like PC gaming because I can switch between doing things easily. I also like the portability of a laptop. I don't have much space where I live, so my laptop is easy to store or take with me. I hear you on the overheating problem, especially here is SoCal (and we're having a heat wave...

That sounds like a good promotion. I have a friend who was really into WoW for awhile and is thinking about getting back into it; I'll have to show him this. A friend got me to try WoW back in 2008. I tried it, but I found the "get and bring back" quests kind of annoying, and I didn't play for...

I love Steam because you can get some older, hard-to-find games. Plus, unlike DosBox (which is good in and of itself), you don't have to put the games in a certain folder, set up DosBox to play them, and all that hassle. They come ready to play, and Steam is really good about tech support...

Some used game stores have them. I would also check garage sales and such. I've even found a bunch at Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. My best source, though, is Amazon. I've found some old games for really good prices on there. I would also suggest Ebay or Craigslist. People tend to...

At work, but would rather be gaming.
