Good ol' Amiga

For some reason, as of late, I've gotten back into my Amiga/Commodore nostalgia. I missed playing Turrican, Shadow of the Beast, and Boulder Dash. It came back when recently, I found a Turrican remake, that Shadow of the Beast might be re-released (please give us Beast 3!), and a remake of Boulder Dash coming to the DS.
Anyone else have memories related to these older computers? It's generally where my gaming roots are set.

Or am I just getting older and I'm surrounded by a bunch of young Rayman fans?

Heh, I remember on our first PC... which was an Acer Windows 3.1 PC. We had this nice old DOS game which I loved called Descent. It is a type of 3D game... I miss the old DOS games.
Really this is the oldest thing we had. Unless you count the NES as a computer. XD

I also remember my very first computer, which we still have by the way. It had Windows 95, and it's with it I played Rayman

I honestly wished we had the first Rayman game, it would have ran well on our windows 3.1 PC, and be very fun.
Rayman 3 was my first Rayman game.

Very first, I played Rayman Arena... my brother got that game around 2003... I liked it, I wanted one, we went to the store, they didn't have it, but they had Rayman 3.. so we got that, I enjoyed it well.

Oh yeah, I remember Descent, it was fun until you really far then you realized it was the same thing over and over again.
I actually just picked up one of my games from a while ago that I had for my old G3 imac. It was MDK, a really good third person shooter, I am surprised that it is just barely 10 years old. I think I am gonna go try and find my old sega.

My first PC was a 3.1

We used to do loads of shitty drawings in Paint and play old games on floppies, like this one about a green alien called Cosmo. Then there was this funny game called Xargon where you play a guy who shoots bullets from his chest and he laughs when he dies [not kidding here].
Then I got a Win 95 where we had even crappier games on floppies.
The good ol' days.

And today, many people like I hate floppy disks... XD
They really suck now... nothing can really fit on them now days.

It came into everyone's lives about 25 years ago

DESCENT OWNS
Even though I've never played it.
I tried to download it recently, however, after reading a bunch of stuff about it, but apparently the download site no longer works. Which sucks.

LOL Yeah, I had a 3.1 too. My first games on it were games like Math Blaster, Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego?, and Dinosaur Adventure 3D.

Then I got games like Spectre VR, Rayman, Doom, Capture the Flag, and Liero.

I first had a Commodore 64...and I think I still have it lying around somewhere. It had a Ghost Buster game that I always adored. After I got a PC a few years later, I was hooked mainly on Heroes III, Jagged Alliance 2, Jazz the Jackrabbit 2, UFO Enemy Unknown...to this day, I can play these for days and days, without even noticing it.
