sergeeo's personal capsule

Digital Personal Shrine 2

My first computer was a IBM PS1! I was 10 when I got it and... I just wanted to play as many games as possible! I had that computer for about six or seven years, but that time seemed like a lifetime. In the pre-internet era you had to squeeze as many stuff from copied disks as possible, and as I didn't really know a lot of people with computerss, I had limited sources of digital entretainment.

I've been listing every game I could run on my computer back in the day, and I'm preparing a quick way to be able to play them all again in DOSBOX:

4D Boxing (loved the character editor)
Chinese Checkers (really bad one!!)
Colorado (I couldn't ever go too far in this one)
Doofus
Double Dragon
Doom (it didn't run on my computer, but... I got to have it)
European Championship 1992
F-15 Strike Eagle
F-29 Retaliator
Fuzzy's World of Miniature Golf
Gorillas.BAS
Grand Prix Circuit
Hard Hat Mack (this one run too fast, as it was programmed for slower CPUs)
Indy 3 (the point and click game)
Lakers vs Celtics
Lotus - The Ultimate Challenge
Lure of the Temptress (great, relatively unknown, adventure game)
Mad TV
Maniac Mansion
PC Basket
PC Futbol
Pinball Fantasies
Prince of Persia
Sensible Soccer (I played this one A LOT)
Snoopy - The Cool Computer Game
Stunts
Super Off Road
Team 17 Arcade Pool
Test Drive III - The Passion
The Patrician (one of my favourite games EVER)
Tour 91
Xenon 2
XMAS Lemmings

I also want to collect some of the old programs I use to have: NeoPaint, Word Perfect 5.1, PC Tools, etc. And of course: Scream Tracker 3.21 and many mod-related utilities!
