    My favourite classic game was Commander Keen. I really enjoyed the first 3 of the series. Good times... This game's not really that old. The series was made in the early 90's.

    I guess im too young for the 'classic' games, but I remember playing Zelda on my friends SNES (1995 - 4 years young), Gran Turismo 1 on his PS1(1996), and Mario Kart on his n64(1997)...lol...

    I assume you mean N64?

    Ah to relive the days of the Super NES. Those were good times; Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, A Link to the Past and of course the greatest game of all time IMO: Final Fantasy VI.

    Hmm. Pong might have been classic game love. I dated a girl in school just to play Pong on her Atari.

    After that, PacMan, Asteroids, and Centipede. Loved Centipede.

    First PC game was solitaire on Windows 3.1. Didn't "love" it but it was definitely infatuation.

    Then Heretic II, Hexen II, and Land of Lore III. Had a major jones going on with them. Spent a lot of time on those. Then fell in love with Myst. Still think that's one of the best PC games ever. But am currently dating Hexen II and Heretic II again. :p

    I loved the original X-Wing for PC. Also played some Wing Commander.

    Ooh, Myst was a lot of fun too. Never figured out Riven. Maybe I should go back and have another try... if I was a bit older, I think I'd have fond memories of Zork. I've gotta play that through at least once someday. I love the feel of it, just never got around to putting time into it.
