Anybody play Morrowind way back when? I had a blast playing that game. I actually started playing it again recently and forgot why I ever stopped! :mrgreen:

I know why I stopped, Oblivion!
It has fast travel! and those damnable scamps in morrowind could only be defeated by silver or magic weapons.

Ah, true. Although I must say, Morrowind really was a lot different than Oblivion in many ways. For starters it seemed like the game had a lot more rare and/or one of a kind artifacts that could be found throughout the game, despite it all being in the same place, whereas in Oblivion each cave you enter there's a small chance of there being a rare artifact being randomly placed in a chest. There seemed to be a lot more armors, weapons and potions too. I think there may even have been more spells if I'm not mistaken. Still, something about it always made it my favorite Elder Scrolls game.

Hey, does anyone remember a game, where the main units were ships? That was a game about ancient Greece, players had red-white colors and they ned gold and fishes to build small towns. Do you know a title? I forgot its name.

I played a bit of Theme Hospital when I was younger, it was really fun :P

The game unfortunately crashed after several missions so I never finished it, but I still enjoyed it a lot !

ChrisEgg, you're refering to Ancient Conquest. Really cool game considering customization of the ships and three ways of fighting: shooting, ramming and boarding. Also mythological creatures and spells, great stuff.

On the side note you gather fish and amber - not gold :wink:

Has anyone ever played (and liked) Screamer 2 arcade racing game for PC? I just bought it off of Steam (for 10 USD) a month ago. Haven't played it for almost 20 years beforehand (this was my first racing game), and it brought back memories!

With some effort, I completed the hardest tournament track, "Columbia", in time 2:56.64 (with the default 3 lap option) with the "Black Claw" (1996 Pontiac Firebird) car. I thought when I played it when I was a kid that time 3:15 was impossible. LOL.

I recall playing that one too! =)

My heart was long sold to the "Network Q RAC Rally Championship" though - the best DOS racing game with iirc 56mile long track that took at least half an hour of racing to complete, in one go, in DOS times! )

@Krom,

I searched for that game on Steam but couldn't find it. I think there is an ISO version available online elsewhere. Is it legal to use?

Also, I just uploaded this video showing (INSIDE the car-view) replays of my high scores (shortest completion times) for all 7 tracks (which includes "The Tunnel" from the arcade). I time-stamped the video in the video description, just in case anyone tried out this game and wanted to see what times (high scores) are possible (or at least, what times I personally have achieved - - I am sure someone who has raced in this game longer than the last month has potentially shorter times in at least one of these 7 tracks!).
