Jezzball was a favorite.

Skyroads. Lemmings.

Nowadays you can play lots of these games online.

Wow, didn't recognize the first 2, but just enjoyed a wave of nostalgia when seeing Commander Keen.

+1, Commander Keen was pretty awesome. I vaguely remember my dad locking access to it with some DOS access control program. Twas the first program I remember figuring out how to circumvent :P

Keen….takes me back

I stopped playing computer games years ago, but I have very fond memories of Commander Keen, Keen Dreams, Duke Nukem, Crystal Caves, Wolfenstein 3D, Police Quest and a few more.

I don't know if it's just me but there is something about those games from yesteryear that have an appeal that the new games just don't have. Today's action games are too intense, require way too much time and way to much processing power. It's just not appealing to play a game that requires that much dedication and involvement...

Ah, yes, Wolfenstein on my 286 processor did run quite choppy

I loved that game. It took a while, but eventually me and my brother finished almost all the levels.

+1 on wolfenstein! Great game.

Totally forgot, but yes, I played police quest, Prince, Duke Nukum, and some other Sierra games, don't remember all of them. Oh, forgot. I also played TIM (the incredible machine). It was a great game(google it). There is a similar game for iPad now.

I remember when we played "Gaper" an old time DOS, which was actually designed to test how fast the computer was.
