Sometimes I wonder what would happen if some of the things we think are risque were transported back in time.  If Beatle hair cuts was rebellious, what would they have done about some of the haircuts, tattoos, piercings, etc kids get today.  I almost think they would have exploded due to how over the top the stuff would be compared to then.

42 here--First and foremost a Turn-based Strat, PC-gamer.  Nothing will beat chess of course, but I have been yearning for the "next" true sequel to Master of Magic (MicroProse) from back in the day since I dunno when.  And Elemental is very much the next evolution to that previous wonderfully made MSDOS game.  Thank you StarDock for continuing to improve this game with each patch---and it IS getting better.    Please keep up the great work at communicating with your consumers and in the effort you all are pushing forth--it's very much appreciated. *thumbs up*  

And even though my C64 evokes some pretty cool nostalgia, I'll stick with my current i7-gaming rig for my gaming needs. 

Ahhhhh, many many hours of "Sea Battle" on the intellivision with a now gone friend .  We were in our 30s and those were high tech graphics

Twohawk that was mine too then went to c128, I remember Aces High (WWI air combat with a sweet bomb dropping mini game) Movie Monster!!!! <---- AWESOME game. Airborne Ranger, and this sweet ninja game I forget the name.....   I'm only 30.

I think Monopoly took the longest to load on the order of 20 mins lol, good times.

Wanna relive those days in a small way check this out....   http://papermodels.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/commodore-sx-64-paper-model/

My first games were with a C64 and tape drive.  I used to type in the "bonus" game code that came with computer gaming magazines.  Syntax errors still give me nightmares!

The SX 64 was freaking awesome. I was resident adviser at a catholic collage.. I used to set up in the common room and draw a crowd this was one of the earliest portable (IE before lap tops) and had 16 colors which was amazing at the time..  ahh good times games like:

Phantasie
Revenge of Defende
Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny
Robbers of the Lost Tomb
Leather Goddesses of Phobos
Summer Games
Realm of Impossibility
Hillsfar
Adventure Construction Set
The Seven Cities of Gold

 man these were the bee's knee's

Remember trying to get the old DOS games to run by fiddling with CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, loading things into HIMEM, etc.?

Best accomplishment a friend I had (well, my friend did it, I just watched) was to get Falcon 3.0 and Mig 29 to work together over a null modem cable.  Falcon 3.0 came out in '91, Mig 29 musta been '92 or so.  They were cutting edge at the time, and a lot of fun to fly against a friend instead of a computer foe.  Add in the old Thrustmaster rudder pedals, programmable stick and throttle (at least I think the throttle was out at the time), and it was a good time.

Lets not forget expanded vs extended memory...god who thought that shit up.

I'm going to have nightmares now. Thanks.

Glad we don't have to deal with that crap anymore.

You also didn't play any games after the 2gs since apple forgot they used to have games on thier machines...god those old MAC's were awful.

My first game was on an IBM 360 back about 1969.  A naval wargame -- wrote it myself in Fortran IV on punch cards.

That's mostly true but you mustn't forget Dark Castle.  Oh yeah, also an excellent game called Fool's Errand.
