My favorite old school games are Pirates!, Wing Commander IV and Silent Service 2. Also a little bit of PT 109, but the campaign mode glitched a bit.

Sooooo many weekends at my grandparents staying up till 4 am playing those 3 games.

I've got Silent Hunter II in my GOG wishlist. Will probably snag it soon, since I'm getting an itch for it thinking about Silent Service.

My daughter stopped playing Kinectamals when the gazelle bearing her name (randomly spawned) was eaten by a lion.

So many tears.

Dragon Warrior Classic was just released:

It may get a C&D soon because while the story is new, the assets are the originals.

This song came up on Pandora this morning and midway through it had me thinking Janes USNF 97 was running.

Reminded me strongly of the menu music.

GOG.com

Good Old Games. They have some newer stuff, indie stuff and tons of older stuff and it is all DRM free.
