SNES 9x, snemu, psx, or any of the other millions of game emulators out there. Get a copy of bitcommet and you can download games

You know, I might still have that on CD at home. Remind me later in the week and I'll try to check when I'm at my folks house.

Ha, I was actually gonna mention Oregon Trail. The original one too, not the re-make. How about Leisure Suit Larry or.... damn I can't remember the name of it but it's the space parody with a janitor as the hero.

www.the-underdogs.info/

Biggest Abandonware site. ( software company's have released as free domain so its legal)

You should be able to find most of the games you are looking there legally free.

Space quest. I loved that game. Kings quest too.

Rockstar is allowing free downloads of Grand Theft Auto 1.

^^ Homey, most people don't know there was a GTA that came before GTA III. GTA 1 is a top scroller from 1995 or so, not 3D. It's about as advanced as a NES game. GTA 2 was the same. GTA 3 was 3D and every game since then has been the same.

Get a emulator. You won't be sorry. You can get ATARI and NES games on emulator.

^lol, thats cause it blew... hehe, I actually played it a bit, not exactly a classic though.

I've been playing some games on gametap recently (mainly colin mcrae rally 05), and just googling for old games and abandon ware sites should be the ticket.

^^ It only blew because you didn't play it back in "the day" It was a good game for it's time. It was the only game out which you could jump into a car, get out, shoot people and you could choose your missions or not. It was a great game at the time. I played it more then I played GTAIII or any of the newer ones.
