I have a friend (a chick... those who follow my threads started calling her the meth dealers girlfriend) who collects old NES games and plays them alot.
Old: Pirates on both c-64 and amiga 500, I also have fond memories of Panza kickboxing. And of course the monkey Island series, quest for glory I, police quest I & 2, Loom. the list is endless. They don't make em as they used to.
New: Civilization 3 and Knights of the old republic. New games as good as old
