VGA Adventure Games - I think text and EGA were in the 80's but the nice cleaned up point and click.

King's Quest

Space Quest

All nice and cleaned up.  No typing, we live in the now mouse: point/click.

Sam and Max Hit the Road

I think someone may have touched on Sam and Max earlier

The humor is of course missed at times and the simplicity is something I would like to see more of now.  I liked kind of feeling the part of a novel you interact with through basic commands. 


Ah, the good old days.

Every other day I would have to eat a The Boss hamburger at hardees. If I remember correctly, The Boss was similar to The Big Mac/Whopper they even had a special tasty sauce. Wish I had one right now  :bluesad:

And this guy started getting some attention.. even before his games went 3d.

Maybe i'm just getting older,but tv really sucks. I missed the days where stations would show random movies from a horror to a western on a friday night  :bluesad:

Despite how cheesy the trailers looked, the films were good.

Welcome back 90's is the greatest topic ever on BMDO. Reading through all this has stirred up so many good memories...

Only in the 90's could they make a song about boners sound so cool and slick.

We live in quite an interesting age. You can tell someone's sexual orientation and level of education from just their interests.

Well,I feel old  :buggedout:

I'll second that thought.  None of those things seem all that long ago and I watched Romeo Must Die the other night. 
Ah, the good old days.
