Another non-PC game is ChronoTrigger, loved that, it was a real shame there was never a real sequel, although I've heard rumours of one for the Wii.

Its funny to see some peoples definitions of "classic" games.. to me thats late 80's early 90's but hey..

Righto ill list a couple from each platform i had around then..

Atari 5200 had this when i was about 7, memory is shot and this is the only game i can remembr:

Missile Command

Amstrad cpc, had this when i was 8 or so.. most memorable games are:
The wild bunch

Cauldron 2

PC.. Pleanty of games i could list but most have been mentioned already..

Dangerous Dave 2

Jones in the fast lane! (my god, out of all the games i had on pc, this was probably my fav, was strictly a turn based multiplayer game with friends.. as a 10 year old this was it.. loved it!

Other than that:
SAM
hocus pocus
monsterbash
super offroad
wacky wheels
simpsons arcade game
monkey island series
indiana jones adventure games
My list could go on and on.. lol.. yeah i was a kid that spent 90% of my free time on the computer playing games.. good times.

First to last

PC games,

8088 (NEC v20)
Friendlyware, a suite of "basica" applications and simple games, it was modifying this that really got me started into programming and a major interest in computers.
Nibbles aka Snake, old school GWbasic game.

80286-16
F19 Stealth fighter, a very engaging combat flight sim for it's time
Upgraded to a OAK 256K card and VGA screen from MDA and a hercules card at this point
Keen, Keen 2 etc
Monster bash
Cosmo's cosmic aventure
Bio Menace (great game is now free-ware and was quite gory for the day)

80386-33
Wolfenstein3d/spear of destiny
Stunts, I STILL play this often thanks to my VDM hacks, sad I know but the game still has a real following.
Stunt Driver
Secret of monkey island, Return to Monkey Island

80486-60
Doom
ROTT (another classic still played from time to time) /ECC /EKG /WWW and watch that blood fly!

Pentium 120 (voodoo1 and Matrox Mystique)
Hexen
Heretic
Duke3d (another game I ripped to shreds and made custom variants)
Quake "bind c Impulse 255" 'ing with quake game-woof (multi-rockets) (Voodoo1!!!!)

AMD K6II-500 with twin Voodoo II's
Unreal (Another game still played occasionally some mods)
Unreal Tournament (Played regularly, heavily modded)

Pentium 4 (Nvidia 6600GT then ATI radeon that kicked it's butt)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (often played, insanely modded)
GTAIII (Hacked apart down a bit)
GTA Vice city (some own hacking)

AMD Athlon 64 6000 and 7800GT (current machine)
GTA SanAndreas (huge mods inclusing customer music and a full suite of vehicles)
Half-life and Garry's mod. Great for time-wasting.

brings me to today where I don;t do much gaming apart from the old Unreal Tournament on the beast and stunts on the EEEPC along with lots of mame and emulation (and yes I actually OWN the Arcade boards of the games and cartridges!)

I had completely forgotten about Jones in the fast lane. Wow. As a kid, it was so cool to play a game where you sent a guy to work. Now, I can think of nothing worse.

yeah i had big flashbacks when writing that up and jones came into mind, hadnt thought about that game in 15 odd years! was pretty revolutionary for the time on retrospect.. Clocked that so many times but never lost its appeal, race of the uni degrees! lol. Being robbed on the way to the bank was never flash though..

Witchhaven, the Capstone one using a very early version of the duke3D BUILD engine?

I'd pulled it apart some time before and played the actual game a bit but not in it's entirety. It was actually quite good for it's day. Another old BUILD variant was Tekwar, a rather odd game overall.

I was more of an 8-bit kid, but when I made the transition to the PC platform, Wolf 3D was the shiznit. Later on, Counter-Strike played over a university LAN was the big thing.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them.
