An updated version of "Sam & Max Hit the Road," 1993, has been released by
gog.com for the latest operating systems. Make sure your system can handle
it--it's 114.4 MB.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_%26_Max_Hit_the_Road"do you remember the first D&D for computers?"
I got my first PC for a DAW in 2002. The first game I played all the way
through was "Vice City" (which I still love). I've just dabbled in some PC
games. I've never owned a console and don't like gamepads or play multiplayer.
I haven't played all the games on that one web page listed earlier--just the
ones I covered more with the rest of a series added for thoroughness. The
other pages at the site have walk-throughs for games I've played more--I'm
still working on a walk-through for "IV" (I finally got a new PC earlier this
year).
http://glenster1.webs.com/I got "Morrowind" free with one of my first graphics cards but some people
are a lot more familiar with D & D than me. Toegoff is one of the better
"Let's Play"ers whose experience with D and D games goes back to the paper and
pencil days.

Glenster, I have a friend who would LOVE your site, I'll pass it on. He likes the different cars and such, and was just showing me some stuff on his GTA 2 weeks ago when he was working on my system. I really enjoyed GTA and Vice City, too, Morrowind was a pretty good RPG, but for me it was kinda 'meh'. I am a WarCraft III lover! It's really the only PC game that I really got into. Diablo2 is pretty good, and I have a copy of NeverWinter Nights that I'm going to start. It's an older RPG, but has so many levels and facets that there is a lot of game play there.
It would be kinda fun to 'go retro' and play that old paper and pencil game, but I think, hard to find a group of folk to do it with.
I checked out Toegoff's vids ..... interesting, and I'll pass that youtube channel on to another friend who enjoys trying out the older games.
Thanks, you always post interesting stuff. Especially love your movie threads. :))

Glad to be of some use! I wasn't ss fond of Morrowind as some either (where
are the 'cycles? Where are the radio stations? Where are the funny peds?) but
I'll look at those other RPGs. (One take on Morrowind I had is it's the life
of a drug addict. Think of it: he's always breaking into houses and killing
people to steal their stuff, takes it to the pawn shop for money, takes the
money to extortionists for his "power ups," and everywhere he goes everything
looks surreal. One odd thing for a drug addict is he only like listening to
shopping music.)The web page with coverage, if not walk-throughs, of a lot of games has some
other links to videos by RPG players for Neverwinter Nights and others and some
seem pretty experienced. -

If we're going to go proper old school, has anyone had the pleasure of playing Commander Keen?
I remember when I was about 9 or 10 my brother and I built our very first computer from scratch and were obsessed with this game.
