Ahhh..the good ald days. I found a Commodore 64 simulater a while back and played some of the oldies...was fun for a bit, just the nostalgia. But they got old real fast.
Last but not least: http://www.monroeworld.com/forbiddenforest/game.asp
i would say metal gear solid on psx ( then pc )
yes it maybe kinda new, but it had a story that sucked u into very quickly and dragged u along for the rid. it may have been a short game, but a damn good one at that. the way it was done, the story , the way it played, will probably make people look at the games they now create, that is why i think it is an important game!
it was just freaking good!

Graphics... What's that? 1200 Baud was blazing fast/bleeding edge and a Unix shell with something like Lynx was your gateway to information.
