Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: in which I come very late to the game

[quote name="up with pod people"]1. <b>joust</b> - I was a child of less than ten on vacation in Hawaii, and the hotel arcade was more interesting than sweaty heat and dusty palm trees. it was then I decided that quarters were the Perfect Money -- US quarters especially, with their proud eagles. I hoped one day to be able to receive lottery winnings in quarters, poured into an empty swimming pool. after coming home, <i>I wrote joust fanfiction</i>. years later arrived MAME and it was kind of like winning that lottery. 2. <b>torment</b> - recommend: setting it up on the TV and playing it like you're watching a movie. If you can stand the resolution. 3. <b>star control II</b> - I still play the music and I will still play my brother in rounds of melee and destroy his kohr-ah with the most irritating fleet of arilou skiffs ever. 4. <b>heroes of might and magic III</b> - gathering shit in this game is like coming home on hallowe'en with a full sack EVERY TURN. 5 is a worthy successor but 3 is comfort food. 5. <b>city of heroes</b> - great costume generator.[/quote]
