    Yeah, but it is a Good Old Game. The site sells older games than that, without looking at their other games, Ultima would be a contender for the oldest game with a release of 1981.

  That list evokes such a deep sense of nostalgia.

    Totally. And makes me feel old.

    Some of these were so awesome.

    But for me, buying them would be only to experience a 5 minute trip down memory lane. I don't think I'd be able to play one of these entirely. They're too dated, not just in graphics but gameplay also. If they were 99 cents each on the other hand, it would be an impulse buy.

      I dunno, I recently purchased and played through Wing Commander III. Still a great game, and an excuse to dust off the old joystick. The cut scenes helped, and I'm looking forward to playing through WC4 when I get the chance.

      $2.39 is a pretty good price for a game that is a few solid hours of gaming.

        The cutscenes were high budget at the time, by video game standards, but they're cheesy as hell now.

      Yes and no.

      2D games have aged much better than the 3D ones. Here are some of the games I own from GoG.com that I was able to play and enjoy even after all this time.

      I'm hoping to play some of them on my Nexus 10 Tablet when it arrives, I'm not sure which ones will work. Hopefully games like Sim City and Theme Hospital where it is 99% mouse operated.

    Theme Hospital will always hold a spot close to my heart.
