DOS BOOT
Instead of sleeping last night, I downloaded and played a number of the old DOS adventure games that I grew up with. Its odd, but I feel way more nostalgia for these old PC games than any of the old NES or SEGA games. I think maybe its because "NES-Culture" is still being parlayed by plenty of Williamsburg Artists types Nintendo itself, and Beck. The Sierra and LucasArts game series, such as Quest For Glory, Monkey Island, Kings Quest or Liesure Suit Larry, take me instantly back to being curled up in front the ole 486.
This game binge fest was brought about by my discovery of DOSBOX, a Dos emulator for both Windows XP and all flavors of MacOSX. Want to get down with it? I linked up everything...
DosBox works great, pick it up here:

That's the second biggest jpg of a floppy disk I've ever seen!
darkseed!! but kudos for quest for glory mention.
bonus it used to be called Hero's Quest but due to a board game of the same name, it got rerelesed as QFG. it had a cool commercial and youtube is letting me down.
SCUMMVM FTW
when i was home unemployed following graduation, i played companions of xanth, the seventh guest, and baldur's gate, just as i had in middle school, except now i didn't feel as nerdy because i've gotten past first base.
