Anyone remember Return to Zork? I remember being blown away by the 'FMV' (was all the rage in the day) when I got my Olive Multimedia kit. Gone are the days of selling CD-ROMs kits that included soundcards and software bundles.
Yeah, that game was awesome!
I remember a forrest area (I think) with really beautiful ambient music, games like that, and Myst etc; were very haunting in a subtle way, lovely.
Yes, when I buy graphics cards I get a free game (which usually sucks) and a driver CD, and wow, maybe Acrobat Reader.
But what bothers me, at least with graphics cards, is that they should include the Nvidia or ATI tech demos on the CD, they're free.

Eh? Well I didn't see it.
I admit I didn't look terribly hard to find if there was one, either.

Jones™ Life in the Fast Lane and mostly, Quest for Glory 
That game was the best thing ever. Not even sure why if I look at Oblivion, but it was just better.

If it's the one im thinking about, that game was addictive, ahhaha, God that brings back a flood of memories!

Oh yeah We had a small LAN at a friends garage, nearly 12 hour Doom 4 player matches, insane.
Those were the days!

I remember many hours of playing 1 on 1 Doom death match or co-op.
Starting at 5pm and then wondering why the heck the sun was coming up a few hours later
Those were the days...
