Remembering great old PC games

I remember the first computer we had - it was this IBM thing, everything was DOS based and I thought that having an A:/ drive was the coolest thing since all the computers at school used B:/ drive floppy discs.

There was one RPG game we had called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (obviously based off the movie) and it was the hardest mofo of a game I've ever played. Mind you I was young back then and the only computer games I'd played were math puzzles. I spent many afternoons with my cousins and my sister playing that game. I think I finally went back to it and beat the thing on my own when I was about 10 or 11. Yup - I'm a geek!

Another favorite classic PC game of mine was King's Quest V. There was a time when I had the entire desert map memorized and could navigate all 4 of the oases safely without killing King Graham. We had all of the 8 of the King's Quest games cuz my sister and I enjoyed them so much. KQ7 was the easiest, most mindless thing I've played to this day; but KQ8 was the death of the franchise. I was never a fan of first-person-shooter, dark 3D games like Doom and Wolfenstein and I didn't get very far in KQ8.

Anyhow - I was bored today and found that Infamous Adventures has released a "re-vamped" version of King's Quest 3. It's been "modernized" to look like the KQ5 (and the officially revamed KQ1) interface. I've downloaded it and so far I'm quite amused. I thinkg I still have my KQ companion guidebook somewhere... I have a crazy urge to play ALL of the games again @__@"
