there's a police quest? was that game anything like king';s quest

I wholeheartedly agree with the following:
Oregon Trail
Carmageddon I & II
King's Quest
Myst series

I'll add:
The Worms Series
Commandos
You Don't Know Jack was a great party game
Scorch (might be older than 10 years)

wolfenstien 3d
rise of the triad
duke nukem 3d
outpost 2

bah, I don't care about the restraints placed on how vintage a game can be...

Wing Commander (series)

Wing Commander in the arcade(i think it was that) was ****ing sweet!

rolex hunt and deal at quiznos were two of my faves.

Is that kind of like paperboy?

Ohh, some good ones eh?

Well, how could you forget Total Annihilation and it's expansion The Core Contingency? Those were some great games.

Other than that, the civilization games, I liked 3 and rise to power.

MechCommander
Worms

Those two were good aswell.

After some police quest games they changed the name to Swat, and the latest is Swat4 i think. Really good :-)

Police Quest 5 was the last I played and best of the series. It had an extremely high production value for its time. Lots of sets, some authentic gritty crime scenes, good voice acting and ambiance.
