There was a particular game that I am looking for that I got on a demo disk with a demo for Monster Truck Madness and Diablo but the game wasn't there, most disappointed. Oh well, some really good games there though.

It was a game where you controlled a guy (looked a bit like Johhny Bravo) who was a space ship commander dressed in blue and red. Its an isometric game where you shoot aliens etc. I think the game would have been out between 1995 and 1998.
On that disc were some real gems,
Firefight (Epic Games)
Diablo
Monster Truck Madness
War Wind
and some others that I can't remember their names

I played so many of those back in the day. So many fond memories. A time when I would play the same adventure game over and over again, be cause, well, they were awesome, but I didn't have anything else! The Internet as we know it didn't exist.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is one of my all time favourite games. I hope LucasArts remakes that in HD, similar to the Monkey Island remakes. For bonus points, they can get Harrison Ford in to do the voice work. I can sense the epicness already!

Heretic/Quake/Doom used to make me scared as a lighty...haha.

Loved the first GTA!

I also played a lot of the "Hugo" series games, they came pre-loaded on my 486...

Hugo's House of horrors, whodunnit, jungle of doom...
