As I am writing this I want to go back to that time in my life and experience this game for the first time again. I had the poster hanging on my wall of the island and the player's guide. You can use it on various platforms like Mac, Linux, and Windows. It mainly supports Xbox 360 but can be used for some other games as well.
However, it is still a usable Xbox 1 emulator for PC that many players still love to play. The realistic images that were only possible by the new fangled CD-ROM (my family's IBM PS1 could barely keep up with the scene transitions and video), the music, the atmosphere, the sense of being alone, the freedom of exploration, the puzzles. Moving further, the Retroarch emulator might not be an ideal choice for playing Xbox One games. With that said I pretty much played all of the classic DOS games mentioned on the thread, but Myst changed my PC gaming experience for life. And also share with others in the social networks. If you like it, leave your impressions in the comments. I know this is rose tinted glasses and childhood nostalgia speaking, but browsing through this thread makes me depressed that I will never be so engrossed and immersed in games as I was during this era. Comments (1) Here you can play game SimFarm Dos in browser online. *sigh* What I would give to go back to the late 80's and early 90's when all of the games in this thread were in their heydays. I even finally paid the creator the shareware cost and he mailed me a hint guide with a map, which made me feel like a kid again. The series was called "Ray's Maze", and the best one of all was called "A Mess O'Trouble." I actually managed to play this again a few years ago using a friends' iMac and a pre-OSX Mac emulator. I want to give a shout out to a series of games made by a single guy using an adventure game creator called World Builder in the early/mid-90's. Not like I could play them again now, anyway.
It was a few years later when I realized that the photocopied manual he gave me so I could enter the password to load my save file was a form of copy protection.) Anyway, I had a ton of fun playing these free/shareware games, but I have no idea what most of them were called. (He also gave me a few pirated games like King's Quest V, but I didn't know that they were pirated at the time.
One of my uncles was a Mac user as well, and would give me a ton of freeware and shareware games. I did get the Mac version of the LucasArts collection which included Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, and Sam & Max Hit the Road, which were all amazing. I grew up with Macintosh computers (A Macintosh SE and then a Mac Performa) so I didn't play most of the PC games unless a friend happened to have one.
