Maybe because you're too much of a noob to have ever played DOS games? :p

I still pick it up every now and then.

The Ur-Quan Masters version for Windows?

I played Doom, Descent II, and lots of Scorch since we could fit it on a floppy and play it on anyone's computer without having to load anything.

Unfortunately, I never played any of the Monkey Island or Wing Commander series...which is too bad because it's hard to get into an outdated game you're not familiar with. The graphics are just too old, unless you played the game previously and liked it.

yeah the 4th one was so buggy I just stopped playing. the game kept crashing once I solved the swamp puzzle. he would get to the house and just keep paddling forever, never getting off of the damn raft. I finally just gave up.
