I'd like to win Duke Nukem 3D.

I'd love to play Earl Weaver Baseball - but last time I tried on my PC, it was too fast for the game to handle. Using the arrow keys, the cursor jumped from one side of the screen to the other. I couldn't get it to the selection screen to switch the controls to the mouse. Bummer.

The game that I would like to get is Beyond Good and Evil

A few of the (good) old games that I played and loved are both Earthworm Jim's (I can still hear the SQUAK from the birds in the first level), both Abe games (So many memories playing that with my dad when I was younger.... That game is so much harder than I remember!), and the first Rayman game (I can only remember how vivid the sprites were)

The game I'd like to win is Descent & Descent 2. First time I played those games I almost hurled from the vertigo of being able to move around 360 degrees in a 3D environment. Was trippy!

Wow...that's quite the catalog they have there! Hadn't checked it in a while. Great interview too.... Be nice if they added the MechWarrior series as well as the Age of Empire series.

Good article - thanks!

My fav. game is Flatout. and it was just a demo, but had a blast... :)

The game i would like to win is farCry.

(I have never been to that site before... and i play and download a lot of games, i have clasics from doom1 to crysis, i'v been playing since 1993...) and i think i'm going to order some of those games... like UT2004, painkiller, ect.

Great web site. I'v found another fav.

thanks TechSpot... (i visit your site Twice a day, to see any updates on the news, and freeware.)

Sincerely, Jon "Renegeek Computers"

I would love to win Far Cry. I have heard fantastic things about the sequel to, but have never had a chance to play either. As for old games I would like to replay, Lucas Arts had some fantastic ones that unfortunately do not work on Vista, like Rogue Squadron and Droid Works.

Games I'd love to win: FarCry
Games I played for hours on end and would like to play again: Starsiege, Mechwarrior & BattleTech 3025 MMO Beta before it was shut down /cry. A little of Battlezone too! *searches through old boxes for CD*

Man that list brings back some good memories especially of the BattleTech franchise, thanks for the article and giveaway! And Tom didn't know you played MW, which one? BattleTech.com & MekTek.net are working on getting MW4 + all expansions out for free as a download most likely to hype up the reboot of the franchise which btw looks awesome if you haven't seen the trailer =D.

I love the way the comments got shorter and shorter hehe :P

I must say the game I most want to add to my collection would be Price of Persia: Sands of Time, would definitely like to win that. Had many friends who went on about how great it was, yet I never bought it, a regret that hopefully you guys will fix! :P

and from the old days? well, don't kill me, but I go back to the days of Crystal Quest for the Mac SE, that game was awesome, play it sometime! worth it (it gets damn hard though)

:)
