Totally loved all the Space Quest games! That was back in the day when two guys could make a PC game all by themselves.

Break out your MS-DOS 3.x disk or higher, make sure you have at least 512K of conventional RAM free, and try them out.  :)

Back in the day I really loved playing text adventures. There were a couple of great Marvel comics ones, Spiderman and a Hulk one. Played these on my trusty Commodore 16! :)
