Personal Computer Games
Then, and Now. Games for the machine you're on, unless it's not yours.

:: Crystal Caves ::

My personal favourite old skool game, it is basically a platform game (literally) in which you, a crystal farmer, have to collect crystals from the huge amount of levels in the game. I forget why. Anyway it's colourful, has great levels and hours of playability, much more than the new Dreamcast titles. If you only play one old skool game this year, play this.

:: Minesweeper ::
A built-in windows game, I'm not particularly fond of it, but the Robe get's very excited over this. It's an extremely basic game that even a 286 could handle. The concept is simple enough for Vicky Quinnell to cope with and that says something. There are bombs under squares, you click, they ever explode or they dont. Great game.

:: Lemmings ::
It spawned a generation of human lemmings, none of which experienced this, of the best ever, classic games. It started it's humble life in 16 colours on a Commodore 64 and moved it;s way continually upwards and even featured as recently as on the Sony Playstation under the name; 'Lemmings and... oh no, more lemmings". The game consists of lemmings under your control which you must guide through a level invariably containing many dangers saving as many lemmings as possible to meet that levels pass rate. It has to be played to appreciated.

:: NES, Megadrive and other roms and emulators ::
Any game you ever played on a Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Megadrive / Genesis, Gameboy, can be played on your PC via an emulator. The games are called Mods and are readily available wherever you are willing to look. Unless deleted within 24hrs they are illegal and TheOnlineNet accepts no responsibility for your actions.

:: Modern (today's) Games ::
Not particularly Jay's field of play as his computer isn't up to much in that respect, the Robe is a bit of an invalid when it comes to games so we tend to leave this section to those who know what they're talking about. Or failing that TheRocketLauncher.
