Post Game Nostalgia Thread
Since i've seen a few gaming threads today about games similar to games i used to play, i've decided to make a game nostalgia thread. :D

I'm gonna start with Dominant Species here, a game where you play as an alien race and had to fight against humans who came to the planet for resources.

and a Wikipedia article

Dark Reign

I used to love it, but it automatically installs DirectX 7 or something like that, so you have to reinstall DirectX.

Down plus punch. Sends 'em reeling, potentially into obstacles. Oncoming traffic, for instance.
Up plus punch to do a back-hand slap, which is way better than a punch at knocking people off their bike.
Between those, punches are pretty useless.

Myst, the original. Never beat it and I was too young to truly appreciate, but I have some fond memories of that game. Recently found the disk again, but it crashes whenever I try to flip a switch, and is slow as hell.

Abe's Odissey. The countless nights spent playing this with my friends where humongous.

There was this space game I had like 10 or 11 years ago back when I had a Windows 98 machine.
Some kind of 1st person space ship flying thing where you fly through space and fight some other space ships. I think the main menu screen was your mothership's loading dock.

Nope. Just tried, told me it's a Win32 only game.
