   Wow, I saw hundreds of my hours occupied in some of those.

   Can’t believe Captain Comic wasn’t in there. At least Alley Cat and Wizardry 1 was though 🙂

      Or Commander Keen, the PC’s first sidescroller.

         If its any consolation, the soundbyte at 0:38 of the doors is very similar.

         Duke Nukem 2D would have been nice too. I would have put in heaps more Apogee, Epic Megagames, Origin, Lucasarts, Sierra… but I’m middle aged 🙂 Oh yeah, and more Origin too.

         PS. Jazz Jackrabbit, Jill Of The Jungle. Old school PC platformers rule!

   Brilliant. About the 50 sec mark I know what I’m looking at. Also reminds me of those big ‘leap years’ where your graphics card lasted only a few months before you needed something else. 😛

    I recognized some of them up until the 45 second mark but then I recognized just about all of them.

    The 90s were particularly glorious for PC games. 😀
