Flashback. (Sometimes called Quest for Identity). It was like the original 2D Prince of Persia, but with guns. In retrospect it was kind of meh, but I loved it at the time.

Also, Exile: Escape from the Pit. (The super old version with the crummy pixelated sprites.) Old-school pen and paper style fantasy RPG set in a giant underground prison colony. Also kind of shit in retrospect, but it was the first RPG I played and so I loved it.

Captcha: "We go forwards". Yes, I have indeed.
I remember the Exile series. I used to play the half game long demos, because I didn't have a credit card when I was a kid obviously. I ended up getting some of his games when they were put on steam as kind of a thanks for giving me hours upon hours of fun for free when I was a kid.

WEEEE'RREEE FREEEEEE [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VftqSnsfhKQ&t=0m17s]
What an awful, awful game. But co-op with another ten year old makes everything better.
When I played that game, I always thought they said, "We're friiiiiiiiiiends." I actually liked the bug mission because all I had to do is destroy the bug prisons and let the freed bugs do the rest. Which made me wonder why they didn't recruit the bugs for any future missions. :/

Dune 1 and 2

I dont see many people who have played or even heard of these games.

Dune 1 is some kind of stratergy/adventure hybrid based on the dune film. You travel around the planet recruiting the local people (fremen) to work for you and eventually fight for you.

Dune 2 was made by westwood before command and conquer and at the time the controls (point and click with mouse) were pretty revolutionary and heavily influrenced the control scheme used in command and conquer. Alot of other RTS you see nowadays borrowed this control scheme and have heavily improved on it.
