You know you're an early 90's computer nerd [and had no life] when:
- You start getting nostalgic for Windows 3.1
(not as nerdy as the guy who wrote a wikipedia entry about it)
- You start getting nostalgic about Windows 3.1 color schemes
- You miss playing Gorillas and Nibbles for MS-DOS 5.0
- You think the glory days of online gaming involved Tele-Arena
- You remember how exciting it was the day 5600 baud modems came out (or 19.2, for that matter)
- Leisure Suit Larry and X-Wing for CD-ROM!!!!! (talk about nostalgia: a September release is planned for Leisure Suit Larry on PS3???!!!)
Oh, the memories...

oh god, leisure suit larry... i feel dirty just thinking about it.
sweet list.
I was really confused when Windows 3.1 came out...I was an MS-Dos baby due to an engineer for a father.
eric,
I didn't know you were into Gorillas and Nibbles too. Or Sierra Games for that matter! Aaron!
My brother had Leisure Suit Larry (possibly even 2 and 3) when he was like 13 or so... my parents must not have known what it was. I used to watch him play and had absolutely no idea what was going on. Then I tried to play and couldn't seem to rack up the same amount of points as him or really get very far at all.
Oh btw this was when I was like 8 or 9 years old.
The point is, I have waited my whole life to go back and dominate the game. I must find someone with a PS3.
fyi- artie lange voices a character in the PS3 version of Leisure Suit Larry
and come on, no mention of MicroProse? ...arguably the best producer of computer games in the DOS era.[moves index finger toward bridge of nose to adjust glasses that are no longer there]
