Last night I played way too much eGames MiniGolf master on my Presario 1700, and really enjoyed it with this random Princeton brand monitor that has better brightness and color reproduction than many modern displays. I remember having this game as a kid, including the moment of getting it on a mini CD included for free with a package of Maxell batteries at a large retail chain back in Serbia. GPU is a little on the weak side for 1024x768 but no real lag, just feels like a lower framerate than 60 that I get with 640x480.

Descent (1995)

While completing a full playthrough of this game my 2 year old daughter took a liking to it. Now as part of our bedtime routine, she demands to play the "Robots game".

Thankfully the first level music is so good, I don't mind replaying it over and over.

SimCity (1989)

I grew up playing 2000, never touching the original until recently. These are the four versions I've tried:

• DOS Classic 2.0

• DOS enhanced CDROM

• Windows 95 Classic 2.0

• The Super Nintendo version

I like the Windows 95 and SNES versions the most for their usability. The DOS enhanced version has FMVs and voiceovers that get a bit tedious after a while.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (2024)

This is the only modern game I'm really playing at the moment. I find the operations (PVE) mode to be highly addictive and missions don't take up too much time.
