I've just discovered emulators.

I've just discovered my linux box can emulate old computers. I using software like mame, pcsx, vice, uae and dosbox I can play all the coin op, Commodore 64, Amiga and Playstation games that were popular when I was a teenager. I didn't play many games back then because we had Macs in our house, so I'm going to try to make up for lost time

Some Personal faves, noting I tend to lean towards RPGs over action. (There's some great action games in my C64 selection there though)
C64: Impossible Mission, Driller, Uridium, Spindizzy, Paradroid, Starquake, JetSet Willy II, Pharo's Curse, Jumpman, Beachhead, Pitstop II, Theatre Europe, The Last Ninja, Realms of Impossibility, Son of Blagger, The Bards Tale 1,2,3, Cauldron II, Ultima 2-5
Amiga: Nebulus, Populous, Xenon II, Speedball II, Deluxe Galaga, Lemmings
DOS: Wasteland
SNES: Final Fantasy 3-6, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Wizardry 1-6, Mario RPG
PSX: Final Fantasy 7
N64: Mario 64, Zelda: Ocarina of time, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Tetrisphere

Oh and OOlite is worth a lookin if you like Elite. It's an extensible Elite clone for Linux. Much eye-candy.

I think L would kill me if I got into an epic C64 role play game like 'Wasteland'
