Hehe, I just went through the exact same thing with the Dragon Warrior series and an NES emulator. I think it came with every single nintendo game ever. Sweetness.

Another good way to find games like that is to google for "abandonware", as they call it sometimes :)

I have most of the Space Quest and King's Quest games saved somewhere on my computer...

Damnit I was hoping you'd find number munchers. LOL

what's number munchers?

[fortunecookie10]

That game where these little green creatures would eat up certain numbers while these brown turd-looking things would follow you around trying to eat you.

Kinda like a more educational Pac Man. I remember me and Tania used to <3 that game.

Not ringing any bells?

hmm... its starting too... i would need to see a screen capture of part of the game before i totally remember though.. i'll keep a lookout for it though.. and that reminds me.. i want the original Oregon Trail.. the one that was black and white (or black and green on certain computers)..

Loved that game....
