I just installed Myst last night so that me and Abi could play it and see how far we got before getting confused with nowhere to go (which turned out to be not very far!) and the install showed the game as being shockingly old.

256 colours, 640x480 screen res, an installer that seemed to lose count of the disk space available at just short of a gig, Quicktime 2 installer ..... :D must be the oldest game I own! Scary!

:D I remember Commander Keen and the original Duke Nukem (none of this 3d rubbish!)
Playing a good old game at Abi's called "Zeus: Master of Olympus" - kinda like Settlers, only more complex because you have to do population and housing as well.
