T Hill's Top 20 Old-School PC Games By   [70 more lists]

Pre-1994 PC games that I played.

The quality and quantity of gaming (on all platforms) really took off in 1994 and beyond, so I have individual year lists for that year up to the present (see my profile). These are all the great PC games I played before 1994.

As with all of my lists, this is just my opinion. And I haven't experienced all there is to offer, so I'm sure I'm missing some gems. No one will agree with me, so please feel free to export the items on my list and make your own!

    old-school is right. i always thought myst was an overrated pile of hype back in the day. but oh the memories of many of the rest of these (and blistered fingers from the c**p joysticks of the day in a few cases where they were supposedly required).
