Space Quest 1 (VGA)This past week I reconnected with an old floppy disk game Space Quest 1 (VGA edition) by Sierra.  Luckily I have backups of my floppies now, because the disks no longer work.  If you’re holding on to old floppies, you may be  surprised to discover that the data is no longer there!  Anyways, I played the game through in about 3 hours the other night and really enjoyed it.  Space Quest 1 is an old Sierra RPG in which you are a janitor given the job of saving the universe.  The game is a ton of fun and was one of my favorite computer games when I was younger.  What’s funny is this game has to run on DosBOX, an emulator of DOS.  It’s hard to imagine we already need emulators for those games in a Windows environment.

Have you recently reconnected with an old video game?
