Actually, I borrowed a friend's box of X-Wing Alliance, and it was scary how I somehow instinctively remembered the keys, which were essentially the same when I played TIE Fighter or X-Wing over seven years ago. It also reminded me that I need to get a new Flightstick where the pots don't spike near the deadzone.

That, and System Shock. My sound card would get flaky in the game after 20 minutes, but I'd just quit, reboot, and keep at it. Love that game, way ahead of it's time when it came out.

I've been trying to get an old computer so I can play those games and 3dfx games Longbow 2 and Independence War to run. Never seemed to like these newfangled 2 gig computers with over 512 megs of ram.
