Oh dear god, I'd forgotten about Dominik Diamond - I suppose that's pretty much who I am here, but without the sheer aggression of constant innuendo.
There's definitely a feeling that comes with the limitations of these graphics (and the capability of the engines made to run on the computers of the time) that can't easily be replicated now :)
I know I had the shareware episodes of Dark Ages, Secret Agent and Duke Nukem - I think it was just whatever got distributed on magazine coverdisks at the time. My dad borrowed the registered disks of Commander Keen 1 from someone at his work, and it was the best thing to ever happen, finally getting to see the worlds beyond the confines of the shareware episode of something :) I remember having Monster Bash as well, but it was a cut-down version of even the first episode because at the time, a full 1MB was seen as a bit much for a game coverdisk!
How... disastrous, exactly, can a flirtation with Macs go? :X
