Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!

Boot Disk covers a lot of genres, from shooters to strategy games to RPGs. However, the one under-represented genre is easily sidescrollers. Since Interplay has been releasing their old catalog out into the world once again, PC users have access to one of the best sidescrollers ever made. Earthworm Jim is one of those games that is not only good, it is ridiculously good, and it leaves nothing but fond memories for those that have decided to play it. With the creative dream team of Shiny and Doug TenNapel, it came out of nowhere to show us just what surreal fun can be like.
