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!

Before Peter Molyneaux was known for grand, sweeping statements about his games that he often failed to deliver on, he headed up the tiny studio known as Bullfrog, one of the originators of the god game genre. With games like Populous or Theme Hospital, Bullfrog helped to establish sandbox, open-ended games as a viable way to entertain. One of their best known, and best overall, games is Dungeon Keeper. A strange look into the seedier and hilarious side of adventuring, it was a big hit when released and is still a fantastic game, especially for strategy fans that are looking for something a little different from the normal, modern fare.

Dungeon Keeper 1 was cool and stuff, but DK 2 is where it's at. Seriously, that game ROCKED hard. Also, it's a Windows game so no DOS booting required :)Posted at 6:55AM on Oct 26th 2009 by Archon (PSN: Archonik, XBL: DarkARHN)
