I just recently had a bit of an itch. Or I should say, a big itch, that demanded to be satisfied. Old games from my childhood must be found! My father keeps them all in a years old piece of furniture, and I'm sure I've not found them all, but I have found some interesting games that I never knew we owned. So, I'm gonna share with you some of my finds, and you guys can do the same, exploring old PC game treasures. You can also tell me if I found anything decent because I have no idea.

ToonStruck on CD-Rom
Lionheart: Legacy Crusader (Sealed Box Copy)
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans on CD-Rom
Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold 2.1, Shareware Version on Floppy
Darklands on CD-Rom
Interplay's 10 Year Anthology: Classic Collections on CD-Rom
An Indiana Jones game on Floppy (Overhead perspective)

Obviously, I know about Warcraft already, and ToonStruck I've seen played on youtube by two/three different people. The rest of these I don't know anything about though.
I opened a topic some times ago.
I found a working NES 8 bit with several games, like Super Mario Bros, Super Mario bros 2, Solstice, Ultimate Air Combat. It was a nice day :)

QC: Interplay's 10 Year Anthology: Classic Collections on CD-Rom
Sounds like you struck gold to me, what's on there exactly? I looked it up but all I could see was Wasteland, which is enough to tip the scales into awesome regardless.
The collection:
Mindshadow
Tass Times in Tonetown
the Bard's Tale
Battle Chess
Wasteland
Dragon Wars
Castles
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Out of this World

It wasn't a bestseller. I bought it later (cause i had the games) for DM 10

About what Schnuff said down there, I had to look it up on Amazon. There's a sticker on it that reads "DOS" though, so I guess I'm going to need to download a copy of DOSBOX to try it.

Yah, just seeing the words "Interplay's 10 year Anthology" gives me a tingly feeling. I don't recall the games that were on it but I do recall being happy to own that puppy at one time.

Some great games on there. Definitely check out the Star Trek one if you're a fan of adventure games, I had a lot of fun with it.
Thanks for starting this thread!

I went hunting through my old stuff and found the Interplay 10 Year Anthology and the 15 Year Anthology -- I'd completely forgotten that I had them.

Also found an old EA compilation included with an old Soundblaster card: Yeager's Air Combat, Space Hulk, Hong Kong Mahjong Pro, Wing Commander Academy, Ultima: Savage Empire, Ultima Underworld, Seven Cities of Gold, Populous II, Ultima VII: The Black Gate, and Shadow Caster.
You can find Darklands here on GOG. HUGE learning curve right from the start, so if you're squeamish, don't bother.

Lionheart is a passable action/adventure RPG, with less of the latter and more of the former.

The best ones from the whole list are probably Toonstruck, Wasteland, Darklands, ST-25 anniversary and out fo this world (aka another world)

On GOG:
The Bard's tale (bundled with the modern one)
Darklands
Lionheart
Battle Chess
Castles
Another world
Blake Stone
