I've been gaming since the 1970's :-D

Nice, I've been gaming since the late 90's. =))
Now, let's not change the name of this thread to How many of you game? LOL.

I just installed ScummVM on my new installation. Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Indy 3, Indy 4, Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2. These games need only 47MB and the playing times of every game vary between one hour to 3,5 hours - if you play with solution and only one variation. If you have to find all puzzles by yourself you need a lot more time. In Maniac Mansion you can play with 25 combinations of players, each has a different solution. If you're interested, I can upload them to rapidshare, pre-installed.

I guess since the late 80ies. Commodore C16 at first ;)

At my OSX i play Tombraider at the moment and i would love to try out ememy territory quake wars.
but i dont want to buy another copy as i got it already for win :(

I don´t need a mac for ScummVM, i got my WM mobile phone for that LOL

Anyway, I created a .dmg for the best Lucasfilm Games, you can download them HERE. Installing the games is easy, just copy the files to the folders like they are placed in the image.

Included games are:

Maniac Mansion (Amiga + PC-EGA)
Zak MacKracken (Amiga + FM-Towns)
Indiana Jones 3 - the Last Crusade (PC-VGA)
The Secret of Monkey Island (PC-VGA + Mac Classic)
LeChuck's Revenge (Amiga + Mac Classic)
Indiana Jones 4 - the Fate of Atlantis (Amiga)

Each game is in available in English and German, that's why different platforms are used. Maniac Mansion EGA version has the cool PC-speaker sound ;) I also used some smoothing algorithms, if you like real old-style pixel graphics you have to disable them. If you like those games, get the full FM-Towns versions of Zak McKracken and Indiana Jones 3 and the PC-CD versions of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones 4.

Plasma Pong is great! =)

Hehe - the easiest game ideas are often the best ;-)

It's crazy with that game - the first levels I always have no problems. Between the levels 12-19 I loose the most of my lives. After level 20 the problems are gone - once I played from level 17 to 23 with only one life! Levels beneath 23 I vote as bad for me, the best was level 26 on Leopard and I think level 32 on Tiger. How fast is it on your machine? I have in 1600x1200 and 1999 particles about 57-62 fps on my Athlon 64 4000+ @ 2.63 GHz.

I find out my fps and update you in a bit. =) I actually surpassed those levels already, lol. I like the graphics especially. Retro.

The graphics are really the last what's retro. This is the looks of the original Pong:

For all gamers who don't like playing with the keyboard, try ControllerMate. It's a great prog running in the background which advises all types of controllers (f.e gamepads, joysticks whatever) a new function. So in the easiest way you can tell it that if one button on the controller is pressed than it sends a defined key stroke. This works for every program, so you could f.e. control FrontRow with a gamepad. Or Plasma Pong, while we were talking about it. But the program is very complex. It has functions to dectect if a controller is existing to assign the functions only if its connected. You can create complete controller pages only for special applications. It's also possible to group these. ControllerMate detects if an application is running in the foreground or in the background so that you can react on this. There are logic functions and much more. Controllers are calibrateable, of course. It's a great prog and not too expensive, take a look at it if you like to play.

BTW: I actually installed an Amiga Emulator on my Mac - now I can play my favourite games there. I don't like the inbuilt joystick control, so I use a normal keyboard layout and assign the joystick with ControllerMate to the Emulator. The Competition Pro USB is a great joystick, it's as good as the original one.
