This was one of the first video games I ever played, all the way back during my IBM OS/2 Warp 3 days. We used to open a DOS window and play away. Never understood English at the time, since I was only 6-7 years old, but I still remember the tune that played when you first started a game.
When I first found this game as a kid, I found it to look so awesome. I loved how it played and the vibrant colors. My childhood wasn't the happiest, but to find gems like this that just seemed to fit me, makes me want to play it again.

Star Wars
Star WarsStar Wars is a first-person shoot 'em up based around the original Star Wars film. You take on the role of Luke Skywalker, aiming to destroy the Death Star - which, as any fan knows, involves attacking the 'weak spot' near the exhaust. To even get to this you have to pass swarms of TIE Fighters. Complete the game and it loops back around at ever-increasing difficulty. The game uses vector graphics, which allow lots of action at high speed on comparatively slow systems.
