Claw used to be my favourite back then. More so because after tonnes of practice, I mastered every level to the point that I collected all the gems in each level (barring the last one - The Temple and The Docks which had a bug).

And with a measly 56kbps dialup BSNL internet connection back then, I uploaded the scores to the online server. I stood fourth on that list back in 1999. It has come down to seventh now. Proof from a cached website - Link

I have downloaded the .MIDI tracks of all the 14 levels. The game is available for free download as on today and is hardly 30MB. But wouldn't work on Vista or 7. I think I tried back in Vista.

I used to be in touch with Mahesh on that list and he gave me some valuable tips. I found it really hard to collect some of the treasures and when I finally did, it felt so rewarding! For a 2D platformer, this was a hard game back then.

And there was a loophole on the second level - The Battlements, wherein the player could revisit and collect all the treasures (which were already collected) once again after reloading the second save point. And many seemed to exploit that to their advantage to boost the overall high score.

I just realised. It's not just retro games that made me a gamer.

Games like:

1. CRYSIS

2. Dead Space 2

3. World of Goo

These games brought new definitions to gaming for me
 
The best game that it first realised me a gamer which is ...
I.G.I
Fighting force
O.N.I
V.Cop II
Age of empire series
Battle realms
Impossible creatures
Desert storm series
Doom 3
Commandos series
Max Payne series
Hitman series

Running on a P4 only on 256 mb ram :p These are one of the best games I ever played in my childhood....:D
 
I really wonder why they dont make another commandoes games. They can have more elements in play now and it is just awesome. As far as i remember the series only bomb when they tried to make it like FPS. 1 - 2 - 3 were pure fun.
 
does anybody remember or has played 'shogo: mobile armour division' (an early title from 'monolith')?! that was my first 'proper game' on PC (the other being 'quake 3 arena - offline').

I tried a lot to find and run Re-Volt on my Windows 7 machine. If someone can help me, I'll be mighty grateful.

Also, If there was a similar game to Re-Volt, I'd purchase it in a jiffy. That game was super-fun.

EDIT: Holy shit, I might faint - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Volt/

Although Acclaim Entertainment is now defunct, fans support the game by producing fan-made vehicles and courses, and by operating multiplayer servers. Fans have also created a Windows-based chat/lobby client called "RV House" that allows players to connect and play together. While new players may experience a significant learning curve, the community remains active with records of fastest laps and new courses and cars still being added. The community has recently acquired the source code of the game and a new version 1.2, intended to be a major update, is currently in development. The latest alpha release is dated on December 25, 2012.
