I loved these games. Unfortunately everyone I used to play with is gone. Civil War Generals II was good but they never updated it to play on modern systems. Is that a photo of Gettysburg?

I am replaying my heretic, hexen and doom . . . as well as the quake series.

I ask myself why the love for these old games.

It takes me back to when I was five or six and drawing battle lines on a sheet of paper and being lost for hours just blowing up targets on the paper. Of course, there was also the toy soldiers and army figures that I would place on bricks and then throw pebbles at them and watch them get blowed up.

These games are just an extension of my childhood.

heck, who wants to grow up anyway! I’m only 58.

That’s “Terrible Swift Sword” from SPI — so, yes, it’s Gettysburg.
