Why would I take the easy route when I can spend hours trying to get my old CD-ROM Star Control/Star Control II collection working? That's half of the fun with PC games, right? :lol:

EDIT: There's a PSP port?! I am all over that!

Star control PSP port, sure your not thinking of Wing Commander!

so far it seems like Pitfall and Star Control II are pretty popular picks?

Also, I back the shmups that have been listed, particularly R-Type and Gates of Thunder, because I have them on the VC and I like competing for high scores. Gates of Thunder is tough as nails!
