After a looong time - more than a decade actually - I played The DOS (original) version of The Prince Of Persia. It was the first computer game I've played and to date continues to charm me. The prince and his actions were nothing like what I had seen then and I remember spending hours upon hours trying to get that magic tile to open the doors or figuring out how to kill the fat one. The animations are superb and for a child me, completely engrossing.
What makes me remember this and other games though is the strong relationships which are associated with these as well. So, for the Prince of Persia, it's my cousin Jeet, and similarly for "Crusader: No regret" it's my friend Neeraj and Ganesh. And for "Quake" it's another of my college friends, Sanmeet.
By far the maximum time I've spent playing a game is Warcraft III (yeah the old one) with two of my best buddies, Ganesh and Ojas. The time we spent while trying to determine the strategies and attacking and the thrill we got when we destroyed the ogres and all is just unforgettable.
And guess what, the games continue... now I play "Guitar Hero" with Tom and Andy and play board games like "Carcassonne" with Randy and Hubert and all... the fun continues and newer memories get etched onto my mind all the time.

That was a great post. Rekindling old memoirs ....I remember you were this stud bugger when it came to Prince 2....and showed me how to get thru the final 2-3 stages. Crusader and WW2/3 were one of the best times I had with you guys :D....Remember we used to go to O's place (think it was C-II then) after our "joint studies" for IIT JEE...? Then the "tirrat" games in O's house with his grandpa watching :)
