Every 2-3 months I play either Bubble Bobble or Speedball 2 on my Amiga 500 ;)
Also Diablo 2 and Freespace 2 on my PC.

Ahhh, Brutal Deluxe! The hours I've spent with that. Who can forget the seller's cries of "Ice cream! Ice cream!"? And once you got the intelligence of your team boosted high enough, the AI players started doing really cool things. I once saw one of my team mates holding a player from the opposing team from behind, while another of my players was punching him from the front.
Has anyone tried the remake of that? Is it any good?

Wishbone: Dungeon Keeper (except that I can't play it on Vista, AT ALL)

Wishbone, I found this post recently, sorry I don't have a link. I also thought I had a website about DK and Vista bookmarked, now I can't find it :|
Hope this works for you:
Hi there. Believe it or not, I just finished the entire game again
(for the nth time), but this time on Vista! I was having the exact
same issues as you, crashing, freezing... then I went into the Windows
DEP (Window key+pause - Advanced System Settings - Performace tab,
Settings - Data Execution Prevention tab - Add) then add the
Keeper95.exe to the list. Then go into the program file Keeper95.exe,
right click it and choose compatibility - Windows XP SP2. Now after
all this, if I run the game from the shortcut it won't work! You have
to go into the program files\bullfrog\keeper\ and run the game by
directly clicking on keeper95.exe. Weird, but worked every time!

Oh, and have you tried DOSBOX with it?

Haven't tried DOSBox yet. I really wanted the D3D Windows version to work, but... If this works, you're getting written into my will!
On second thought, maybe not. No reason for you to inherit my debt ;-)

Would be way to much to list them all here. I do not play alot new games, exept on my Wii console. And even there I spent at least 100 bucks for old games on the Virtual Console!
Maybe I'll give you a top ten:
Dungeon Keeper
Monkey Island 1 & 2
Day Of The Tentacle
Fallout
Wizardry 7 & 8
Battle Isle 3 if I get it running again (tells me not enough memory while having 2 GB...)
Imperium Galactica
One Must Fall 2097
Master of Orion 2
Heroes of Might & Magic 2 & 3

Weclock: Morrowind

Did you end up using any mods to make you move faster, or does that come from dex or skill improvements? I tried playing it a few years ago and ended up giving up on it due to the slow movement speed.
