Who remembers PC gaming in the 2000s then? if so, what's your favourite game from this era?
Thrilled to share latest arrival, this Y2K Win XP, Sony VAIO Laptop ... and whilst I played way too much later versions of the "The Sims", I've never played the original. So guess what I'm playing tonight :)
