what are they?
what systems are they on which generation pc were they made for?
which is a good place to start and or which is best?(assuming price is not part of the equation)
which ones weren't that great?
and.. what do you think about the new board games?

I have a ps2 and (occasional) acsess to an xp laptop but MY computer is actually a '95 right now... which is partly why I've been away for so long... I think I have a disk for '98 and one for some kinda unix whatever and some computer husks I can attach them too.

Will they work on any of these?
I hear that some of the older ones don't work so well on xp because... I forget why... but it's what I heard. >__>;

I'd ask amazon, but it doesnt always have accurate info.
I'd ask google or something but, well, google and yahoo searches don't seem to be as fruitful as they one were, but maybe that's just me.
