I just bought me some nostalgia!

The complete collections of Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry. That'll run on Windows XP.
Picked them up for a song down at my old workplace. Time to boldly go where no janitor has gone before!! (Again!)
The nostalgia! The memories! And I get to replay it all! Yay!

I've seen that package on the shelf at my local game shop, is it worth it? I've been collecting all of the Lucasarts Classic re-issues which are optimised for XP. So far I have Sam & Max, Full Throttle, The Dig and Dark Forces 2. Ahhh the memories.

Well, you don't get the original EGA-versions of the first games, all the first games are the updated VGA-versions. Other than that it's pretty sweet, yeah.

Maybe this is more nostalgia than you want to remember, but you can download all of the original Zork games (Zork 1, 2 and 3) for free from several places on the Internet.
Here, for example:
http://thezorklibrary.com/thefallenempire/948gue.htm
They will run on 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP or Vista.

When I look back at all the games I'd love to play through again I'm reminded just how much time I spent playing these Adventure Games and think.... Did I ever do anything else?

I saw some of those on sale at Gamestop/EB Games. Kings Quest and Space Quest collections for $9.99 ea. Usually nostalgia costs a whole lot more...

Already gone through 5 of the Space Quests... Dammit, I shouldn't've played them to death all those years ago. I remember too much
Oh well. Space Quest 6 ahoy!

I have that problem with just about any old adventure game I've played. If I'd played them at least twice then I know when I go back, no matter how many years later, I just fly thru all of them. It's still a blast though!
