My vote goes to "Another World." That game made the single biggest impression on me.
They have a high-res Windows version of it, $9. Check the official site.

That's not true. They only left straight walls behind, yes. Once they escaped from the game grid, they did all sorts of chicanes and s-curves when fleeing the army of Flynn's tank programs he'd created before he left Encom. They even "slid" sideways.
They still got it wrong. Choose: free movement OR wall-trails, not both at once.
Actually, I was just trying to be funny. Yet, I suppose you could take the answer seriously. The original question was How exactly does a modern OS feel?, so I suppose you meant the user interface; and everything in OSX is so elegant, well designed, sensibly arranged... in a way Windows just can't match.
I guess their WW2 past is just the excuse. They probably had seen Michael Bay's previous movies and refused to have anything to do with that talentless hack...
the majority seems to claim that GPL restricts coders by not allowing them to do whatever they want with someone else's code
The way I understand it (note, I'm no coder) is that the GNU GPL gives freedom to the code itself. That is, it makes sure that there is no way for anyone to stop the code from spreading. You can't take Free code, work a bit on it, and make it non-Free.
If we live in a world where a good image manipulating application is overlooked because its name is GIMP, there is something wrong with the world.
No, actually it is overlooked because people balk at the terrible interface and go back to Photoshop.
I also liked GC Zelda (wind waker) cell-shaded graphics a lot (and couldn't understand why they drew so much flack from some circles
I think the problem was the character designs, not the cel-shading. Zelda is supposed to be "epic", and the kiddy style made it look "non-epic". I'm sure it would have been better accepted with older-looking characters (think Jet Set Radio).
How many of us had our first computer experience with MS-DOS or Windows 3.1?
I recall the first time I used Windows 3.1, during a party at my aunt's place. I was so confused that I swore to myself: "When I can afford my own computer, it will be that "Macintosh" I've read about. Whatever it is, it has to be better than this crap!"

You know, that's right. Daikatana really, REALLY could use some gameplay fine-tuning, but it is not as awful as it reputation goes.

You're missing the point: most old Disney animated movies were adapted from fairy tales.
But you can make money faster now, so logically copyright terms should have been shortened!
I expected people to be evolved enough by now to say that in metric units!
Maybe you mean Sloth?
What do you mean, they would? Isn't that what people think about her right now?

Like Mac OS X.

There is a good reason to use it: some forums filter 'ass' but accept 'arse'.
What to do with copyright? GET RID OF IT. Seriously.
The director blames the people at TSR/WOTC , that forced him to use an old script, even though he had a vastly improved one.
Indeed. I'm also glad that there were no sequels to The Matrix... too much potential to fuck it up entirely.
That one has extremely restricted combat rules. I mean, attack any other player and you will likely get B&.

Actually, Ubuntu is not a made-up word.
You're forgetting the G4 Cube. It was beautiful, but too expensive and non-expandable. So there was not much of a market for it.

From the trailer, it looks like the original Quake distribution model: they only distribute brown textures.

That's "8-bit arcade graphics"? You're almost a decade off!
