  1. seconded on The Dig.

    It's not terribly long, but the soundtrack is phenomenal and the atmosphere in the game is excellent.

    It's not an adventure game, but I also heartily recommend "Realms of the Haunting" if you can find a copy of it. It's more of a hybrid FPS/Adventure game with a lovecraftian horror theme. It's the first computer game that ever truly frightened me.

  2. Harddrive is probably dead.

    You might try downloading something like Ubuntu or Knoppix or PuppyLinux and see if you can boot it off a CD or USB Drive.

    If it's a stock system it should have only 256 megs of ram installed.

    It appears it can support up to 1Gb of PC2100 in the form of 2x512:

    You will likely need to replace the harddrive, this would be a good candidate:

    In the end you're looking at sinking around $100 into it to make it usable.

    You'll still only have a celeron proccessor, and there's no telling what

    shape the battery is in.

    Good luck.

  3. And speaking of recovering old files, the idea of Pure Lands (Total Darkness) in high bitrate or lossless is like sweet manna. ^^

    From the ashes of a pile of dying harddrives:

    I have a few others to tag and upload as well. Here's what else I've found so far:

    The Brinstar track was not an offical OCRemix (It ended up being too long to fit comfortably under 6 megs, and I didn't want to shorten it.)

  4. I'm enjoying listening to it while driving around town.

    It isn't the most polished thing he's ever produced, but I'm finding it very highly enjoyable, though I do agree there is a lot of 'this sounds unfinished" to it.

    Once the multi-tracks are more readily available, I can see them being very useful for creating musical beds for videos and what not (since, as far as I know, they're being released under the CC)
