TS Community: Saluting nostalgic games + Diablo/Max Payne giveaway

Before proceeding with the latest highlights, we’d like to thank everyone for participating in the last giveaway. There were many great entries and it was tough to pick one winner. However, TechSpot staffers reviewed the submissions and abysal’s Cosmos II build won fair and square with a majority of the votes. Crunkosaur’s sweet liquid cooling setup and Leo Bien Durana’s tidy behind-the-scenes cable routing tied for second place.

This time, we’re highlighting a thread recently started by Dawn1113, who wants to know what title first got you hooked on gaming. Scrolling through the posts is bound to leave you longing for a session of Tetris, Pac-Man or Super Mario Bros. — some of the earliest games I recall playing on the NES. Coincidentally, Dawn’s topic comes as we receive greatly anticipated updates to two classic franchises: Diablo and Max Payne.

In the interest of scratching your nostalgic itch, we’re giving way one copy of Diablo III or Max Payne 3:
