Title: Computer Games you used to play when you were a kid
Post by: D-Pad Doc on May 22, 2011, 05:39:50 AM
I saw someone talking about this at another forum I go to, and I thought that it may be a fun idea to ask all of you about computer games you used to play when you were a kid.

For me, I used to have fond memories of playing such games like Reader Rabbit, Math Blaster, the Jump Start games, and some of Humongous Entertainment's games (Putt-Putt, Let's Explore with Buzzy, Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, Backyard Sports, etc.) when I was back at the collaborative and elementary school, among some others I forgot about ages ago.

How about you, are there any computer games you played when you were little?

I realize it's a bump, but more people need to reply to this topic!

As a kid, my favorite PC games were:

Doom (and many many MANY mods - in fact about 5 years on and off of my life was devoted to making Doom levels and graphic modifications after school and such)
Wolfenstien
Duke Nukem 3D
Sims: House Party (or Livin' Large - same thing either way basically)
Roller Coaster Tycoon 2.. 1st one was okay, 3rd one quite frankly blows butthole.
GTA 3 was a bit of a crack addiction for a while there
Gunbound
Pac Man clones galore... Including Pac-Guy!

I even used to play that DOS homebrew called Mario & Luigi quite a bit, until I realized how short (and boring) it was. I guess most of my PC gaming has been through emulation of consoles though, honestly! :P I guess thats what happens when you grow up on only Nintendo consoles..

Oh, and I've played pretty much every 2D Worms game on PC. (Apart from the first one, I had the PS1 port of it instead)

I played a fair number of PC games in my childhood... those were Blast Thru, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Impossible Creatures, Petz 4, Lego Creator and Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate. About these games... Impossible Creatures was fun to play as I liked creating my own animal hybrids with it and played with the Skirmish mode more than the Story mode and for Lego Creator, let's just say that I liked building things and blowing them up :D

I have a question about a couple educational games I played as a kid, I don't remember the names and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.  The first was a game that is based in a town, there were a bunch of different places you could click on to play mini games, a few that I remember was that there was a cake shop, a fire hall and there was also a park you could click on that is initially empty but you slowly win new things to put in your park by playing the mini games.  The other game that I remember playing was based in medieval times, I specifically remember there being knights and a building that you went into was a weapons shop or something like that?  This game had a storyline to it.  That's all I really remember about them, I know this isn't much information but I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now.  Thank you in advance.

When I was very little, a large portion of my library was pretty much edutainment (I was 4 when I got my first computer) until I got older and my collection consisted of games passed down from my dad and games from yard sales. My favorites were:

-Mechwarrior 3, 4, and 6
-Doom
-Petz 5 (a game that was one of Ubisoft's pet sims and serviced my love for animals)
-Half-life

I also recall having this fun disk called 'arcade collection(?)' that had lots of classic PC games like Jazz Jackrabbit and several others. Another disk I had was full of clones of popular arcade games and its first game was a clone of Centipede.

It's very weird to look at my childhood computer games and see one be a virtual pet sim among many violent first-person games.

I can remember liking and playing up to the end MAD TV several times, back in 2005 and 2006. I also remember liking Magic: The Gathering in 2002 and 2003 and SimCity 3000 in 2006.
