Computer Games you used to play when you were a kid
« 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

As far as games on a computer, when I was young I played:

Mechwarrior 2
Jump Start 4th Grade Adventures or something (the one with all the egyptian/cairo stuff)
Math/Word Munchers
Oni
Serious Sam
Kidzone (just a bunch of slider puzzles and junk that came with windows 95)
Reader Rabbit I and II (I looked so freaking dated even back then XD)
