Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.

Sid Meier’s Pirates!
I played the original when it came out on PC in like 1987. A friend of my dad gave me a copy, but I didn’t have the manuals or map or anything that came in the box, so in order to figure out how to get around the Caribbean I had to crack an encyclopedia to a map, and that got me both interested in maps and also in reading the history of all these places I’d been to in the game.
I still play the 2004 remake of that game a few times a year.
I never played the original but Live The Life! slaps.
Black and white 2
Sonic adventure, honestly most sonic games.
Kingdom hearts would be but I never gave it the chance to be nostalgic because I never stopped playing em lol
Probably all the earlier need for speeds (1 2 and 3, underground) just played em a lot! Also duck hunt of course
Pikmin 1! To say I’m obsessed is an understatement
Super Mario Sunshine and Pac Man 2
Hitting a tree with a good stick.
I’d say it’s a tie between The Curse of Monkey Island and Wing Commander (1 and 2).
Oh, there’s a monkey in my pocket, And he’s stealing all my change, His stare is blank and glassy, I suspect that he’s deranged…
Quest for Glory and Kyrandia!
I loved that Quest for Glory soundtrack.
Is Kyrandia the one where you play a jester in the 3rd game? I remember liking that one a lot.
I did t know you play as Malcolm in the third game! I’ll have to play the second and third once I’m done with a replay of the first one!
Yes. Malcolm’s revenge or something like that. That’s more click action like qfg3+ vs typing out everything like qfg1&2. It’s easy to get lost without a guide in the earlier games.
X-Wing
TIE fighter
Secret of Mana
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past
You know you’re old when most of the answers involve video games from one era or another.
The first video game we owned was a Coleco Telstar, which came out in 1976. It had a whopping 3 games:
- hockey
- handball
- tennis
Basically all were just variations of Pong…
Yep I naively expected to see board games and what not. Cos I keep forgetting I’m ooolllddd
Kick the Can.
Followed by your mom ringing a bell or using some other noisemaker to call you home for dinner. We’d have about ten kids from around our neighborhood playing kick the can. And we could all tell who had to go home based on the type of bell etc. and the direction it came from.
I got a few.
N64 command and conquer I can still hear the commando blowing up logo and saying that was left handed.
Ocarina of Time
Skies of Arcadia
And kotor, but for some reason I remember the pazak mini game more than anything else.
I loved that command and conquer game! It was actually my pivot point into PC gaming, because I picked up Red Alert 2 and there was no going back.
