There where games on the computer that didnt need a high end computer to run what where some of your favorites from when you where a kid
one of mine was the Organ trail it ran on my grandmas old computer
i use to spend the summer with my grandparents just to play that
and then there was this one game i dont remember much about but it was a game that a puzzle game it came in generations like
grade 1-5
man good games dont remember the names tho
what about yours?
I remember playing Oregon Trail, but I liked Yukon Trail much more.
And then there was Myst, and after that Riven. I was very proud of myself when I beat Riven all by myself with no help.
Vaguely recall Reader Rabbit, http://www.demu.org/filestore/1/5/8/4_3e841c58ab6abed/1584pre_c378e0765d07d4a.jpg?v=2009-08-15+22%3A18%3A16, and tons and tons of hours of http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/6800/427014-do_not_touch_super.jpg. I remember http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlqQUtKnw5w being one of the very first games I ever played on a computer.
I remember playing http://www.godofstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/king_quest6.png, which I could never beat because there was an area in the middle that required a code from the manual to proceed, which we never had.
The http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUqKjjhdMjg intrigued me, even though I was too young to really understand enough to progress very far into it I still enjoyed the "live action" scenes, and likewise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXYSEagtShE&feature=related (WOAAAAAAAAAAAAH nostalgia trip right there, man it's been a long time). I managed to beat Carmen Sandiego though.
I consider Age of Empires II to be the beginning of my serious gaming life though. It was the first one that I ever got incurably addicted to.
