The original Prince of Persia, in DOS.

Played the shit out of that game. I could probably draw maps of every level from memory.

The cart said Final Fantasy 2. We now know it as Final Fantasy 4.

My father had my playing it and reading all the text out loud. I played that game over and over and over. I have all the hidden paths and treasures memorized.

The opening scrawl ended in something about Cecil and Kain vanishing “into a deep fog.” For years and years I thought it said they vanished “into a deep frog.” Let me tell you… the hours I spent lying awake at night wondering what that meant…

And of course my Dad didn’t correct me.

Potentially HOVER! on the ol’ Windows ME machine iirc.

Age of Empires 2 also comes to mind.

Pretty sure it was either Excite Bike or Contra on NES at my neighbours house. Also had Radio Shack pong.

Pac-Man on the Atari 2600. I understand the complaints about that port, but I’ll always have a soft spot for it for getting me into the hobby way back when.

Descent. My dad had a joystick setup for it and I remember being stunned by the graphics and the ability to fly around

Either Combat or Pitfall on Atari 2600.

Blew my toddler mind. Which happened again the following year when Santa delivered an NES for Christmas with Super Mario & Duck Hunt.

My first gaming experience was when I was stuck in the hospital for days due to surgery on my feet when I was super young. My mom’s friend let me borrow her kid’s NES and, as I couldn’t get out of bed, I did nothing but play River City Random, Super Mario Brothers, and one other game I no longer remember.
