Oh man, those were the days. Challenge of the Ancient Empires, Spellbound, Carmen Sandiego, and Outnumbered in glorious 4-bit CGA — I seriously wanted to be a real-life SuperSolver for at least six months out of my life. When I got those games running in EGA a year or two later, it was basically like bunnies and sunshine.

Anyone else here raised on educational TV, too? I still maintain Square One was a work of art in a thirty minute time slot. Same with 3-2-1 Contact (I even got back issues of their magazine, from before it started to suck) and, to a lesser extent, Bill Nye.

1st computer experience was a Casio something that hooked to a TV. Cannot remember the model number, probably will at 4am.

PC-XT came next. 40MB hard drive. Parents still have it and it was still in regular use until about 2 years ago. Believe it still works.

Typing Tutor X (X being a number I think was 3) was the closest thing to a parent acceptable game. And MoonMist, good text based game.

Ernie, cant believe you did not have any graphical games. California Games was fun but a parental no-no so it had to be played home alone and hidden in the toy chest. There were others too.

My dad deleted the only game on my Performa, so all I had to play with was Norton Disk Doctor. I remember checking for disk problems every single day, over and over and over. Our computer must have been the cleanest one in town.

Back in Mid School (1994-1997) we would play Oregon Trail on the computers and basically that was all we had that wasn’t too educational. (Our school had maybe 150-200 kids)I remember when we got some decent Macs and they had “Spin Doctor” on them. Which was a game where you spun a rotating wand from dot to dot. I got addicted to that game and one day I decided to stay after and play it. Time passsed and it was 4pm, in walks my mom crying. And you wonder why I’m fucked up. So I stayed home all through high school never allowed out after dusk. Ern can we get a group rate on a therapist???

My dad told me Nintendo was an instrument of the devil. Now I play video games all day long for a living. I think the lesson to be learned here is that whatever you deny your kids, they will end up loving out of spite.

Admit it, Ernie. You kind of wish your dad had given you an abacus. Only kind of, though.

By the way, Oregon Trail RULED!
