Wow, it really brought back a lot of memories trying to remember the games of the past. What struck me is how much time I wasted on games that I didn´t actually enjoy. Some games, like The Last Ninja, I thought were cool and so I wanted to like them but they were mostly irritating since I was bad at them and didn´t understand how they worked (you know, effective fighting strategy, enemies' weak points, which order to do stuff). The manuals back then were sparse at best and no internet to get tips from (I had few friends and they were even worse than me at games so they couldn´t help). |

There were so many games that I loved. I could play Monopoly for hours and hours. My parents got me a luxury Monopolyset when I was around 10. It has a leather case with velvety insides. It is still my primary Monopoly set nearing 40 years later. I also liked Life and Dark Shadows board games. There were some really interesting board games like the Seance game, Voice of the Mummy , and Green Ghost. As for video games, I had Atari Super Pong when it first came out. There were so many other games I loved just as much, but I will stop at these.

To me, Crash Bandicoot 2, Crash Bandicoot Warped and Crash Team Racing would always be my favourite childhood games. I tried desparately to get all the items for 2 and warped, and I remembered the whole family taking turns to play Crash Team Racing. You can't beat the classic good old games.

Some of my favorite games were the Lands of Lore and Kings Quest series. They still are now that I have dosbox. They bring back so many memories.
