To my best recollection I have been playing computer games extensively since the age of 5. I stopped roughly at the age of 16, but played occasionally ever since. This is my personal list of dominant PC/video games**:
- Alley Cat (IBM)
- Doom 1+2 (ID Software)
- Day of the Tentacle (Lucas Arts)
- Jones in the Fast Lane (Sierra, In memory of)
- Warcraft 1+2 (Blizzard)
- Lost in Time (Cocktail Vision)
- Mario series (Nintendo)
- Willy Beamish (Dynamix)
- Sam and Max (Lucas Arts)
- Alone in the Dark 1+2 (Infograms)
- Double Dragon 2
- The Incredible Machine -- particularly the first
- Street Fighter 2 (Capcom)
- Police Quest 3 (Sierra)
- Leisure Suit Larry 6 (Sierra, many thanks to Al Lowe)
- Sonic series (Sega)
- Space Quest 3 (Sierra)
- Inca (Cocktail Vision)
To Sierra enthusiasts I highly recommend Quest Studios. Most soundtracks are distributed there for free.
In July-September 2004 I spent plenty of time playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. You could possibly find me early in the morning under the name 'RS'. I included several random screenshots. This is yet the best game I have come across.
Many tributes must also go to Norton Commander which is the most precious piece of software in my possession. Although the original is irreplaceable, a few other commanders were implemented.
**I chose to list only games that literally occupied months of my childhood. The list would be endless otherwise. Some games I have not seen for over 10 years so the titles may be slightly wrong.
