I noticed that pretty much all games I played in my life have been released after 1990. So now I’m asking those with earlier experience here:
Which games can you recommend from before that time?
But: they should still be fun in their own right and not just interesting to play in an historian sense of trying to understand how genres developed.
Games I played that are older than 1990:
- Tetris (classic for a reason)
- Pacman (interesting but simple)
- Prince of Persia (was too young to understand how to correctly play this game, I should maybe try to play it again)
- The Legend of Zelda (too old school and clunky for my liking)
Pools of Radiance was the first game of the series too. If you ever decide to play again, get them all.
I played them all back then! My favourite was Curse of the Azure Bonds, because it tied in with the book that I had absolutely loved
Curse of Azure Bonds was probably the hardest of the series from my memory. I know some of the situations/battles could be avoided, but there was one that sticks in my memory of a large battle between two big forces that included beholders and I got rocked over and over until i finally beat it. Excellent game.
