Computer Game Poll
Jun. 27th, 2006 09:35 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Okay, so I think the majority of my flist here are my fellow late 80's-early 90's people, born to the computer games era. My friends Apryl and Julie (
julibeth) and I are discussing old computer games because of this site.
So, poll time! You'll have to put in the answers in the comments, since polls and I don't get along, but oh well.

What early-mid 90's computer game(s) was/were your favorite(s? Feel free to pick more than one!
1. Creative Writer (though it was less of a game and more of a junior word processor if I remember correctly)
2. Hollywood High
3. King Quest
4. Oregon Trail
5. Carmen San Diego
6. The Petz series (Dogz & Catz - aren't they up to seven now? Probably more).
7. Dangerous Creatures
8. Pepper's Adventures in Time
9. The Magic School Bus games
10. Tree House
11. Zookeeper
12. Other
Personally, mine were 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10 &11 (respectively, depending on my age - some were when I was really little, others when I was older-ish.)
I'd love to hear!

Date: 2006-06-28 02:07 am (UTC)Kinda fun.
I also played this Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Game but no one in my family could ever figure out how to get into the cave area with the knight's tomb -_-
I'm was born in 1981 and . . that's pretty much it . . .

Date: 2006-06-28 02:07 am (UTC)I loved the Magic School Bus games. Especially the dinosaurs one, because I spent my childhood wanting to be a paleontologist. I'm pretty sure I got the majority of my science education from those games and the television show, rather than from school.

Date: 2006-06-28 02:25 am (UTC)AND WAIT! There was this game with a dragon... I'm a little sketchy on the details... there was a dragon and a coloring page. WHAT WAS THIS GAME CALLED? I loved it.
I feel like this was more than you asked for? haha, I didn't think I'd ever get so excited about those games.

Date: 2006-06-28 04:17 am (UTC)Did you ever play Storybook Weaver? I had great fun with that. You made up a story, then created the picture of it. I think that's one thing that really got me started on writing.

Date: 2006-06-28 04:31 am (UTC)Actually my all time favorite was the PC version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I started playing it when Version IV came out on floppy disks back in '91 or '92, and now they've moved on to video game consoles in something like Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI (or XII). I was such a history nerd ;)

Unfortunately though, I have nothing to contribute to your poll. I don't even remember using computers at all then. *shrug*
