Computer Game Poll

[author_by_night]

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!

Haha, I don't really remember those games. I do, however, remember old DOS games like Gorillas (two purple gorillas on either side of a "city" throwing exploding bananas at each other. You had to put in the angle and velocity. It was great). I remember one called Comet, which was a little space dude traveling around. Lemmings was an ultimate favorite, though, and I would totally still play it. I also recall Jazz Jackrabbit, that was another huge favorite. Another one that my brother and I played all the time was Pod, but that was a little later. I think it was mid to late nineties.
It's so funny how I've gone from Gorillas to Sims2 :P

Pod sounds familiar...

It was a car racing game on an alien world. The premis was that some sort of weird virus was threatening the world, and the only way off was one escape pod, so whoever was left had to race for their lives. It's a lot of fun. You can design your cars and pick which tracks you want to race. Haha, after talking about it I feel like playing it again :P
