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 ([profile] 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!

I had Carmen San Diego, but it got boring really quickly for me. I can't remember which one I had, but it seemed like I didn't learn anything new after a while.

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.

That's how I was with Dangerous Creatures. Though when we started talking about "nocturnal" and "predator" and "prey", my hand was up, and my science teachers would be baffled, because I never raised my hand in Science.
