I always felt like Sim Tower could have been awesome but wasn't quite. Like a lot of sims, it's really fun at first and then you kind of lose interest once you can just proceed unencumbered.

I couldn't really tell you what drew me to it, but for some reason it just really clicked. I was never really good at it, but I also did like Sim Farm.Quote:

Racing game: Probably Pole Position in the arcade. I played that all the time, although little Gohan never really figured out that you had to slow down in the corners. I still play this on GBA once in a while, it's still fun.
Computer game: Not sure, my rich bud had a 8086 back when nobody could afford a home PC. It had lots of shitty games, but I do remember playing Below the Root. When I got my own PC in 96 or so my first game was Wing Commmander 2.
Console game: I was playing the 2600 that my grandma had longer than I can remember, so I have no idea. The first console game that I owned was Donkey Kong for the Colecovision.
FPS: Wolfenstein 3D shareware, played on a B&W laptop. Awesome.
Point n' click Adventure game: Does Shadowgate count?
Online multiplayer game: Jedi Knight. I didn't play it much, but I was backstabbing people with the lightsaber like a motherfucker.
First Import Game: Xmen vs Street Fighter for the Saturn. Playing an arcade perfect port at home while it was still popular in the arcade was mind blowing.
Probably a third of my playtime with SimEarth was seeing how fast I could destroy a planet. The rest was building up advanced civilizations and then seeing how well they coped with the destruction of their planet.
Same here. My love of the show "Automan" had me trying to design a guy in Logo. It totally wasn't gay or anything. I just wanted a pal who could make a Lamborghini out of nothing.Quote:

JRPG: Final Fantasy
Racing game: RC Pro AM and then Ivan "Ironman" Stewarts Off Road fucker. Four player action, bitches. (got both in the same day)
Computer game: Thexder on the Apple IIGS (followed shortly thereafter by Silpheed) I remember one of these had an AWESOME sounding version of Moonlight Sonata as the title screen music.
Console game: Some game for the 2600. I honestly believe it was E.T.
FPS: Never played one
Point n' click Adventure game: Space Quest
Online multiplayer game: Starcraft
My list is top tier as fuck.
The computer lab in my middle school/high school had monochrome Apple IIes until at least 1996. We had typing classes on them.Quote:

My high school wasn't much better. In my sophmore or junior year (95 or 96) I had a computer applications class that was supposed to focus on teaching Windows 95 and office. The computers we had were 386's with Dos and MS Works.
Near the end of the year the teacher went out for maternity leave and I loaded Mortal Kombat on all the computers. The sub gave no fucks.
With the turtle. There was always one kid in the class who was really great with it, and that kid was never me.Quote:
