HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oh Ziroc, you've gone up twenty notches on my 'cool' meter!
I did play some games with a friend's husband (hey, NOT those kind!

) Don't even remember what they were called. They were dos (text) based 'adventures
and loaded by tape. Took forever. Then you maneuvered by asking questions and the syntax was sooo picky. Used stuff like "look chest" or "open door". Moved with keyboard arrows, no mouse then!
And I have a confession my first programs for a computer of my own (only got the first one about 5 yrs ago) were Wordprocessing, greeting card and database programs! Um, anyone surprised?!

The only games I played were the built in card games which suited me just fine as I love to play cards. Hearts/Spades / Solitaire.
My first games I bought for my pc (a 233 PI) was Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Myst, then the old arcade games (Pac Man and such). When I discovered Age Of Empires, Heroes of Might and Magic and CaesarIII, had to buy the new Gateway PIII 500 last year. LOL Those expansions needed memory and better graphics! hehehe
Hey, Ziroc. Next game you get. Pretend you can't hack it. Go on, just try!
