I noticed that pretty much all games I played in my life have been released after 1990. So now I’m asking those with earlier experience here:
Which games can you recommend from before that time?

But: they should still be fun in their own right and not just interesting to play in an historian sense of trying to understand how genres developed.

Games I played that are older than 1990:

  • Tetris (classic for a reason)
  • Pacman (interesting but simple)
  • Prince of Persia (was too young to understand how to correctly play this game, I should maybe try to play it again)
  • The Legend of Zelda (too old school and clunky for my liking)

        Ack, misread.

        Well earlier i’m mostly in Atari 2600 territory. But dmg you have dadalean opus, you have the assorted marios and donkey kongs, MK, castlevania etc etc

        Hubs recommends wonderboy in monster land and wonderboy 3: the dragon’s trap.

            FX is not a GOG creation, it’s a fan community expansion that’s been around for centuries and still very actively being worked on. :). GOG just recently put it in their store
