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)
  • taiyang@lemmy.world

    I vaguely remember elf and dwarf were, uh, classes in some games. But the AD&D one I remember had them as races, but you had interesting classes like… Magic-User. I vaguely remember having 8 hp on one? Oof.
