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)
  • Wrufieotnak@feddit.orgOP

    Thanks for taking the time to describe each game, it makes it much easier to decide if a game is up my alley!

    I have to see how to play them on a modern system, but if they are fan favourites, those surely ported them to modern systems.
