      No idea what our first computer was, but it was BIG. The first thing I did was play games. This would’ve been somewhere around 87-89.

          Awesome, love all those 90s games. My wife and I are deep into Obra Dinn right now and Papers Please is one of our faves too.

            Obra Dinn is such a unique experience, a shame (though unavoidable) that there is zero replay value though. My jaw literally dropped a few times during that game.

            It’s on my list, and it’s a bit higher up now because of your comment…thanks for the recommendation(?).

              Yes, definitely recommended. It’s the modern iteration/spiritual successor to the great point-and-click adventure games you mentioned (among others). Had young me known Disco Elysium was in my future when I was playing Police Quest 2, I would have peed myself.

        i played on PC but my dad’s friends had an amiga so i played on it sometimes when i was about 5… I found PP Hammer a lot of fun and Altered Beast simply looked incredible.
