There's another game I used to love, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. It was an old DOS game involving a kid in a cloak that ran through a castle. You could shoot little fiery bullets, and you had to collect goblets of potion to regain your health. . . . There was lava. And moonlight. . . . Argh. I can't remember what it was called. Perhaps my siblings can help me out with this one.
Wow. I sound like a nerd now. Oh well! Keep in mind, all of these games were played in moderation, with the possible exception of that one time when my brother and I played Civilization II for over two hours straight. But that was just once. And then I ironed 10 shirts to make up for my laziness. I'm not a gamer. No, no, no.
What games--computer, video, board, or whatever else--did you enjoy as a kid?

Oh my gosh. I love this! I still play the tycoons....ha! We have family tournaments to see who can make the most money by the end of the scenarios. :)
I also loved Jump Start 2nd grade. Good game. Played that when I was in kindergarten...
I remember that magic cloak game thing! That was a freaking cool game! Now I want to find it...
