(I played Gold on the Sega Genesis and then the 2003 remake on PC), F117, and Silent Service (II).Īlso played Oregon Trail and Amazon Trail (preferred the latter), while I was in a summer technical camp and we were doing computer apps when i was a kid, probably 10-11 or so, given Amazon Trail was 1993.Īll sorts of Maxis 'Sim' games as well, such as SimAnt, Earth, Tower, Farm, and City. Microprose made many of games I consider classics and replay often. I never played Master of Orion II, but I played MoO1. Now we have games that are thousands of files and billions of bytes.
