    Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Played it as a child together with my mom. She had all the worldly knowledge, but at the time I was the only one who could speak/understand English, so teamwork was key. That game meant hours of educational fun for the both of us.

    Sid Meier’s Pirates!

    I played the original when it came out on PC in like 1987. A friend of my dad gave me a copy, but I didn’t have the manuals or map or anything that came in the box, so in order to figure out how to get around the Caribbean I had to crack an encyclopedia to a map, and that got me both interested in maps and also in reading the history of all these places I’d been to in the game.

    I still play the 2004 remake of that game a few times a year.

    You know you’re old when most of the answers involve video games from one era or another.

    The first video game we owned was a Coleco Telstar, which came out in 1976. It had a whopping 3 games:

    • hockey
    • handball
    • tennis

    Basically all were just variations of Pong…

      Followed by your mom ringing a bell or using some other noisemaker to call you home for dinner. We’d have about ten kids from around our neighborhood playing kick the can. And we could all tell who had to go home based on the type of bell etc. and the direction it came from.

    Age of Empires 2 is my most played game ever and extremely nostalgic. Conquerors was next to flawless especially with fan made AI that didn’t cheat resources. I liked to play sometimes with friends co-op against one brutally hard AI. Most of my time was online pvp matches, or making and scripting custom maps to post on AOE Heaven. MSN Zones first, then GameRanger when that shut down. A little bit (still hundreds of hours) when Forgotten Empires picked it back up too until I got overwhelmed.

    While I love all the new expansions except the few mid ones, I think it’s too bloated now for PvP. I don’t want to memorize so many nations. I had a similar problem with Dead by Daylight and to a smaller extent, TF2. I got filtered I’m just too old to dump so many hours into a game now to keep track of all that shit, and not for a lack of free time actually in my case.

    But I love the new SP campaigns!
