RE: hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/1171
So just to the left of the VGA monitor are 4 (I think) big box DOS computer games—I was big into flight simulators I guess.
- B-17 Flying Fortress (MicroProse, 1992)
- Unknown box, too small to identify
- Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (Lucasfilm Games, 1991)
- Gunship (MicroProse, 1986)
Specifically I think for me the time from about 1990 to 1994, is the most magical time of computer games; sort of starting with The Secret of Monkey Island and ending with Wing Commander III.
Do you have personal favorites from that era of games?
