Hey everyone,
My first experience with DOS games must have been Wolfenstein 3D, as my dad was a huge fan. I vaguely remember going to the local Radio Shack with him and getting “Lemmings” for our computer at the time, no idea what kind of PC it was.
Eventually, I branched into console games: Nintendo (Super Mario 3), Final Fantasy 6 (Final Fantasy 3 in the U.S.), Final Fantasy 4/2. We had Might and Magic 2: Gates to Another World on the Sega, Might and Magic 3: Isles of Terra on the SNES, and King’s Quest on our home PC.
I think it was around 1995 when we first got AOL Online and also subscribed to the Prodigy online service. I didn’t have the opportunity to get online much as it tied up the phone line sadly.
This site is wonderful, VGA 256 is great and sent me a link to this site. He maintains the Dimwood.net, which has a host of resources for Betrayal at Krondor, this month’s game.
