I was like 5 when i 1st touched a computer in 1997/1998 at pre-school, there was this shitty PC with all of these learning programs for kids,
But the one game I do remember was that windows95 Ski game, where you skied down the slope, and inevitably some Indomitable Snowman came to fricking devour you, I could never win that darn game, could one of you strags beat it? I never could
Later in about 2000, one of my uncles would donate his fricking 10 year old DOS-PC for her to type and print on, and holy frick was that thing old. It didn't even have windows on its desktop, and you could not use the mouse to open a program - you had to type number 1-40 to open the listed 40 odd installed programs lmoa.
However the fricker did have 2 excellent games installed on it!
The complete 6 Episodes of the 1st Wolfenstein 3D

which apparently you can just fricking play in ur browser these days
Ahhhhhhh good times, i would be able to 100% 2 episodes, however episode 2 and 6 were fricking bitches
Then there was Prehistoric
A dinosaur platformer. I basically smashed my spacebar into oblivion with this darn game
I also played the space cadet on windows98 like the 9gag post show!
Yep we had zero internet! We would play this at the school computer labs when the teacher wasn't looking, most boomer adults were just as tech-illiterate was we were with this new PC technology, that the library teacher, whom was also to be the Tech-lab/PC-lab teacher of our schools, didn't know how to fricking uninstall the darn games even to stop us from goofing off, instead of typing our assignments.
RSA mandated that due to the proliferation of computers in the business world, that by 1999-2000, all schools were to have computer-labs for the kids to learn tech literacy, but obviously only middle-class schools could accomodate this, I was very fortunate.
The very 1st game I played on a private computer, was on my aunts worklaptop, a monster of a machine that was barely portable because those early laptops weighted like bricks.
The magic Schoolbus games!

Come on dramatards, show me ur nostalgia !

OHH man , you guys remember that Jumpstart Horror game? Ive forgotten it for like 20 years
But it was an education gam after the yank Halloween, where your classmates got turned into monsters by a witch and you had to do maths to save them.
I could never remember the game's name

Heck yeah that's Jump Start 4th Grade Haunted Island my neighbor, traumatized me from an early age and I'm better off for it
It was so bad they actually ended up memoryholing it and made a different 4th grade one instead that wasn't spooky

Which one fricked you up the most, I think for me it was the labyrinth after your candle goes out. Either that or getting jumpscared randomly by the peepeehead ghost and sent to the shadow realm. Horrifying either way
