I noticed that pretty much all games I played in my life have been released after 1990. So now I’m asking those with earlier experience here:
Which games can you recommend from before that time?

But: they should still be fun in their own right and not just interesting to play in an historian sense of trying to understand how genres developed.

Games I played that are older than 1990:

  • Tetris (classic for a reason)
  • Pacman (interesting but simple)
  • Prince of Persia (was too young to understand how to correctly play this game, I should maybe try to play it again)
  • The Legend of Zelda (too old school and clunky for my liking)

    The Gameboy’s version of BurgerTime (maybe BurgerTime DX?) is then a must play. It’s better balanced than the arcade, though I wouldn’t go as far as call it easy, and better structured IMO.

      Nice recommendation. The one I enjoyed most at the time was the Intellivision 2 version, but now I’ll have to look up the Gameboy version for a comparison.
