If you're thinking of buying Z now - the modern remake is a careless trash port FYI

Mission Critical, back in the 90s

God I loved that game.

Crack Dot Com's "Abuse". Greatest run-and-gun platformer ever.

I don't remember where we got it, but back in the old days when everyone was trying to replicate the success of Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 & 2, we had School Tycoon. It's certainly no Rollercoaster Tycoon since it was specifically aimed at a younger audience, but I find it still enjoyable enough when you want to just kill time.

Definitely better than Deep Sea and Space Tycoon. That's a definite. We had those as well and I could never figure out how the hell to actually properly play them.

Kengo on PS2. Five bucks.

Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2. There was a box set with both games in it, and the box art for DK1 caught my eye, just this cartoonish grinning demon. Of course I got it home, and then noticed the box art for DK2, which certainly got my attention and definitely not because I have a fetish for thighs.

Quake series. Thousands of hours on them.

Z is a fantastic game but some of the levels infuriated me, no matter how well I played the AI seemed to have an answer... Turned out the difficulty goes up a notch after each loss since the devs expected you to git gud.

Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that!

I remember initially falling in love with the concept of the game and the humor and the graphics, but then feeling absolutely crestfallen that I couldn't accomplish anything in the game!

But then I had my very first big gamer epiphany - you need to be aggressive in Z! So not only was it one of my big surprise favorites, I had one of my most rewarding aha! moments as a gamer with it

Way late to the party, but I picked up Lost Kingdoms for the GameCube for $5 back when GameStop still had bargains. One of my favorite games to this day.
