What were your go-to Games (or programs! We're all nerds here) from your childhood (lemmy.world)

I played tons of the classic 90s games like Backyard baseball, Spy Fox and 7th Guest (Which I'm sure had nothing to do with me being desensitized to Horror movies and games XD), but I also spent a lot of time messing with programs like GameMaker, Anim8tor and random maze creator type programs. What were yours?

Heroes of Might and Magic III (but also 4 to a lesser extent and 5 briefly) were mainstays as hot-seat multiplayer when hanging around at somebody's house. Always a good time.

The other real defining game of my childhood was Diablo 2. We played that on and off for probably over a decade growing up, every couple of years people would get the itch again and everybody would tag along. Was a real cultural touchstone in school.
