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?

That's what ChatGPT kept suggesting but no, doesn't look like it at all. The graphics I remember hardly contained any greens. I can remember black backgrounds with harsh pink/purple borders and texts.

Having gone through some of the football manager games of that period, it seems the one I had back in the day was rudimentary, even compared to its contemporaries. I now suppose it was some hobby project that was distributed in small circles, and somehow got into the hands of my Dad, who passed it along. That was the seed for my years-long addiction to Championship Manager :D
