I didn't play that until 18 when I bought the King's Quest collection. I think if that had been my first experience, I wouldn't have ventured into the adventure games world at all.

It did keep us busy on the fun DOS conversion

For me, it was the original King's Quest. Like you, my dad was looking at a way to keep my brother and I busy.

If I had to pick just 3, I'd say: Maiden (up the irons!), Megadeth, and Children of Bodom.

I introduced the 8-year-old to backgammon. She found it thrilling! We played 3 games before I had to do some yard work and other tasks as assigned.
