  I remember playing a lot of PGA Tour, long with Commander Keen I and King's Quest V, though for King's Quest V it was the CD-Rom Windows version. So many classics.

  Graphics were starting to get legit good in this time. Overlord / Supremacy was my first real time strategy game, the race to build up my resources and forces before it was too late was mesmerizing. Interesting that the fella who would later become famous for Earthworm Jim was involved in its development. Wing Commander was noted for its cinematic elements and graphical qualities, but it was just plain fun too. A lot of developers forget the making it fun part in big projects.

  King's bounty seems like a precursor to heroes of might and magic

  I cannot stress enough how Id Software, with its &quot;Commander Keen&quot; series, showed to the world in 1990 that &quot;Yes, you can have butter smooth scrolling and gameplay in a 2D platform game on PC&quot;. They really put to shame all the rests of the platform games of the same year (included that awful port of Castlevania, much worse even of the one on something at that time completely obsolete like the NES).<br>Also shout out to &quot;Ultima VI - the False Prophet&quot;, miles ahead of every other RPG available at the time, and probably one of the best RPG of the &apos;90s. I played it again a few years ago, thanks to the modern port &quot;Nuvee&quot; (which add many QoL improvements, such as the most needed full screen for the game window), and it still holds up pretty well, it&apos;s really an amazing game... The world, the characters, they are so full of life and of different stories... and to interact with them, you basically chat. You can spend months on this game. Origin at the time was really great...It really created worlds.

  Ski or Die with the buzzer sound going is a bit tough on the ears.
