Is this ‘adult’ me? Because if it is, then something set in medieval Europe, that involves building a chapel, & gathering crops, will do fine. Or Skyrim.

I’ve been gaming since the mid>late 70s. That was a blip-blip Pong game. Then came the home computers: ZX81, Spectrum, C64, Atari ST. I loved those early days, they seemed like the start of something very new & exciting.

It was a *very* long time ago, & I was *quite* young.
Possibly ‘Salem’s Lot’?

🤔

‘Dungeon Master’ happened in 1988. I’d never played anything like it: there was a spell casting system, twiddly inventories with weapons & armour, hunger & thirst, puzzles, & monsters.
And it ran on a system with 1 Mb RAM. Truly groundbreaking.
