When getting my first iPod Touch, I immediately jailbreaked it to run a single app “illegal” app: ScummVM, an open source gem that finally brings all the LucasArts, Sierra, Revolution and XYZ adventure classics to any computer-like platform that ever existed, or so… Yep, right: I love and play my old retro games. I guess the Lucasfilm/LucasArts classics will always be my favorite games – from Maniac Mansion to Grim Fandango, I played them numerous times until the credits get rolled and although adventure games are not the most versatile games, they will never boring for me.

Every now and then I’m still playing games, but not modern games. The same for Steam games, except the dust and the packaging. I did not understand anything since our version of the game was completely in English, but I think playing those games was a good foundation for my English lessons at school.Īlthough I’m still buying contemporary video games, they typically end up dusted and stay shrink wrapped forever. As an avid NES kid, I was fascinated over the better VGA graphics and the fact that Indiana Jones is not a Native American. Finally, Lemmings and Indy 3 were my first mouse controlled games. on the NES, then at a friend’s with his C64 and then my dad brought home our first PC.

I have played my first computer games in the early 90s. TGIF! And therefore I’m going to write about gaming in our blog today.
