I came across this fun 30 day video game challenge on Instagram. It seemed nice to put it here on my blog because here I’ve more the opportunity to explain my choices. Let’s see if I can do this! They are 30 days, 30 questions. A fun way to look back at the games I’ve played. There are some spicy questions, but I think it’s a nice way to introduce  a bit of my taste in terms of gaming.

Let’s start with day 1! The first video games I ever played and I can remember, I think, are the Lemmings and Anthill. Both games were in MS-​​DOS, when I really was still a youngster. The Lemmings – Little guys who spawn in a level and you had to guide them safely  to the exit. I remember that there were a number of commands that you could give them. Sometimes they had to dig holes, build stairs, you name it. I was always a bit sad when I had to sacrifice some in order to save the rest.
Anthill – Was a simple game, where you had to catch ants and eggs. You’d to watch out for the red ants, they bite! I remember it as a game I didn’t like that much. It was frustrating and not much fun.

I actually have found a video on YouTube where you can watch a bit of the Lemmings gameplay (3hours!).

Midtown madness was the first racing game that I’ve played. I think I was 9 years old. I drove around Chicago for hours. My favorite car was the VW beetle that had such a cute flower in the dashboard when you drove with the in-car view. It often took really long before the buildings were loaded, but the graphics and gameplay of the game were (at that time) good and fun!
