Myst, Riven, etc.
Apart from Legos, these were what I played the most growing up. Even without mass-destruction or an ungodly amount of severed torsos and de-spleened corpses, the extensive backstory and ridiculously difficult puzzles made this my favorite game series of all time.
In my opinion, the fourth one was the best.
Actually, now that I think about it, I vividly recall constructing my own surreal landscapes out of Legos immediately after playing through the first game. I had absurd little puzzles and mechanical doo-hickies that didn't actually do anything together, apart from me saying "ok, that lever just made this bridge rotate so now you can access the chamber over on that island."
I made my little sister "play" through them.
God, I was such a nerd.
Myst, anyone?

I remember when myst came out I was too young to appreciate it. I proceeded to click about three things, get stuck in a loop, and call the game stupid.
Then I played with my neighbor's action figures. Guy had Predator guys, Alien aliens, a giant tub of jurrassic park crap... he even had the trailer!

yeah, I was around 12 as well when I played the first one... the puzzles made so little sense so much of the time, but somehow I managed to get through it... I definitely used a walkthrough for most of Riven (the sequel) though... The puzzles in the later games became much more intuitive and makey-sense-ish.
I just realized that I used ellipses way over my daily quota in this post alone.
And man-oh-man, I wanted jurassic park dinosaurs so badly when I was growing up--especially the "battle-damaged" ones with chunks of flesh that came off to reveal bones and gore.
My parents wouldn't buy me any.
That was the very first PG-13 movie my parents let me watch. I think I was 8.

Yeah my neighbors had like five of those ones. They seriously had somewhere around 25 to 35 dinosaurs, the biggest of which being a T-rex with a mouth big enough to eat the people that came with it. And I had a couple dinosaurs myself, so we seriously would make jurrassic park, have our four Jeff Golblums drive around in a car, and then kick ass when the dinosaurs broke out.jmatthew wrote: And man-oh-man, I wanted jurassic park dinosaurs so badly when I was growing up--especially the "battle-damaged" ones with chunks of flesh that came off to reveal bones and gore.
