I'm looking for that moment in time when you just fell in love with a game.
Here are three from me:
Balance of PowerWhen I realised I could read a newspaper in every different country in the world, and that they could all have a bearing the game. The
game is still available, if you can run it.
Dragon RealmsWhen one of Kelly's room descriptions was both beautiful and frightening and so evocative I wanted to cry.
MystThe first moment I saw Myst, because it was graphically more beautiful than any other game I had ever seen before.
These are all old now, but they stay with me still.
I'm doing a presentation on games, and would be forever grateful for your input.
