Basically everyone's first non-Tetris game, right? Taught me the beauty and wonder of hunting and dead children.

I'd say so, yeah. I think it was one of the first games that was available to anybody that had a PC back in the day. I know I spent many hours trying to figure out what the hell this game was. And I'd say it's still great. Though Death Road To Canada is also a great spiritual successor if you consider it one.

I never had it at home but I killed many a 15 minutes at the end of computer class. The day I finally won felt like the end of an era.

I think that's how I did it as well. A friend of mine had it and she always played it. I had it as well but I wasn't big on PC gaming back then even though I did still play a lot of it.

Wow. In school we had this, Snake and a trapezoid/mechanics/puzzle game that I can no longer remember the name of. All defining moments in early PC gaming for me, because at that time we didn't have a computer in the house.

And yeah, for its time, this game didn't sugarcoat the havoc of famine and disease. Makes me wonder if my 'ol bitty teachers even realized what they were delving out to their students. Or maybe they did, and that was the point.

This is more of an American school thing. I've never played it. I'd probably like it now since it's kind of a roguelike rpg.

Games I remember from school computers: Just some snake game with purple circles that you pick up.

Games I remember from library computers: Sid Meier's Colonization and Sid Meier's Pirates.

I played it when I was a kid on those tiny green and black screens at school. I absolutely loved it! 5/5
