Uhm … I spent HOURS AND HOURS with it but I don’t remember ever finishing it.
Just to be sure we’re talking about the same Hex since there seems to be another game with the same name, here’s a gameplay video of the game I mean:

IMPOSSIBLE! I’ve aged twenty years in the past two years :stuck_out_tongue:

And later … Age of Empires … I most loved v. 2, IIRC, later versions got more “perfect” on the surface but somehow they bored me, the feeling was gone.

Age of Mythology! for OS X … AWESOME! Especially LAN parties were a lot of fun … I was 45 meanwhile (in 2002), an elderly child :smiley:

Not long before the first PCs began showing up in my business, I encountered a game on a TRS-80 (4K of RAM!!!). Apple Panic. Doesn’t anyone remember Apple Panic?

Wolfenstein 3D (the original on a 80286 computer). Doom on a 80486, couple years after that.

Sokoban (I’ve seen ports of it on just about every computing platform I’ve ever used)

Spike on the Vectrex. Vectrex was already way out of date when I played it but the game was very fun and it was nice to think how far the programmers had gone out of their way to make the damn console talk.

At the arcades: Daytona USA and the original Time Crisis. It’s terrifying how much money I sunk into these.

I remember my best friend did buy a nice computer then, only to play age of empire and then diablo II

At that time I did play the Sims, civilization, SimCity and Baldur’s Gate.

All these games looks far too old now but I still enjoy some coming a bit later like Sims 2, blitzkrieg, patrician3&4,TDU2…

RIP Flash ;__; I have a lot of nostalgia for those old browser games. That category included most of my potential responses to this thread – Flash games had unparalleled variety in genre and level of sophistication.

In offline games, I have a soft spot for The Sims 2 (2004) and the Finding Nemo game (2003).

Also a lot of the early Wii titles: Wii Sports (2006) Wii Play (Tanks, ofc) (2006), Mario Kart Wii (2008), and lastly New Super Mario Bros Wii (2009).

I also can’t forget Minecraft, especially Minecraft Beta videos on Youtube ca. 2011–12, and later playing Hunger Games server maps and MineZ.

I have fond memories of the original Bloons (2007).

The Bloons franchise began as a series of archery Flash games, before developing into the current succession of increasingly advanced tower defence releases.
