Siblings would fight each other for a turn to play on their DOS computers, sometimes waking up early on the weekends to get to the PC first.
In the 90s, games were played primarily using a basic keyboard and mouse (no gaming mouses here) and, if you were one of the lucky ones, you had a joystick.
Here are some of the games 90s kids played:
- Ski Free
This was one of the most entertaining games during the decade. Kids had a blast trying to dodge the abominable snowman.
- Doom
Doom set the tone for many first-person shooter games that today’s kids play.
- Scooter’s Magic Castle
This game starred a little elf like character taking players through his castle where kids got to do various activities. This educational game was sneakily disguised as something fun.
- Diablo
Diablo was one of the first role playing games where players gathered weapons and potions among other items during their quest.
- Eagle Eye Mysteries
Kids got to play detective with twins Jake and Jennifer Eagle. Another educational game designed to get kids to learn while having fun.
