Hi all 4laugh Trying to be active again as I've been away for some time sigh i'msorry :cc as well as to get this forum going tehe

Q: What were some computer games (of any kind) you played as a kid, and are they still available to play? These can be from the web or from CD's, etc. (i guess revealing our answers will also tell us how old we are or if we haven't grown up if we still play/revisit HAHA)


Legend: A = still available
G = no longer exists


I played:
Madeline's European Adventures (CD-rom) (the best) (try Amazon'ing it to purchase)
Reader Rabbit's 2nd Grade (CD-rom) (i think it was this one, it involved a lion and a library, and a castle it was so fun dude)

I'm old enough that there weren't a ton of computer games out when I was a little kid. It took till I got older for games to come out.

I do remember playing:

Pong (A: on-line now)

I can't remember the other games.

    The ones on Barbie.com and the ones on Disney Channel's site! I especially loved the makeover and babysitting games on the former and the Kim Possible game on the latter. For a short time, I was big into the bus-driving game on the Hey Arnold! section of Nickelodeon's website.

I played a lot of computer games as a form of procrastination. It's also quite interesting to see how much these games/websites developed over the past years.

I used websites such as:
Miniclip
Addictinggames
Kongregate
Transformice
Clubpenguin
Habbo (and other sites similar to this)
Y8

I tried a bunch of games too like:
Wonderland Online
Sims
Pac-man
Counter Strike
and lots more
whee

I was really disappointed when clubpenguin closed. I found an old membership card that I haven't used and the time when I wanted to use it was when I found out that clubpenguin already ceased to exist.

Me too, I loved the barbie.com website!! it was so annoying that it got absorbed by some other website.


I used to play riddle school a lot, and other flash games. I also liked runescape, club penguin, toontown, adventure quest, neopets!
