I used to be addicted to computer games and was having a lot of problems with it, one of them is visual impairment. Don't know why, recently this addiction has been unconsciously cured. There might be 2 reasons behind of it: mid 20 is the age when people stop having interest playing computer games, or games' quality have been dropping steadily since the start of 21st century. I think the latter makes more sense. Games used to be fun and smart, not just cooking stuffs or growing farm and then 3 days later you need to log-in again or you score will go down.
Nevertheless, I've compiled a list of remarkable games I've ever played in the correct sequence as I could remember.
- Prince of Persia is a DOS game. Not much stories mentioned but overall it was quite fascinating for that era.
- Romance of The Three Kingdoms (KOEI) is also a DOS game. I guess it's written in C? It's a strategy game based on the famous Chinese history about The Three Kingdoms period, I used to read the official novel written by Luo Guanzhong composed of 120 chapters.
- The Incredible Machines (Sierra Entertainment) is also a DOS game.
- Super Mario Bros 1, 2, 3 is a Nintendo console game series. Everyone born in 80's might know this game as it was so popular and broadly sold illegally as one of the preloaded package of "made-in-china cheap Nintendo copycat".
- Pizza Tycoon by MicroProse, is a DOS game. I spent a lot of time playing this.
- Sim Tower by Maxis
- Sim Farm by Maxis
- Theme Hospital by Bullfrog, with some cute diseases like bloaty head and slack tongue
- Mortal Kombat, exactly this version. It used to be cool and now it sounds like funny CPU tones.
- Transport Tycoon Deluxe by Chris Sawyer. It's good for brain.
- Sailor Moon RPG is quite a girlie useless game, but I finished it anyway.
- Parasite Eve is a PS game, RPG style. It was fun and cool. I spent like 1 week vacation playing this non-stop.
- Space Colony is a "the-sims" style game, except that this is on outer space.
- Super Mario RPG
- The SIMS 2
- The SIMS 3 - the last game I've played up to now.
- A friend was suggesting Team Fortress 2. Perhaps I will try it.

The industry moved towards making more FPSs and generally games with more eye-candy than substance.
But there are still nice games being built by indie developers. Have you checked out Humble Bundle series?

I believe the Game Developers are focusing much more in this new 90s generation... And this 90s generation was raised watching Pokemón and other Low Quality Animes... They didn't have the chance to have a so rich childhood like 80's had... They like puppy things and growing potatoes on farms... We like drama, intensity and strategy... I remember a lot of other games, such as UFO, Constructor, Age of Empires... Where are these games now???? Anyway... Mi Mee, you are a genius... it's amazing a hot girl like you know so much about Geek world :P, keep up the good work ;)
Honey, you gotta write a nice game :P, they keep creating only BS... At least there are some nice games like MS3, MW3, CS...
