Yeah, I remember getting Doom and playing the heck out of it, then learning to add mods and playing it again. But my very first love was Wasteland, and that's where I first learned to alter a game to add ammo, etc. on my Commodore 64.

Rise of the Triad is a game I loved dearly, and so rarely hear anyone else mention, and even rarer from a fellow woman gamer, so woot! It's so nice running into other women who love games. Sorry if this gets long, but I never get to talk games with anyone (hub's NOT a gamer at all, nor are most of my friends).

I still play games all the time, but no platformers for me, 'cause hand arthritis sucks. But I'm game for most RPGs, Diablo-type, WoW, Slay the Spire, Elder Scrolls, Fallout (since the first one), Baldur's Gate franchise, Minecraft, Cult of the Lamb, and cozy games, too (in Stardew Valley, I was thrilled when they let you ask Krobus to be your roommate with no romance; it was refreshing). Escape from Duckov and Atomic Exile are really fun, too.

I also used to mock it until I played Power Wash Simulator, then I took part in that acedamic study by Oxford which showed that yes, it is good for mental health. Then I got Crime Scene Cleaner, which is also very satisfying in a gruesome kinda way. Right now I'm going through a demo phase, and trying games like All Will Fall and Windrose (yarr, a piratey surival crafting game).

All this to say that girlie games are fine, but there are so many other genres that are just as if not more fun. Experiment a little; you might find you like something that you never thought was in your wheelhouse. No labels, just fun.

Aww.

My first games were on an Apple ][, one of those ones with the green text you had to use DOS commands to work. We played Sneaker and Dino Hunter and Tapper.

My dad worked for a telecomm company so he would get games and bring them home. So I got things like Prince of Persia, Jazz Jackrabbit, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure and Commander Keen.

Then the FPSs like Wolfenstien and DooM came out and DooM in particular was instrumental in my... everything. My gamer handle is a DooM reference. Oddly I never got into Quake or Half-Life.

When Rise of the Triad came out, dad and I also got the PC Gamer magazines with the cheat codes. He was teasing me not telling me the God Mode code for RotT, and he said "I would but I'm TooSad to tell you" and I STILL remember that.

DooM 2, Warcraft 2 and Primal Rage were the last games he got me before he passed away. I still have my DooM 2 strat guide.

As an aside, do you play Marvel Rivals? It's the only MOBA I play.
