My favorites were rodents revenge and chips challenge!
Seleyon
More like with internet, but there wasn't so much to do on it yet
JHawke
There was tons to do. You could partake in interesting discussions for one. Or play text based games. Starkingdoms!
Rifneno
Fuck. I haven't had an urge to play MajorMUD in 15 years. What have you DONE TO ME!
JHawke
Nothing that hasn't been done to you already!

Long time ago, Compute and Compute's Gazette included type-em-in-yourself programs.
RoscoePSoultrain
Archive.org is down at the moment, but carries an archive of all issues. Bit of a trip to remember 35 year old magazine covers.
RoscoePSoultrain
Yay, it's back up now - https://archive.org/details/compute-gazette
prfesser
Thank you! I'll have to see if I can find my letter to the editor 30+ years ago that complained about an Electronic Arts (scam) product.
thekeglad
Yeah I remember a mag called input for the zx81 and spectrum machines with type yourself programs, spent a whole weekend when I was 9 or...
thekeglad
...10 years old doing just that, trying to run it getting syntax errors fixing it only to have another, eventually got it run only for it...
thekeglad
...to be a poxy square thing move in a W shape across the screen, never programmed again
ImOPsMom
Lol "hand carved" gfx in programming always suck. One of the many reasons there are tools to manage textures today
Volpe42
Had those with my vic 20
prfesser
Yup, I had the C64, got it in 84, wrote my PhD dissertation four years later using Paperclip. Two disks. How times have changed...
Volpe42
I only had the tape deck for my vic
prfesser
I splurged for one floppy drive. Was shittin' in high cotton, me. Funny: I paid about the same for each 'puter in 84, 90, 94, 97, 2000...
Lynkfox
Did you know there were more levels to pinball?
thekeyislost
Yes. And I had an out of body experience when I leveled up for the first time. I put so many hours into pinball... Mm.
BigTex1
There are but you had to buy “full tilt! Pinball” to get them.
Targe0
Yes buy.....
ravenfool
No buy! Only play!
Targe0
We all know good games just appear installed on your system.

Felineoverload
I never played the space one, just android and sometimes if I was feeling fancy, I'd go for the enigma one
sudokori
Wait what?
Sauroctonus
Was that where the bumpers changed colour?
Musklim
Actually is talking about Tables. The SpaceCadet was a demo from a Bundle of Pinball games. The SpaceCadet was complete but lower graphics.>
Musklim
However the SpaceCadet do have levels. It wasnt the bumpers colors, but red? Lights around the central circle. Levels are military ranks.
Volpe42
Also forgot Duke nukem, doom, wolfenstein...
FedExForExplosives
Yes, but those didn't come pre-installed on mom's work computer.

Y'all remember cracking the Quake demo because the whole game was on the CD?

I'd love those game remastered but with the same puzzles. I know Blizzard hasn't forgotten them.
KaytuKewbd
I didn't have any of those as a kid, but I played the hell out of Diablo.
Duttles
These all came with windows though
raknor88
Don't forget Oregon Trail. Also, might've been just me, but the little game that came out for the movie Independence Day.
Imjusthereforthecomments
That game was remarkably fun.
Volpe42
Oregon trail was 90s.
raknor88

Volpe42
Internet was around in the 90s, and there was also BBSs

iamthemadz
Stock windows didn't have those games.

But this doesn't say stock windows, this says no internet
iamthemadz
It also says starter pack.
