DICE TeamWay back, I convinced my gran that purchasing a "computer" would be educational. That "computer" was a ZX Spectrum, with a whopping 48k of memory.
There was not much programming involved, the odd program copied from library books, which failed miserably.
The games that I enjoyed were Chuckie Egg and Horrace goes Skiing. Chuckie Egg was a platformer type game collecting items within a time frame and Horrace goes Skiing was similar to Frogger.
There was also a racing game, which I forget the name, that my friend had. It was pretty cool zip zapping round silverstone at (ahem) 100mph.. I wasn't any good, but it was fun to compete with friend..
*cough* yeah, and my friend wouldn't lend me her copy, so that I could get better.*coughs*
Think there are various severity to gaming addiction lol... Was hooked on many many games throughout the years, Baldurs gate, planescape, Ultima, wizardry, pacman, space invaders, leisure suit larry lololol....
The most intense, however, was the Mass Effect Trilogy... If I played anymore of that I may need to see a psychiatrist.
EA Staff (Retired)Mass Effect can have this effect on people 🙂
Speaking of RPG, which hooked me, it was Eye Of The Beholder. Spend days drawing mazes and fighting monsters. It was my ticket to the vast table-top RPG universe.

Oh yes!!! How can I forget Eye of the beholder lol... Think I played that on one of the old green screen monitors...
@VladVonCastein you can buy the whole Eye of the beholder trilogy on GOG if you are itching to replay it🙂
Plus, it works on Windows 10 fine😉
