At about the same time, or within 2 years, I got an NES and a Gameboy, and my grandmother bought a Tandy computer. There were also Apple IIe’s at my elementary school. So the first games for me were Super Mario Bros.(NES), Tetris(GB), Where In the USA Is Carmen Sandiego?(DOS), and Oregon Trail.

My cousins and I loved Carmen Sandiego but we were mostly too young for it. Instead of using the travel guide to find the answers like we were supposed to, one of us would run through the hall between the computer room and the living room, relaying answers from our parents to whichever cousin had control of the keyboard.
