post #1 of 27
Thread Starter 
I just had a childhood nostalgia moment was flicking through the channels and one of the channels was airing a documentary movie on Julian Assange's life and came across a scene where a kid was playing a game on an Amiga.

The game he was playing was this:

I remember spending a lot of weekends playing this game with my closest friends, so I decided to create this thread so you can share your childhood memories from the 80's/90's if your old like me hahaha.

I remember Wacky Wheels but, before than i remember playing educational games in kindergarten on command line based machines with 5.24 floppies. There was one game where you did math and built robots by choosing different kinds of parts to fit ie different arms and heads etc etc.
