Everything was better in childhood – the grass is greener, the ice cream is tastier, and the games are more interesting. Perhaps they lacked photorealism or duration, but they were undoubtedly very memorable. In honor of International Children’s Day, the editors of Cybersport.ru decided to recall their favorite childhood games.

My PC appeared early – in 1998. In the evenings, I successfully conquered Paint, made “designer” inscriptions in Word and played in the capital show “Field of Miracles”. Now this game seems as stubborn as possible, and many phrases are stolen by memes. For me, it was a good way to learn something new, as well as to extend a limited time at the computer under the pretext of “learning” – an intellectual game.
My favorites in high school were Heroes of Might and Magic III, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Sims, especially the Makin ‘Magic expansion pack. All these games, including “Field of Miracles”, shaped my views and taste – do good, magic and creativity to the fullest!

My acquaintance with games on the PC began at the age of 6-7 years. Then the main hits were shooters like Quake, Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. For some reason, the first title passed me at the time, I played quite a lot in Doom, but it was Duke Nukem that made the most impression on me. Unlike Doom, it was possible to look up and down, jump, squat, swim underwater, look at yourself in the mirror, drink water to restore health and so on. And it was Duke Nukem 3D that at that moment seemed to me the pinnacle of the gaming industry.
Since I was small and my parents were not allowed to play for a long time, most of the time I watched my father play. And when I had the opportunity to run and shoot myself, my dad included me some level of his preservation. I ran without a special goal, I simply cleaned it and did not know how to go further. Everything changed on Papa’s birthday, when his colleague, whom we invited to visit, showed me a sign of radiation, allowing me to change the level. From that moment on, I saw no reason to play something other than Duke Nukem 3D.
Most of all I remember two levels – with the subway and the flooded city. The first – because of the ability to ride on trailers, the second – because of the design itself. There were also many enemies that I was afraid of like fire – Octabrain. When I met them, I was overwhelmed with emotions and panic began: I fought not only with a virtual opponent, but also with my own fear.
The bosses seemed invincible – either my dad or a cousin, who was four years older than me, dealt with them. I only learned to kill them in the tenth grade: at some point in my childhood I just got tired of the game, but at 16 I remembered about it and came back to go through again. Despite the fact that I have not received any childhood impressions, Duke Nukem still fascinated me very much. I rejoiced at the opportunity to pay money to the strippers, enjoyed the unique levels, each of which had its own chips, and finally dealt with all the bosses. Thank you, 3D Realms, for my happy childhood! It was you who gave me emotions that I did not receive even opening gifts for my birthday or New Year! Remembering the time spent in Duke Nukem 3D will forever remain with me.
