Oh, lots. One that comes to mind is my surprise and joy when my mom brought home Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken. They had just been released. Until then I had mainly played text games like the original Star Trek game (that had you shooting Klingons in a top-down grid).

I had an obsession with the LucasArts adventures. I hunted down copies of just about all of them when I was younger. Monkey Island being my all time favourite. Was nice that they didn’t kill you off at every opportunity like the Sierra games did.
Shareware games were crazy. I had a CD compilation of called ‘250 bat and ball games’ with clone after clone of breakout/arkanoid and nothing else. What a time to be alive
