seeing your avatar for the first time was one of those moments where you realize that you don’t actually have any meaningfully unique experiences

Fuck I haven’t thought about this game in years. My brothers and I would play the shit out of this against each other when we were in elementary school, probably from one of those 100-in-1 CD game collections.
My contribution is probably Rise To Ruins, maybe? A little God simulator combined with tower mechanics and inevitably being overrun by corruption. https://store.steampowered.com/app/328080/Rise_to_Ruins/
yeah i wouldn’t be who i am today without those 200 Games Volume 3 cdroms, bless you ethically questionable publishers grabbing stuff off bbses
i remember playing a 3d wireframe version of scorched earth off of those that was pretty cool, wish i could retrieve the name

it was about driving an 18-wheeler and hitting as much wildlife as you could, a game he made while he was driving an 18-wheeler.

When I was little I played this weird game called Poy Poy. It was kind of like a really stripped down bare bones Power Stone. You basically ran around a flat arena throwing rocks / logs / missiles at the other opponents.
Also there was a character who was just named “kool”. This has stuck with me well into my adulthood.

A few weeks ago I bullied* @lonelyfrontier into streaming Poy Poy and Poitter’s Point 2: Some Subtitle With SODOM In It and I think we all lost our shit over how cool the game looked
Like, I’m kinda glad I wasn’t playing it but I sure did enjoy watching it and I would like to someday bet real money on competitive Poy Poy.
(Spoiler: we’re going to play this at the next Meetup.)
*Look maybe it was all her idea, maybe she mentioned Poy Poy first, I dunno, I’m just gonna take credit cuz that’s the thing that I do

OK how about this one
I somehow had a copy of this game as a kid. Floppy-to-floppy piracy networks are not to be underestimated

I played an olde Game Maker game called
Fidel Castro Saves Cuba from Murderous American Swine
the game started up with a Mac OS text-to-speech voice saying the title. I wish I could find any footage whatsoever but the game seems to have been lost to time, since the original YoYo Games sandbox page has been demolished
