For me, the games that had an impact on me were text adventure games as well as DOOM.  I know that Wolfenstein 3D was mentioned, but DOOM further surpassed that in terms of an immersive 3D-ish FPS. Quake went even further than DOOM but giving you true 3D environments in an FPS. The RetroAhoy YouTube channel has some great documentaries on DOOM and Quake, as well as Wolfenstein 3D.  Check them out here:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A4-SVUHQYI">RetroAhoy: DOOM</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OipJYWhMi3k">RetroAhoy: Quake</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSb87DC-PtA">RetroAhoy: Wolfenstein 3D</a>As for the worst game I’ve ever played, I can’t say it was E.T. because I actually enjoyed *and finished* that game as a kid in spite of the sprite collision frustrations (I actually read the fine manual like a proud card-carrying nerd before I graduated to geek status).  I *can* say that it was Superman64. I had heard stories of how bad it was, but didn’t believe it until I tried it myself. Horrible mechanics that made me long for the old Atari 2600 Superman game.Anyway, Oh-nee-za-row-nee!<br> <br> <br> <br> Website comments:<br> <br> <br> <br> * Steven Traux – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/1668500696795730/posts/2134768780168917/">The Schoy Bros’ Flashback Arcade</a><br> <br> <br> <br> QotW: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chuck.tomasi/posts/10157550369433455">What is the worst video game you’ve ever played?</a><br> <br> <br> <br> On This Day In History for March 6, 2019<br> <br> <br> <br> This is the 65th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.
