Zoombinis was way better than it had a right to be. Enter, then Logical Journey Of The Zoombinis. But the real bonanza, however, came during the school summer holidays, when mum (who was a teacher) would bring home a grab-bag assortment of janky educational titles for me to beast my way through over the break. So I played everything I could get my hands on. It was, somehow, actually possible to run out of games. It wasn’t a great PC, and games were expensive, so I didn’t get new ones that often. A wilderness of sweets, as Milton oh-so-subversively described Eden. It’s a wonder beyond anything I could have dreamed of as a kid, but it’s also a wonder I might not have wished for. If I’ve heard of a game, the odds are I can have it on my PC in as little as a couple of minutes. But only since the advent of digital distribution, have their numbers so wildly and obviously exceeded my capacity to get through them all. Well, there were always too many games to play.
There are, these days, far too many games to play. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
