I like this because it reminds me of Lemmings.
My mum has been a single mum her whole life, and when I was a kid she couldn't always get the most popular games but I believe she was told Lemmings would be very good. She got an entire box set, including a Christmas edition! At first I was of course distraught, until my brother installed it on his PC and I would constantly ask to play it. So many hours went into it, and it's not the first time my mum had really surprised me with something I didn't know I'd end up appreciating so much. I think I still have it somewhere...
If you’re able to share that memory with her please do so. It’s very nice!
Thank you, I often do. I sometimes show her the Pacman game she got me whilst abroad, thinking it was Pokémon Yellow, and reminding her that I actually really enjoyed it and wouldn't have known about all the various collections of Pacman if she didn't follow my very crude description of Pikachu (which thinking back, could have been describing Pacman as well lmao).
She's going through chemo treatments, so it's more important to remind her of these things. For me at least.
