In the mid-90s my dad bought a Compaq Presario and the LucasArts games multi-pack. X-Wing, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, and Indiana Jones. Amazing. I was like a God.
I also remember playing a game called The Neverhood, which was a claymation liminal space game. Gave me nightmares of being trapped there, but it was still one of my favorites.
LucasArts was goated at that time
Damn this thread is making me feel ancient.
This was my first computer.
I still kick ass at Snake Byte.
(Also, The Neverhood has one of the best game soundtracks of all time. I still listen to it.)
This was my computer lab at school. Vividly remember the double stacked apple floppy drives and the wood box of floppy discs that you could check out at the school library to use the on the computers.
Didn't have a home PC until the Commodore 64. Still have that one in a box somewhere with way too many accessories.
Zork
I had every Zork. Even the crappy CD-Rom one with bad video starring the older brother from The Wonder Years.
Zork Zero was my favorite. I still have the Zorkmid coin that came with it.
Everybody wayyyohhhh
Mmmm-zibadaba zibadaba zadap-eee!
My gravy love, potaties love...

I had the exact same Lucas arts box set. Each of those games was amazing! And I think I actually finished them all. I ran them on my Packard Bell Pentium 75 with 8mb of ram. So much fun then!
Neverhood and Sam & Max were great games.
Neverhood was my fucking childhood, man. The day I beat the game my grandfather and I celebrated. Add to that Myst, RCT1, Zoo Tycoon, and eGames Pack Volume 1 (which had DEMONSTAR on it) and you've encapsulated basically 100% of my gaming experience until I discovered Minecraft in 09-10.
I was whatever was exactly one generation later. Also a Compaq but my games were a demo pack of X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Dark Forces, and Yoda Stories.
Tie Fighter and Dark forces were great games, but I always liked Xwing, because I was more accurate when the aiming reticle was locked center screen.
Did you check out the Neverhood sequel from a few years ago? Was via Kickstarter, I think.
FUCK YES NEVERHOOD
Day of the tentacle, lol. I remembers that. as well as prince of Persia and commander Keen
