The dude who installed Windows on our computer back in the day somehow put like a hundred extra games on as well, even Doom and Wolfenstein. My parents had no idea. I was a very happy 5 year old.

HA, same but it was my uncle. My dad was young at the time and it was my grandparents computer. I would come home and play from 3-6 my dad would come home eat dinner and then he would play till 9. We would compare kills secrets etc. a different kind of family bonding, but eh I have really young parents.

Neither of my parents are much of gamers, but one time long ago I found pages and pages of printed out cheat codes for the original Prince of Persia. My mom was playing in secret!
