I played tons of the classic 90s games like Backyard baseball, Spy Fox and 7th Guest (Which I'm sure had nothing to do with me being desensitized to Horror movies and games XD), but I also spent a lot of time messing with programs like GameMaker, Anim8tor and random maze creator type programs. What were yours?

I grew up with some of the first games. Loved Sierra's library. Played some of the more eclectic games like Battle Beast and Howie's Great Word Adventure. As far as programs went, I didn't get much into it until later. But, I do remember using the Microsoft Works Creative Writing Program. That was fun to do designs on.
