I grew up on an Amiga 500. Looking back, my dad had a great taste in software, I had a lot of the classics.

The first game I ever played on that was Silkworm, and the one that impressed me most was Shadow of the Beast. Terrible gameplay, incredible visuals and sound that, imo, still hold up today.

I taught myself English by playing Sierra adventure games. Used to ask my dad what every word meant until he brought an English dictionary.
