Why Is Neg-Rep Not Allowed?

RE: Why Is Neg-Rep Not Allowed?
This is the game which made me a lifelong gamer, 28 years ago.

I played one of the Pokemon games (red, I think) in high school and finished it, but I never continued with the series.

This was my first video game to own:

See... that's the problem. You talk condescendingly about games, and yet you haven't played many of the best games ever made (which were made specifically for gamers your age).

Absolutely. I probably logged more game hours playing SimAnt than is medically recommended.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I went to acronymfinder.com to see what those were...
MoO - Master of Orion ?
WC II - Warcraft 2 ?

These came a bit after my age.... in an age when we'd get new games by exchanging 1.4MB diskettes...

MoO was 1993, Warcraft was 1994 and the sequel WCII 1995... all of this before the noted 1997. Sim Ant was 1991.

Doom was 1993. Either Doom came after your age, or you simply missed a number of solid titles for DOSBox.

Anybody play those learning games in the 90s? I played most of the Jump Start series, Reader Rabbit, Magic Schoolbus software, and bunch others. There was some weird typing game I remember that had talking hands too.
