mine was Castle of the Winds



I never got very far in it since it was a roguelike and I was a dumb kid, but to me it was the coolest game I can remember playing

every other game I owned was pretty static, but this game had different levels every time I played! Also you had different weapons and armor that could have stats. And it wasn't even ascii!

Also I was a really big chips challenge fan

This proud tradition was accepted by ID and formalized into Quake2 and Q3A with more personalized kill feeds.

loving owned. Actually I think Quake at launch has that as one of it's main features. %player ate a pineapple, %player was shafted, %player ate %players lightining rod, %player was nailed, etc.

I guess for multiplayer it would be either Melee or Double Dash. I was a teenager when SW Battlefront came out so I don't know if that counts.
