@PitheadStudio it's more a decade of games. All the good old stuff from the 90s!
More than one game had influence on me personally and as a gamer, that's why there are more than one: Monkey Island, Alone in the Dark, A Link to the past, Broken Sword, VTM Bloodlines, Black Mirror, Legend of Grimrock 2, Gothic, Life is Strange.

@PitheadStudio Wenn ich mich auf einen Titel begrenze, muss ich #Elite nennen. Seit den C64 Zeiten hat mich dieses Spiel in seinen unterschiedlichen Iterationen bis in die Gegenwart begleitet. Aktuell ist es #EliteDangerous, wo ich mindestens ein Mal die Woche unterwegs bin. ✨🚀

@PitheadStudio That was either Kerbal Space Program, which is the main reason I now work as a gamedev, or Realms of Arkania ("Das Schwarze Auge: Die Nordlandtrilogie" in German), which got me into RPGs (both digital and pen&paper).

@PitheadStudio For my personal development and gaming preferences: Deus Ex, no doubt.
Before that the System Shocks - and Thiefs.
After that... well. Not much, actually.

To a much more limited range, but still worth mentioning: Dawn of War 1 for bringing 40K in my life.

@PitheadStudio

The game(s) I have played the most is Civilization (part 1 to 4). I stil love to play Civ 4 from time to time.

The game that has impressed me the most is System Shock 1. It was a hell to get it running with this memory consuming CD and mouse driver in the 640KB main memory but it was an experience.

But if 'influenced' means had an impact to important decisions in my life, the answer is: none.

Games are fun and time consuming but not important to me.

@PitheadStudio

I must correct myself. There is one game series that influenced my life a little.
This was Kings Quest. I played this games at a time where I started to learn English. Because nobody translated them I hat to play the English version. So these games teached me some vocabulary like 'carpet', 'pillow' or 'unicorn'.

@PitheadStudio Beeinflusst ist vielleicht zu hoch gegriffen, aber beeindruckt haben mich einige Spiele zu ihrer Zeit: Tetris, Mario 3, Gorillas 🫣, DSA - Schatten über Riva, Baldur’s Gate Trilogie, Diablo (I), Civilization 2, Anno 1401, Witcher I, Command & Conquer (diverse), Warcraft (3), Age of Empires 2

Seit DSA 3 und Civ 2 wollte ich selbst Spiele machen und diese Spiele habe mich zur professionellen Softwareentwicklung gebracht. Also anscheinend doch nachhaltig beeinflusst

@PitheadStudio I truthfully cannot pick just one or two games here. There are so many that have influenced me from a young age, and all the way through my adult life ❤️

@PitheadStudio

DSA - Die Schicksalsklinge

Danach noch Dune 2, Myst, TES 2: Daggerfall, UFO
