They are somewhat hazy and, most probably, particularly rose-tinted.
The games I played after 1998 lacks some of the mystique of those early memories, as I had a better grasp of English and mostly remember what I played [^6].

One of the things that have made me mull over these early gaming memories in particular, is that I often didn’t know the titles of the games until much later.
I have memories of playing all these cool games, but I didn’t get to revisit them until much later.

It must have been around 93-94 before I started school, as we moved in 1995.
I never managed to get the hang of Gorillas, probably due to my inability to read and my limited knowledge of angles.
