So which do you prefer to be known as, the furry Noel Edmonds or the furry Dominik Diamond? :P
This third video is about the era when I started getting into Apogee games; we got our first PC about this time, just breaking out of the BBC Micro era and after a disastrous flirtation with early Macs. My first introduction to Apogee was Monster Bash, and dad enjoyed it enough that he looked into their back catalogue. Secret Agent, Commander Keen 1 and 4 and Word/Math Rescue were the ones I remember most; Wolfenstein 3D was when I first noticed the difficulty I have with motion-sickness in first-person shooters (specifically when strafing along walls hitting the spacebar looking for hidden passageways).
On a vaguely-related note, I miss the days when the stars in space were made up of every colour the graphics card was capable of. :P There's something about that style that just hits all the nostalgia buttons for me. :P
