Exercise 1.5: Your Childhood

Exercise 1.5: Your Childhood - List ten games you played as a child; for example, hide and seek, four square, tag, etc. Briefly describe what was compelling about each of those games.


  1. Sorry!
    It was fun to try to get all of my pieces home before my siblings did, and it was so satisfying to send one of their pieces back to start when they were just a few squares away from their safety zone
  2. Monopoly
    It was fun to compete with my siblings, and to see the horrified looks on their faces when they landed on boardwalk with hotels
  3. Pokemon (Emerald Version)
    Building and training my team, stopping Team Aqua and Team Magma, catching legendaries, defeating the Elite Four and Champion - it was entertaining and engaging throughout.
  4. Chrono Trigger
    The story was engaging and emotional, the characters were surprisingly relatable, the battle system was dynamic and intuitive, the soundtrack was beautiful.
  5. Super Smash Bros
    Every battle is different, every character unique, and the items made battles that much more fun.
  6. Minesweeper
    The strategy involved and the randomized boards made this game entertaining and compelling.
  7. Settlers Of Catan
    The board was different every time, and each game took unique turns that ensured that every game was entertaining.
  8. Tag
    We got to run around and not get yelled at. What's not to love?
  9. Hide and Seek
    The suspense of waiting to see if you were found, waiting as the seeker passes your hiding spot. The tension and suspense makes it compelling
  10. Pac-Man: Adventures in Time
    It's a new twist on the classic Pac-man, with unique boards and entertaining cut scenes.
