I'm 26, and I remember my grandmother got all of these Apogee shareware games when I was like six or seven (she wrote instruction manuals for software for a living)... in particular I have fond memories of playing Secret Agent every time I'd go to visit. I also remember thinking Commander Keen was like the hardest thing, ever. Until a couple Hanukkahs later when they bought me an original fat Gameboy, video games and Apogee shareware titles were entirely synonymous for me.

The Nintendownload X-Press must never stop. NEVER.

In RPGs I have a real inexplicable need to talk to every NPC in every town after any major event in the game world, just to see if they have some canned opinion about it. Also, in RPGs, if I died after talking to a bunch of NPCs and my save was prior to said conversations, I will go back to those people, initiate conversation, and likely just hammer the buttons to skip through whatever it is they have to say, even if I know perfectly well it's inconsequential to gameplay.
