Our grade would be dismissed earlier than the high school students so he would go to the high school library, chill there and wait for his brother. The library had these games installed on the computers there and one day I got invited to check it out. It certainly helped kill the time waiting for the bus in a much better fashion than sitting under a fucking tree. They were nothing like anything I'd played before, requiring a bit more mental sharpness. If these kinds of games were the Food Pyramid, stuff like Doom and the Konami beat-'em-ups were the junk food from the convenience store.
I probably gotta watch a youtube of "top 20 90s point and click adventure games" or something
