We didn’t have any paid games or consoles in our house. My childhood was full of flash, Java and mobile games. I had almost a 100 games on my mother’s phone which had like 2 or 4GB space max. I’m still not sure how I achieved that feat having 20mbps internet speeds.
I fondly remember games like Hill Climb Racing, Fireboy Watergirl, Bob the Robber, Papa Louie’s games, 3 Pandas, Temple Run, Subway Surfers, Taxi Rush — and there were many more. I absolutely loved playing these and imagining my own story, especially in open world games. In Extreme Car Simulator I would run a taxi service.
