My family’s first PC was hand-me-down Amiga 2000; so these games helped shape me growing up:

Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis T-Rex Warrior* Cannon Fodder Sensible Soccer** The Settlers After the War

• Funny anecdote, if memory serves - it took my child brain over a year to figure out that holding down both mouse buttons made you move forward…

** Namely, the demo disk version which was set in 1945 and replaced the ball with a bomb that would periodically explode, killing nearby players and removing them from the match.

They are getting stricter, but there are still ways around it - and it only gets easier if you have friends/family (or are willing to make friends) in said countries; the internet is a global community, after all.

Especially if you can finagle a subscription out of one of the cheaper countries, too!
