Games from my childhood
Played my first game, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, when I was three years old at a relative's house, where I was exposed to other PS1 games and PC games over the years. When I got my own laptop at nine I mostly continued to play the same PC games that I already knew.
The order kinda resembles how much time I spent on them, meaning top entries being games that I played often and consistently, and lower entries being games that I didn't play that often or consistently.

36 Games
It wasn't only my first game, I played it thoroughly throughout my childhood. I think I never had a greater sense of nostalgia hit me than when I played the N.Sane remake.
My very first point-and-click adventure game. It actually took me years to finish it myself.
I have actually never been good at these types of games, but I liked them regardless (& I didn't have much choice in the games I played). Learning about history was fun.
One of the first games I really owned and the first 3D action-adventure kind of game. Being able to freely walk around the horse farm practically made it 'open world' for me.
My face when I realized there were other Sam & Max games besides Hit the Road: :O
There are some games on this list that I'm pretty sure nobody outside Germany knows of. They are licensed games relating to popular German audio play/book series and are mostly a collection of mini games held together by a simple plot with some child-friendly 'educational' elements.
Peak 3D graphics for me at the time.
Could only play this with the cheat code that unlocked all levels to be playable from the start.
I was probably too young to watch that uncut intro movie, but even then I found it to be cheesy. The actual game however was too scary for me to finish.
Low-key scariest game of my childhood. I barely knew English when I first played it and couldn't unterstand that it was supposed to be comedic/satire. At least I learned a few words.
I thought ancient Greece looked so good that I wanted to teleport myself into the game.
Only played around Croft Manor and glitched my way up to the roof.
I didn't understand anything about this game but that didn't stop me from terrorizing the streets in a tank.
