As an immigrant, I know the magnetic power of America's greatness. As a former border Governor, I know the importance of securing our border and fixing our absurdly broken immigration system. As an American, I know that kids shouldn't be pawns while the "adults" figure it out.

Whenever I see an overdressed rich woman at the grocery store, I pretend to need something and say, "Excuse me. Do you work here?" Helps to keep things real!

Neverwinter Nights (1991 - 1997) holds the distinction of being the first graphical online multiplayer RPG. A joint-venture of AOL, Stormfront Studios, SSI, and TSR, it played very similar to SSI's Gold Box games and was set in the Forgotten Realms setting. #DOS #RetroGaming #D&D

Treasures of the Savage Frontier (1992) finished this two part series and allowed NPC's to fall in love with the player characters depending on different actions taken. Not a massive seller as the interest in Gold Box games was beginning to wane by 1992. #D&D #DOS #RetroGaming

@ExpectGame @CrazyBunchTeam I unashamedly admit that I played these games well below the suggested age restriction.

The final game in SSI's Gold Box Forgotten Realms series, Pools of Darkness (1991), is a fitting finale to the series. The goal of the game is to finally restore order to the realm of Faerun, ending Lord Bane's rule forever. #D&D #DOS #RetroGaming

Pool of Radiance (1988) is SSI's first Gold Box game. An early example of the cRPG, it was the first licenced AD&D computer game, set in the popular Forgotten Realms campaign setting. SSIs biggest selling game, it's outsold competitors Bard's Tale and Ultima that year. #D&D #DOS

I am very proud to see that my dear friend @gnomeslair has launched the campaign for his book Virtual Cities, which is set to bring us a very unique and illuminating analysis of urban landscapes in games. A very fine venture, well worth checking out: unbound.com/books/virtual-…

Manhunter 2: San Fransisco follows on from the first game and continues the story of the human resistance to the oppressive Orb regime. The final game in what was originally a planned trilogy, Manhunter London, was never released.

One of Sierra's best adventures, and very under-appreciated in my opinion, is the 1988 masterpiece, Manhunter: New York. In a future where the earth has fallen to the Orbs, you're a Manhunter working for the Orbs to track down other humans who are forming a resistance.

Castle of the Winds was released by Epic MegaGames in 1993 and is a CRPG. A story based loosely on Norse mythology it's a great title and worth getting (it's public domain since 1998).

Ancients 1 Death Watch (1991/93) was originally released as Shareware by the designer but was later published by Epic MegaGames as an updated version. A first-person medieval fantasy turn-based RPG, a well executed game for it's time.

OverKill (1992) is a horizontal scrolling shooter from Epic MegaGames where your ship can be upgraded with different weapons through picking them up. Quite a challenging game!
