I used to like a lot of card games like rummy, 500,etc. There were also board games like Monopo
Went through a backgammon phase at one stage too.

I am sad so many people is bringing Monopoly up, because it is
objetively a very bad game. The
players get to build their empire with some negotiations going on during the first part until a
saddle point (game theory) is reached, and then it is a two hour long

If I had to name some non-videogame influential games from my
childhood, I would name Warhammer RPG
. Knizia's Lord of the Rings was also influential.

I'm not one to argue, but to say 'objectively' might stretch credulity a bit - lol. I don't disagree with your sentiment - if you ended up on the wrong side post 'saddle'....

and crossing the invisible line between the two of you in the back seat

Mine would be the game that I first seen on a friends computer that made me go and get my own 486dx33, The game was Doom! Thought it was the coolest thing that I could call someone elses computer and play against them.

Space Quest 3 was the first game I ever beat! I love those old Sierra titles. My favorite as a kid was Hero's Quest (later Quest for Glory).
My dad loved Leisure Suit Larry and when he wasn't around, I would play
it (when I could figure out the "prove your age" quiz hehe).

A new Space Quest? Wow that would be awesome. I haven't been
keeping up on gaming news lately so I'm a bit in the
dark.
I did hear though that the couple who worked on King's Quest were
working on a new game, I don't remember what it ws
though.
Some of those questions were hard, especially when you're not from the U.S. I think some would still be a challenge for me.
Don't forget "Corners" - great game to play when the back seat was full. :D

I liked playing Doom that way too. At the time, I was 13 and hadn't started working yet, so I couldn't afford to buy my own PC - but I had a hand-me-down PC with a 386SX-16 at the time (I don't remember how much RAM, maybe 2MB). Doom on that ran super slow, though not totally unplayable. I had to make the drawable screen size as small as possible in order to maximize the frame rate. Later, after I started running a
BBS, I would sometimes play Doom over the modem with one of my BBS
users, which was fun. That was in 1995 - and I think by then I had been given a hand-me-down 386DX-40 (on a new motherboard, which I had help installing in my PC at the time). Doom ran a bit better on that, but I think still a bit too slowly.

And if you want to really annoy your parents, play "I Spy" on a long
road trip.
This enough would convince me not to have kids.
Unlikely it had 2M of RAM. Doom required a minimum of 4M to run,
wouldn't run on anything else.
I ran it with 4M of RAM on a 386DX 20, in low detail, and had to shrink the screen size by one step, although when I got an SVGA card, I was
able to run it, slowly, without shrinking the screen.
Haha. There's another game that can be a bit of fun with a few kids on board - "Windmills". Not sure if anyone else knows that one, but the
goal is to try and spot windmills in the landscale. If one is sighted, whoever is first to yell "WINDMILL" gets a point. Bonus double points
if it's running and "SPINNING WINDMILL" is said instead. :)

Do the new windmill generators work? The big metal ones?
The first windmill I have ever seen in aside from these was in Bruges, Belgium :P
