Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I’d never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.

Also had Ernie’s magic shapes and colors… which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?

Combat on the Atari 2600. There are games I remember better, but I do know that was my favorite… just no one would play it with me.

I started playing during revised, specifically with the Fallen Empires expansion, and thought that the 4 card limit had always been a part of the game. I looked at my Pocket Players Guide from around that time and could not find that rule. After a little bit of research I ran into this comment on reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/2jxr9z/comment/clh3ip7 which seems to have an answer although their source linked no longer works. In 1996 the mirage rule book has the 4 card limit listed under “house rules” and in 1999 the Sixth Edition Comprehensive Rules Document has the 4 card limit listed as rule 100.2

Again unfortunately the link to that document is broken so we can’t be 100% sure, but it seems the answer is sometime between Mirage in 1996 and Sixth Edition in 1999
