[QUOTE="diamud, post: 810824, member: 11215"] Really enjoyed reading this thread, here are a few that I remember fondly that haven't been mentioned yet: Eamon adventures (Apple II) Castle Wolfenstein (Apple IIGS) Beyond Castle Wolfenstein (Apple IIGS) David's Midnight Magic (Apple IIGS) - my favorite pinball ever! Sargon III (Apple IIGS) <--- chess Hammurabi (IBM PC) And I remember Hunt the Wumpus. I remember typing in line after line from the book, BASIC computer games by David Ahl, to play Hunt the Wumpus, Super Star Trek, and many others. How disappointed I would be if a game wouldn't work due to an error in the book, but usually I would just go on to the next one. Anyone remember typing in the games from the now defunct [I]Compute![/I] magazine, and then having to wait for the next month's issue to get the corrections? Or [I]Softtalk[/I] magazine. My first computer game was on my father's AIM 6502 (Advanced Interactive Microcomputer), which was a small "portable" computer that fit inside a suitcase, with a small LED readout, built-in thermal paper strip printer, and a tape recorder input. The first game I played on it was the text version of star trek, with the printer printing the screen for each turn. It was a blast.
