Pfft.. you only list Zork so you had an excuse to say the word "zork".

oooh and here is one I nearly forgot going way back..... Rogue anyone?

[Silvanathan Shadowbane]

Stonekeep, Anvil of Dawn, Menzoberranzan, Stone Prophet, Strahd''s Possession, Demise, Might and Magic 6&7, and others but I can't think of them right now

[Amerelium]

OH - I forgot one: UFO: Enemy Unknown(Amiga AGA version)...

[Tzael]

The Realm Online and you can still find me there [:)]

(it's only 8 years old, if I were to go back further in time I'd have to say that games like 'Space Quest', 'King's Quest', 'Beneath a Steel Sky' and other point 'n click adventures that came after were more my sort of thing)

[Blue Hasia]

BODY HARVEST
BLAST CORPSfor the n64
Anachronoxfor PC
Breath of fire 3 PS 1

My fav older game, which I played at age 10 - 14, was Dungeon Master.I played this on our Atari ST, which was really the family's first "true" computer LOL. At first I had no clue how to become better at spell casting. I Had no cheats from friends or the Internet at the time so I was on my own....until one day my sister's friend from college came to our home and just started playing the game like she had known all about it (even though she never played it before). She taught me all about the spell casting, and from then on I was hooked...A newer remake of that (possibly online) would be awesome, I think.

I used to love all those modem to modem multiplayer games that first came out such as doom and decent and heretic.

[Sibbe]

sword of aragon! (still play this one sometimes)
and all civilizations

[Susan]

Hmmmm let me think.

Starting with the old Amiga-Times:

* Klax
* Spindizzy
* Lemmings
* Bard's Tale
.....


* M&M Series
* Eye of the Beholder.... OMG those f.....ing spiders at the beginning of the first level... I still hear the sound they made with their legs today [:)]
* UFO
* Daggerfall
* Age of Empires... do you also hear the sound of the priest at night when you try to sleep, trying to convert the enemies? [:|] Ai Ouuuhhhh Ahnananaaaaaa [:#]

Actually, M.U.L.E. was written for the Atari 800, which had four individually addressable joystick ports so four people could play. Written by a chap named Mr. Dan Bunten, who later became Miss Dani Bunten, and who died at a very young age. Strange story there. Some magazines credithis next game, Modem Wars, with being the very first multiplayer online game.

As for me.

Atari 800: Proving Ground of the Mad Overlord (loaded from tape because an 80K disk drive cost $599 in those days, and took me and my son freaking forever to solve. You had to get drunk), Ultima III: Exodus, Shamus and Bard's Tale I.

Atari ST and the Amiga (yeah, I had both): Empire, Civilization I, the Gold Box games from SSI and Dungeon Master.

PC: Civilization II and Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire (I still play it), and my all-time favorite: Baldur's Gate II, which I probably replayed with different character classes about 10 times.

And many of those you guys and gals have already listed.

I loved riding the horsey up and over buildings in Daggerfall. Another was in Dungeon Master where you could run through a gate, hit the lever and the door would beat the creature to death. Then it had that little guy that would run up behind you, steal something out of your backpack and take off.

I had a 128K Mac.. the first macintosh. No hard drive.. 128k of memory.. a 68000 motorola processor, and a 400kB single sided floppy drive. I so loved that computer

Some of my most favorite games were on the mac.

Wizardry ((All time favorite ))
Gato (a WWII submarine simulator)
Lode Runner
Alice (also called "Through the looking glass")
Zork
Beyond Zork
Sargon 3 ((Chess game))
PT109


And the Most flustrating, although very funny, game that I played is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".. a text based game like Zork.. It has the humor of the books.. only would Adams write something like: "it dispenses something that tastes almost, but not quite, exactly unlike tea"

An online version can be played Here!



Later (color) Mac games that I liked were:

Hellcats
Hellcats over Leyte Gulf
A-Train
Railroad Tycoon (Had that one for the Mac SE)
The Incredible Machine (and it's sequels)
F/A-18 Hornet
Alone in the Dark
Sim City 2000
Red Baron
Prince of Persia

And on the PC side, I also enjoyed "The Bard's Tale". I still have that and only just for fun dug it out and installed it (( and got it working under Win2K )).

One of my all time favorite old games that I didn't see mentioned so farwasDungeons of Daggorath. I actually traded a friend my old Atari 400 (after I got my Atari 800xl) for the RadioShack Color Computer II just so that I could play it. I downloaded an emulator a couple years ago and still got a kick out of playing it. Guess it was not completely forgotten:

I also played Ultima III and VIa lot back in the day.

X/[X2].
Severance.
Populous 2.
Curse of Monkey Island.
Cannon Fodder.

[Bori Grimbattle]

I played the Wizardry series, the Gold Box series, Might & Magic series and the Ultima series as well as many,many more. There are so many almost favorites that I will not bother to list them.

My favorite(s)? Thief 1 and Thief 2. The games gripped me all the way through listening for footsteps,watching for the guards, conserving that last fire arrow as long as you could,finding a way to recover that rope arrow stuck in the ceiling, timing the Guards patrol and cursing as you used up your last water arrow foolishly.

Sadly that same ambience is not evident in Thief 3 due to the fact that the Thieves Highway is no more. No longer can you take to the rooftops and laugh at the Guards below.

Those 2 games were a blast! [:D]
