I used to play Archon, Pirates, Wastelands, Dungeon Master etc. and I am surprised that no one has mentioned Mars Saga for the C64, Westwood''s first game I think. It''s a very nice RPG set on Mars where you recruit team members and go adventuring in three cities complete with robbers and hitmen (well, the hitmen came if you killed ordinary citizens anyway), hacking into computers to get access to military weapons training facilities and closed mines, pulling on suits and walking outside the cities on the bare surface of the planet etc. Yum.

The Amiga also had a really cool RPG called Dragonflight, from German company Thalion I believe. It had superb music by Jochen Hippel and I also think he was featured as a character in the game, walking around saying "dum de dum". Those were the days...

Man I tell you it''s a shame someone doesn''t come up with a universal emulator and then make these old classics available in retail chains, like 100 on a CD or something. I would buy them!

Anyone remember Autoduel? How about the first Prince of Persia?

Let''s see...

Absolute favorite oldie: Champions Of Krynn. Ffirst game I ever bought. Wish I could go back to the exact second when I found out how to memorize spells... after having played the game for 2 straight days.

Games I liked to play with friends:
SuperC
Jones In The Fast Lane (I''m gonna get me a college degree!)
Prince Of Persia (MOVE! It''s my turn now!)
Kings Of The Beach (simple but fun)
Fire and Forget

Games I spent way too much time on:
Civilization
Stronghold (still play it every now and then)
Any SSI Goldbox title
The Summoning (man, still haven''t ever finished that one)

Paradroid - C64.

best. game. evar.

Anyone remember "The Last Ninja" on C64?

My Apple II favs in no particular order:

Wizardry (the first one on Apple)
* North Atlantic '86
* F-15 Strike Eagle
* Oil Barons (because it was so cheezy!)
* Rescue Raiders
* Repton (like Defender)
* The original Ulitmas from the 80s
*My first copy of Flight Simulator II (God help me! I now am running FS2002 Pro!)
* Some WWII squad based game in a city... can't remember. It was by SSI (good company!)
* The original Wolfenstien with the barely understandable speech synthesis that sent chills through your body when they yelled "SS!"
* Bolo (Great tank in a maze game!)
* Archon (Chess with a twist)
* Roadwar 2000
* Stellar 7
* Summer Games/Winter Games
* Ali Baba (gotta love the world "lambaste" during combat!)
* Elite! This one was a classic that needs to be revisited!
