    1. Montizuma's revenge
    2. Prince of Persia 1
    3. Monkey island as well
    4. Accolade's Grand Prix
    5. California Games
    6. Nibbles/Gorilla on Qbasic
    7. Black Couldron
    8. Police/Space/King's quest
    9. Airborne Ranger
    10. LHX

    These obviously refer only to PC games. Games like Countdown, ROTT (not dott, but Rise of the triad), wolfenstein, syndicate, bio menace, monster bash and duke nukem1/2 only came out at a much later stage when pc's had colour screens and hercules adaptors

    Yeah, that's around the same time that I started with games, too.

    And I remember how much of an issue it was to play games because we only had a 360kb floppy drive and my dad refused to let us load games on the harddrive.

    And I remember having to use a colour emulator so that I could play CGA games on the old hercules graphics adaptor we had. Maaaan that takes me back.

    These are all Nintendo games that I remember well.

    My 1st game I owned was Double Dragon, followed by a 24-in-1. With battle City, Track & Field, Zippy Race, mappy, Karateka, contra, lode runner, frontline, Bwings, ice climber, adventure islander and Spartan on it. Man i loved spartan.
