CHQ. The first game I ever played online (@ 2400 bps).

Even though it was much bigger in Europe than here, I loved Serf City / Settlers, which I bought in 1993 or 1994. Never heard of it, but was in CompUSA and saw this cute little box, with little serfs on the front. It seems dated today, but I still think it's the best game in the Settlers series. Must have played that a couple of hundred hours.

Way, way, way, way back: Zork 1
Way, way, way back: Space Quest 2 (the best of the Space Quest series, IMO)
Way, way back: Sam and Max hit the Road
Way back: Crusader, No Remorse.

BTW, it's called "Autoduel", made by Origins.

Back in the days of Ultima IV - VI, Origins also made quite a few interesting games. There was another game by Origins that I just can't seem to remember the title. It's a ninja-type game which you're trying to save the people from a tyrant. You have to find elusive animals for spell components, help out peasants, fight guards and evil warlords, liberate shrines by defeating the evil monks. The maps were split into the realms of earth, water, wind, and fire. The game also came with a cheesy Japanese bandana...

Remember 4d Sports Boxing? And that Stunt Car Racer.. or Stunts, or whatever it was called...

in elementary school - where in the world is carmen san diego, oregon trail and some fishing game, lake something...

on my 486 - some game called Fast Lane Eddie ..multiplayer board game like.
Hocus Pocus, Wolf3D, Doom, Warcraft

Are you thinking of Jones in the Fast Lane? By Sierra? If so, that game was a lot of fun. I'd add it to my list above.

My favorite games on the C64 were any of the Zork text adventures, One On One: Larry Bird vs. Dr. J, Lode Runner, Castle Wolfenstein (the original!!) and a baseball game that's name escapes me (Star League Baseball maybe?).

On the PC, my early favorites were any of the Sierra adventure games: Kings Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, etc. and the original Links golf game.
