    For me, it was Electronic Arts Racing Deconstruction set. We use to put it on Moon gravity and create tracks with monster jumps. It was a lot like Mario Cart in that you could attack the other drivers with your spikes or oil slicks. My Cousin and I use to spend hours making and tweaking tracks so we could fly through the air. There have been a lot of similiar games, but nothing sticks with me like the original.

    Honorable mention goes to Larry Byrd vs Dr. J. I lost and won a ton of baseball cards betting against my opponents in this game.

    And who could forget MULE and Seven Cities of Gold. Man, I loved MULE and I remember wasting several saturdays on 7 cities..... Only a few games since then have held that type of enjoyment for me, including Baldur's Gate and the new Witcher game I talked about previously.

    Memories......

    Hmmm. . .All the time I spent with the c64 and Amiga, you'd think I'd have something I spent a lot of time with, but not really. I had a bunch I'd spend a little time with each.

    On the c64, I played some Jumpman, some Pole Position, the Infocom games like the Zork series, Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Bureaucracy, etc. M.U.L.E. was GREAT!

    Impossible Mission

    "Questron" on the c64 remains the only adventure game I ever finished.

    On the Amiga:

    My favorite Infocom game ever, "The Lurking Horror", a Lovecraftian adventure with SOUND!

    An old Cinemaware game, "It Came From The Desert"

    The old games used to have wicked intros, like Shadow of the Beast 2

    And of course, I have to point out the wicked demos/crack screens that were HUGE in the Amiga's heyday.

    You know, my favorite games back then were the text based, probably why I still delve into MU*s every now and again.
    Had a simple one where you could choose to be one of four animals, like mouse or wolf and the like then had to travel through a forest with a different situation in each spot for each animal. Like an owl would kill the mouse but would ignore the wolf.

    That was back in the day a game designer could pack entertainment and pure imagination in a nice 8kb envelope that allowed for any graphics your own mind could dream up with the right words.

    I can never remember the name of that game for the life of me though.
