Lode Runner on the Apple II. 150 levels and no save game, it took a serious commitment to get all the way through.

that game is actually NP complete!

Oooh! Look at me! I can throw buzzwords around! ;)

It's a good thing the human mind isn't deterministically algorithmic, or it would take millions of years to play minesweeper. :)


As for my favorite computer games, you can't really compare games of different genres:

RTS: StarCraft (WarCraft III is only good for DotA! That's right, you heard me! :) )
SP FPS: Half-Life (soon to be Half-Life 2, if I'm not mistaken)
MP FPS: Counter-Strike
RPG: Fallout 2

Shoot, I was in my 20's and it scared me! :Q

Loderunner would have to take the crown though. Talk about taking the puny hardware of the day and making an addictive game out of it!

Other good ones: Modem Wars, Battle Chess, Turrican (C= version), Half Life, and Worms!!!
