Pitfall on the Atari 2600. There was another one on the Commodore 64 but I don't remember the name.

X-Com and Command & Conquer where some of the greats I remember for sure. It's kind of sad, we don't see the type of games we used to, it's all FPS etc... now. Luckily there are still some great RTS games out there, but I doubt anytime soon there will be another game like X-Com that I remember 10 years later.

YEAH!

the best for me was probably BF1942, 1-3 years ago when it was super-popular. online games just can't be beat.

the first game I remember playing, though, is leisure suit larry 1 (1987).. sooo old school, and I was about 8 when i played it on our 286. I didn't know wtf was goin on.
