    I remember locking myself up in the room glued to my Apple II playing games like Beyond Castle Wolfenstein, Ultima 1 thru 6 (the floppies for U7 got warped) and Skyfox just to name a few. Have you any fond gaming memories from way back?

    I located some of my 'first loves' here

    I wasnt born until 1984 so I dont remember the 80's much at all. I dont think I had a computer then. My first games were played on the original Nintendo :D

    I feel old...
    The Nintendos I used to play with were those called "Game and Watch" - circa '82 - 83 before I got my Apple II.

    I was a big fan of the "Star Wars" stand up arcade game... It was one of the first flying type of games in its time, and it had really crappy voice clips too.

    Ultima V was the best game, I think. Eternal Dagger/Wizard's Crown were both good as well. Bard's Tale series were all excellent.
