Bruce Lee- I have it for the C 64. After much practice, I could beat the game. And a great game it is! ---

I loved [“The Neverhood”](https://youtu.be/FYvlcP1OheI) a claymation video game with fun, campy music. It was a remember and solve puzzle game. Like the sequence of colors in the bottles in the window is the answer, except now you’re inside so the colors are reversed. . . that sort of thing. When Celtling was a kid I pulled out my old CDs of it, and she loved it too. ---

Encounter!, Jumbo Jet Pilot, Submarine Commander… My favourite game might have been Uktima IV or Imperium Galactium, which very few people know. I am pleased Archon lives on in some form. The best “construction” type game was the not super well-known Mr. Robot And His Robot Factory, where it was easy to make awesome games. ---

Heh, anyone remember the Odyssey 2? Imagine a competitor to the Atari 2600 that actually had worse graphics. It did have good sounds, for the time, though. I still remember the clack, clack, clack you’d hear when you went through a door in Pickaxe Pete. It was apparently a bit more successful outside of the US. > **[Magnavox Odyssey 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnavox_Odyssey_2)** > > The Magnavox Odyssey 2 (stylized as Magnavox Odyssey²), also known as Philips Odyssey 2, is a second generation home video game console that was released in 1978. It was sold in Europe as the Philips Videopac G7000, in Brazil and Peru as the Philips Odyssey and in Japan as Odyssey2 (オデッセイ2 odessei2). The Odyssey 2 was one of the five major home consoles prior to the 1983 video game market crash, along with Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Intellivision and ColecoVision. > In the early 1970s, Magnavox pio...

> [@DKW](#): > > pseudograph - I played The Ancient Art of War. ([You got anything to add here, be my guest.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ancient-art-of-war-enemy-leaders/952612) 🙂) The “zoom” feature for battles was pretty cool, but overall I thought the game was too limiting and my own forces were often frustratingly weak. I liked it more for setting up goofy campaigns than anything else. Ha! Sorry I missed that thread back then. Nice nostalgia trip. Nothing to add to it though. Your recollection of the game is much better than mine, which is 30+ years old. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/computer-video-games-most-people-dont-remember/998594.md?page=11)
