Okay, as not one single person has mentioned Secret of Monkey Island, I can safely say without any doubt that you’re all crazy.
Reading this series of posts brings back memories… ELITE for c-64 - truly a great game…to this day I still remember watching the 2001: Space Oddessy-inspired starbase auto-docking station routine.
By “great” I try to think of the games that basically satisfy two criteria in my book. 1) they engrossed me for hours and hours of playtime 2) they were revolutionary, progressively different, or set milestones in their genre…
Good times, my friends…good times…
