How about Lode Runner on the Apple IIe.
I spent lots of hours getting through all the levels.
Years before my first PC

I've multi-tasked ala something else and Solitaire since I discovered I could short cut the game to my task bar and pull it up / disappear it at will .....

I have it up right now and will hit a bit of it right after I hit "post"

Handy when multitasking, or for when The Boss comes by.

Hopefully not the latter at 3 in the morning... :-)

I'm retired ... 3 AM ... 3 PM ... I don't care anymore.

Only two days in my week .... Saturday and Sunday

One Sunday, six Saturdays.

Yes, the very first computer game I played. It got more interesting the more beer I drank.

I worked a Mr.Gatti's Pizza and Sandwich restaurant back in 1983 where they had a Phoenix 2-Player flat table game. The manager would keep a fresh pitcher on the edge while we battled for hours. Loser had to open in the morning. Great times.
