Whooooops! ZORK/Adventure rates up there with my top ones as well. :-)

Oh yeah who can forget Zork I-III. I even like the first non-text based Zork game because your character looked like Rush Limbaugh

The other great games for the early PC's were the King's Quest games and Archon (I'm surprised they never tried to bring this one back).

I have all three Zorks and Archon II with my C-64. I never did aquire a mainframe (LOL) but I was able to download Adventure for my PC. My oldest computer is a Vintage Minivac 6020 from 1962. My second oldest is a vintage PDP-8 with real core memory.

Hehehe! I never saw that one. I did see some of the early ones like "Blade of Blackpool".

I loved the King's Quest/Space Quest/Sierra quest games. Have you seen this parody? It's actually pretty fun, though I admit I got stuck in a few places:

You can download updated versions of King's Quest 1 and 2 here:

Warning! King's Quest I is a pretty straight update--new graphics, mostly--but King's Quest II is a "reimagining." Personally, I found some of the religious stuff to be quite offensive in this version, but maybe I'm overly sensitive. I remember the female vampire being pretty hot, though. :)
