1. Isn't that an old IBM but the game was an apple II game?
I remember playing that one but can't remember the platform.

2. It's a parody of King's Quest, which was an IBM based game
Edited on Sat Sep-03-05 04:03 PM by primate1

http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Peasant%27s_Quest#Real-World_References

Edit: For some reason there's a slash just before the apostrophe in King's, but it's not in the actual link I pasted. So copy the URL and delete the extra slash.

12. Wow, you too?
That's the Infocom text-adventure based on the atomic bomb tests. I remember playing that years and years ago, and I just found a copy of it online. Such an eerie game.

13. Yep.
That would have been '86, I think.

9. Bard's Tale 1 and 2 were my favorites
When you got back to the tavern, you actually 'felt' like you'd made it home.

11. "Aztec" was pretty cool.
I never played it. (Too inept computerwise). But I had fun watching my computer-nerd friends play.
