  You may gasp but I never played Wizardy. I think the Ultima games took up that adventure / role playing niche for me, anyhow...!

  karateka was great. the princess would kill you if approached with a fighting stance. you had to run to her.

  Hey sang... I never played Zork or strip poker. somehow I think the graphics on the IIe would leave something to be desired for strip poker :) but with an emulator maybe I should give them a try, today...

  Rescue Raiders over Choplifter any day... but dang is Rescue Raiders hard. Escape from Castle Wolfenstein, F15 Strike Eagle, Silent Service and Stellar 7 were some of my favorites (along with Karateka, one of the few games I actually bought, and Mario Bros.). I was more of a Wizardry player than Ultima, but I loved them both.

  I think with Ultima, there were just so many and they kept getting better and better. I 'll check out Rescue Raiders (emulation!)

  Yknow what would be awesome - if the iPod could be turned into a //e emulator. I'm sure the chip could handle all these old games.

  Do you remember or are you aware of a graphics adventure game that, at one point, consisted of a guy jumping into a bubble to float to a certain rock ledge (or something like that) on the screen. It came out in about 1982 or about the same time as karateka. It was a fantasy themed game and I cant remember the name of it to save my life.

  Was it Conan?

  Here's a screenshot.
  
  Actually, I do remember playing this game. It was called Conan: Hall of Volta .

  I have a feeling revisiting the graphics on a game like that would be really funny - pixelated, green lined poker women.

  The games you listed up there are not Apple IIe games.
  They are all just Apple II games which are not in Double Hi Res Mode.
  I want to see Apple IIe (or //e) games only.

  I played Karateka on Apple IIe, so yes, these are Apple IIe games.
  This is an awesome page! Nice memories. I always played Bloody Murder, Pulsar, Blaster and almost all the time the freakin eagle from karateka kicked my butt.

  Wow, does this bring back memories! I'd spend half of Saturday at the local library swapping games with others, then play all week. My favorites were Ultima III, IV, Stellar 7, Lode Runner, Aztec, Karateka and Drol.
  I briefly got into the Zork series, which was actually pretty cool for a text-only game.
  Sadly, the //e with the green screen ended up in the trash many years later, along with about 300 disks full of games. Kind of wishing I would have hung onto it....
  
  Thanks for the memories!

  Yes. I remember it very well. I started playing it again through an emulator. The graphics look funny now but I remember it being the best looking graphics adventure.

  I have to add some:
  The search for the most important thing in the universe (an awesome game but boy were we unimpressed with the ending!), Gruds in Space, Sherwood Forest Adventure, Chivalry, (the first) Castle Wolfenstein, The Summer Olympic Games, Montezuma's Revenge... Thanks for the memories! Yes I still have my IIe in a box downstairs. I'm trying to figure out how to extract data from the 5" floppy disks!

  I played Lode Runner every day at lunchtime in the school computer room until I could see the little man running around when I closed my eyes! I knew then that I'd over done it! Serpentine was another favourite.

  Oh man thanks for the trip down memory lane!
  Some other goodies: Wizadry, Rescue Raiders, Aztec, Swashbuckler, Bolo, Taipan, Blode (sp? a birds eye view game of two knights fighting, ridiculously hard to control but gory and fun)
  One other memory: All the 'cracked by Mr Hack man' etc. openers on your pirated games.

  Wow the memories.
  I used to be obsessed with some of these, like Karateka, Choplifter, Rescue Raiders, and Loderunner.
  
  I also used to love Hard Hat Mack, Moon Patrol, Spy VS Spy, Spy Hunter, the list goes on.
