Jim Kitchen's games were some of the first ones I played as well, as far as games that are still available now; I tried the gamesforblind.com games many years ago, but now those are nowhere to be found; I briefly tried some demo versions of PCS Games, but as far as playing a game and getting hooked on it, it all started with Jim Kitchen. Championship Baseball was my favorite for a long time, though Awesome Homer, Homer on a Harley, and Spanker were pretty nifty as well. Hangman and Trivia kept me playing, and I hope to write a file for Trivia soon.
