Hey, I remember Demon Attack! That was a fun game. I loved how the monsters would change from level to level, no matter how high you got.
But my favorite games were of the adventure kind. Do you remember Riddle of the Sphinx? Raiders of the Lost Ark? How about the one that started them all, Adventure? Remember how the dragons looked suspiciously like ducks? And you could get the author's name by finding the microdot in one of the castles?
