I once had a 5.25" floppy disk with a bunch of old DOS games from the early 80's.
There's probably someone in this forum that has played they original "Colossal Cave Adventure" game, AKA "ADVENT":
Landing
That one's pretty well known. It's the original Text Adventure game. It also contained one of the all time greatest moments in gaming:
It took me literally A YEAR to figure out how to kill the dragon. I never did beat the whole game, though (no way to get hints back then).
However, I'm pretty sure I'm the ONLY one on this forum that has played some of the more obscure BASIC games, like "DESERT" :
lwiest/BASICCompiler
You played this one by hitting number keys to make choices:
"#1 DRINK FROM YOUR CANTEEN"
"#2 AHEAD MODERATE SPEED"
"#3 AHEAD FULL SPEED"
"#4 STOP FOR THE NIGHT"
"#5 STATUS CHECK"
"#6 HOPE FOR HELP"
Winning this one felt like a real accomplishment.
Because it was a BASIC game, it was fun to open the game file and edit the text to say whatever you wanted it to say. Kind of the most primitive form of "hacking".
The disk also had a BASIC text-based version of "Lunar Lander" :
BASIC Computer Games: Page from BASIC Computer Games
Kind of like the old vector graphics lunar lander, except with no graphics. At each prompt, the program told you how high up you were and how fast you were going, and you had to enter a number for how much thrust you wanted to send to your rockets to touch down. If you hit the ground too hard or ran out of gas, you died.

I remember MegaRace. It was one of those crappy games used to show off the first generation 3D accelerator cards.
I think maybe it came bundled with the original 3Dfx cards.
I used to love this game!

Folklore on PS3. Most slept on game last generation. Loved the story in it.

I had the ColecoVision version of "Quest for Tires". Actually, I had a lot of ColecoVision games that I used to buy from bargain bins years after the console was abandoned. I was still buying $5 ColecoVision games after the NES was already released.
I had em all on Commodore 64. I didn’t get an NES until I was an adult

One of the most cerebral isometric action games ever.

That game was definitely a sleeper.
Me and my cousin used to look for co op games all day everyday and these two gems were on point.
