DINO WARS!!!!

But seriously...

DoD had me addicted for quite some time (I have won it twice only, first
time taking days and the second time taking hours) but I can also say that
the Sierra games (King's Quest and Leisure Suit Larry) are excellent (when
fixed to work on a hard drive or fewer disks).  AND, Rad Warrior was one
great game, though I still have not won it.  RoboCop & MindRoll are two
games that had me addicted when I worked for Radio Shack.  Pac-Dude 3D
(distributed by Eversoft) is one of the most visually impressive screen
scrolling games ever) and I think that Steve Bjork's original Zaxxon was a
classic, as was Donkey King from Tom Mix Software.

Man, this is a tough call.  We used to gripe about not having the big name
game companies, but we had some excellent products.

I used to play Sea Dragon endlessly (won it finally, too, but could never
get used to playing it on a CoCo 3 keyboard).

Sigh.  Let me see if I can come up with "one" favorite game...I'll get back
to you!

Oh yeah, the Pitfall 2 on disk was massive!  And it used Speech/Sound Pak.
