Ah, you children make me laugh. Now I remember back to the days of the Commodore 64, playing games like Choplifter. Or playing the original Castle Wolfenstein (2d top-down maze Version) on primitive Apple computers (you remember, the ones with the green screens?) on the sly at the J.H.S. library. Heck, I remember playing Pong on the old Panasonic game console, the one that preceded the Atari 2600.

But the one I miss the most, is the old Star Trek simulator. You know, the one where you traveled from sector to sector blowing up Klingons and the occasional cloaked Romulan? Where the "graphics" were just colored text, if you were lucky?

Oh for the good old days...
Yeah, I remember those good old days! I played the old 2-D Castle Wolfenstein on the Commodore 64. You start out with a gun with 10 bullets in it, in a room in the Castle and your mission is to find the plans for Operation Reinhold (or something) and escape with them. You eventually get stuff like grenades, a German uniform, and a bulletproof vest.

I also played the old Star Trek game on the Commodore 64. That game had a lot of nice features. The ship had long range sensors, phasers, shields, photon torpedos, damage control, self-destruct, etc. When you got hit by Klingons and your shields failed, your systems start to get damaged and won't work until they're fixed. You can dock at starbases to recharge and get repaired. It was a really fun game!

Also on the Commodore 64: Archon, Archon II, Black Hawk, Commando, Temple of Apshai, Mail Order Monsters, G.I. Joe, Impossible Mission, Omega Race, Wizard of War. Ah, the good old days. I remember staying up all night playing these games.
