Jumpman Junior came on a cartridge that plugged into the back of the C64. I found it to be much harder than the original Jumpman.

A roommate had the C64 - something like 15 minutes to load Apshai from cassette tape.

There was a floppy drive for the C64, but the first Version wore out extremely quickly. We went through several of them in a short period of time.

I started out on an Atari 400 with a tape drive and my first non cartridge game was Eastern Front, WWII with weather effects, fortification and lots of good times. Telengard was also fun and even my non computer friends liked 4 player M.U.L.E. I still regularly play the first Sid Meyer games Civ, Colonization, MOM, etc. Cartridge games I remember are Joust, and Dig Dug.

Has the age profile changed much? I just voted and made the first on in the 55 to 60 age group.

Age and trechery will always overcome youth and enthusiasm

But treachery and spelling nazism will always overcome age and trechery

I just recently turned thirty. My group or four are all roughly in the same bracket.

Oh, and regarding Master of Magic, you are all way wrong. The unit to have is of course hobbit slingers. Adamantium bullets go through knight and horse. Got to love that thwack-thvack-thvack sound.

Those hobbit slingers still warp the way our Warhammer group sees halflings to this day.

Too bad they're no match for the undisputed power of the Klackon Spearmen!

Temple of Apshai on a 5.25" was the very first game I got for my C-64, and I promptly wrecked it by titling my saved games as "level 1", "level 2", etc.

After several restarts, I found the first few levels were entirely empty of monsters and treasure - apparently, the game had titled the original starting levels files "level 1", "level 2", etc, and it had let me save right over them. By the time I figured it out, things were so depopulated on the early levels, I was unable to get enough experience/equipment to survive at all on the later levels. Game over.

Better gaming memories:
- Impossible Mission for C-64: I still remember the bad guy's line: "Ahh, another visitor...Stay a while. Stay forever!"
- M.U.L.E. for C-64: This game cries out for a full-blown remake.
- Conquered Kingdoms for PC: Awesome. My first real turn-based strat game I was heavily into, I remember it very fondly. I really miss developer QQP.

just thought I would remind people that there is an interesting poll at the beginnning of this thread
