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.

I'm another Atari 8-bit fan, for the record. I think some of the games for that platform are still the best of their type that I've seen, though perhaps partly because their type (action over graphics) isn't in vogue and won't sell massive amounts to foolish newbies these days.

Star Raiders
Necromancer
Encounter

Other amazing games for their day, on the Atari (and some others) included:

Omnitrend's Universe
Eastern Front 1941 (Already mentioned)
War In Russia (I think I prefer this original Version to the later PC Versions)
Computer Ambush
The Cosmic Balance
