Conan: Hall of Volta (SE Software / Datasoft, 1984)
One of the legendary Datasoft movie tie-in games. Playing the C64 version here but I used to play the original (pirated copy) on the Apple II.

A-10 Tank Killer
(Dynamix, 1989)
I got this game bundled with Red Baron (or another Sierra game) on 3.5" floppies back in the day. It was pretty good, much like Dynamix's Red Baron (my fav flight sim) and recall how impressive the graphics (digitized photos) were at the time.
Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? Deluxe
(Broderbund, 1992)
If you thought the last version took a while, this version only took 12 hours to find Carmen Sandiego! :D

Ms. Pac-Man (Midway Games / Atarisoft, 1983)
There are some pretty jank looking early 80's arcade ports for PC / DOS but this a pretty decent arcade-port from Atarisoft from 1983.
Nice to kick back and revisit these arcade games I played as a kid on computer and console.
Kings Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow.
Full playthrough of the CD version released in 1993 by Sierra On-Line.
Peak Kings Quest?
Full playthrough of Sid Meier's Civilization (1991, MicroProse).
The grand daddy of turn-based strategy 4X games.
Dragon's Keep, was one of three games that Al Lowe created with his wife in 1982 for the Apple II which were purchased by Sierra On-Line before Al joined the Sierra On-Line.
Blue Force, designed by Jim Walls (formerly of Sierra On-Line), was the last Police Quest related game for me in that line of adventures games over 30 years ago.
While not quite as good as Sierra's earlier PQ games, it was decent enough to satisfy a craving I got from PQ3.

Continuing the theme of OG arcade ports that I enjoyed back in the day.
Spy Hunter (Bally Midway, 1983) for the Apple II
Number Munchers (MECC, 1986)
Learning was never as fun as when we could play Number Munchers and other MECC game like Oregon Trail and Odell Lake in the Apple II computer labs in elementary school.
Running up 'Multiples' here in Number Munchers:
