The Duel: Test Drive II (Distinctive / Accolade, 1989)
I had a lot of fun with friends and family playing Test Drive II (and especially III) on the PC back in the day. These driving games were pretty awesome for their time.
Taipan! is a turn-based strategy game that was ported to the Apple II in 1982.
I played it on our Apple II and it was one of the earliest strategy games I had ever played. I remember really loving the strategic elements of the game.

NHL '94 for PC/DOS - Montreal Canadiens vs Buffalo Sabres
Castle of Dr. Brain is an educational puzzle adventure by Sierra On-Line. Released in 1991, it was the first in a series of four games.
Designed and directed by Corey Cole, known for Quest for Glory games - they make it known with several shameless QFG plugs in the game :D
Jones in the Fast Lane, Sierra Online, 1991-1992
A fun little social sim/board game by Sierra On-Line.
Playing the CD-ROM version here - nice to see Monolith Burger included and especially enjoyed the kick ass composing, audio, and voice-over by Ken Allen.
Castle Wolfenstein / Muse Software / 1981 for #appleii
I still remember my surprise when I first played a pirated copy on our Apple II (years after release date). I was impressed with the action-adventure elements and I couldn't have anticipated the voices of the guards!
I enjoyed playing Transfer Point, a new point-and-click adventure game created with World Builder. It's an authentic classic Macintosh game experience!

The Fates of Twinion is the 1993 sequel to The Shadow of Yserbius, Sierra On-Line's graphical MUD featured on their ImagiNation Network.
Mind blowing at the time to play this type of game online with other players, gamers paid a significant amount per hour.
Offline version longplay:

The Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny (Origin Systems, 1988) upgraded version for DOS includes original music score (Apple II / Commodore 128), intro and finale music, and Amiga music during character creation.
Troll's Tale, published in 1983 by Sierra On-Line, is another one of the original games by Al Lowe.
Super simple adventure game limited to a few selections by keyboard.
Sierra On-Line recommended the game for second and third graders. Quite a contrast to the LSL games 😅
