lynxreign had mentioned old floppy disks in one of his posts this morning, and it got me thinking of the old Apple IIc games I used to play in high school...pretty tame compared to today of course, but at the time (1986-88) they were a lot of fun to play. These were simple games like Lemonade Stand, where you'd decide how many cups of lemonade you wanted to sell and for how much, and depending on the day/weather/chance, you'd see how much money you'd make with each turn. Nice little simple game about making profits and keeping it in the black. And if I remember, each day would start off with a quick MIDI song snippet like "Stormy Weather" or something like that.
The only other game I can think of at the moment was "Jungle Hunt", which was one of my favorites...another simple one, in which the player had to get a little guy to swing on vines, jump over boulders (which looked suspiciously like Cocoa Puffs), and swim with alligators.
So...anyone else have memories of those simple games of yore?
