adam242 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Planetfall and a disk disassembler so I can change the ending so Floyd would not die, desert island, I am sure I'll have time That was my favorite Infocom game, too, and Floyd's death really bummed me out at age 13. I was truly relieved when I finally earned the 'best' ending and he was repaired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm assuming I'm by myself... so a lot of the two player games that are great, are boring to be played alone (MULE, Archon for instance). 1. David's Midnight Magic 2. Alternate Reality: The City (never really played it much, should have some time now!) 3. Lode Runner 4. Boulder Dash 5. Eternal Dagger or Wizard's Crown (I'd like to try these again, but too time consuming for normal life.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Star Raiders, since I would have plenty of time to actually master it. David's Midnight Magic: gotta have a pinball fix. Then probably Donkey Kong, Centipede and Robotron: 2084... but only if I could get a conversion of 5200 Centipede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
