Deathlord. Ultima-style RPG with a Japanese theme. Apple II/C64 only.
Captain Goodnight... maybe. You either love it or hate it. Apple II only
Randamn, Black Magic, Short Circuit. Apple II only.
Tracer Sanction. Not on the Atari or Amiga.

Thanks for the game recommendations!

After reading your post, I researched the Captain Goodnight title a bit -- it actually looks like a fun game, so I'm going to try to locate it and give it a play on my IIe. 😀

I only had an Apple II in the 80's but after seeing some of the IBM CGA versions later, I realized the Apple II was pretty good.

Wizardry I & II and first few Ultima games come to mind.

digitaldoofus: some people sees the Bards Tale series as absolutely great on the APPLE II , but it must be because they are fans of the series on 8bit computers, cause there are "better" versions on Amiga and so forth. but you can always check out the bards tale brotherhood via google, they are extremely helpful with hints and what not to that particular game.

Sounds cool -- I have never played the Bard's Tale all the way through and maybe now is a good time to brave it through...so since I don't own the Amiga version, maybe the Apple version will be the "first time" for me. 😀
