    I like the music of Welle Erdball. They call the C64 a band member and have an own sound and  aesthetic appeal. Here are some songs and appearences:

    That is the "ANYTHING GOES" of Atari!
     
    It was the promise of a better future. There was a glimpse of a better future, an utopic version of all that could be.
     
    Call me crazy, but that was my Atari. I grew up with Captain Future and the possibility to explore the universe and an utopic perspective. This may be childish, but i remember this from time to time and i feel good.

    Hello!
    I recommend D2K from Electronite. Ok, it is a homebrew and it could be difficult to get a copy, but it is worth the try.
    Beauty and the Beast is also a funny platformer
     
    Nightstalker is a brilliant shooter. Demon Attack is a worthy challenger to Atari's Phoenix.
     
    Q*Bert is also a nice game on the Intellivision.
     
    Take a look at the AD&D Games. They are impressive for the time they were produced.

    Loved your review and truly agree with your rating, NSG.
    This one meant a lot to me back in my whippersnapper-cube days and as a grown square today.
     
    Yeah, played it daily, along with some of my top ten for quick star-mastery starship captain action and bird-plane-man-hero picking up bridge pieces (coincidence? I think not).
    Adventure has always been the most satisfying, in random mode.
     
    Just like life, you never know where the things you need are, or if they are out of your reach for good.
    You get a hold of that special thing which will bring you closer to your goals, only to have unstoppable forces bear down on you and either stop you cold, or rob you blind (or both).
     
    But once you get ahead and can open the right doors, even lock up your feared flying klepto away for good, stop feeding the ducks with a healthy dose of swordplay, and then find that shiny cup of life - its very magical essence flashing unlike anything else around you - well then, you are just a step away from your reward as the game offers a pleasant techno-rave and ends the struggle with the promise of a happy ending, the moment the Magic Chalice is brought through the Golden gates.
     
    Yes, this tiny but epic victory will always be worth the journey of switching on and resetting yourself back into the ride.
    It's a perfect simulacrum for existence itself, therefore I will always be an Adventure Square, whether I'm typing on a keyboard, riding the subway, or gazing at the stars.
     
    I'm sure there are many Pitfall Harrys out there. I've met some and they are fantastically cool.
    But they are (and have to be) always on the move. And they know where they are going, where things are.
    I have been known to just sit there and sigh as one of the dragons (usually Rhindle, who does lots of cardio) gulps me up and also sits there, slowly digesting me, or simply relaxing on a full stomach after a hard day's chase.
     
    Sure, we got the magic to reset the entire kingdom back to life.
    But sometimes a good sit is worth a thousand snores.
     
    ehh...what was I talking about?
    Oh yeah, thanks for spreading the word, NSG.
     
    Also makes sense to observe that Zelda took the mantle for the next gamer set who liked their adventurin' a bit more spritey.
    I was mesmerized by its ride, when I got the chance to travel this other kingdom.
    And its success as a franchise brings me such joy (even though I haven't caught up with the many releases) because it means we are not alone in adopting a view of life as an adventure to conquer.
    And as such, it makes this big old randomized world a bit cozier, in shared like-mindedness.
     
    Everybody play a Game 3 today, and find your Chalice.
