In 1989, the puzzle game Tetris was very successfully put into the third dimension by the P.Z.K. Development Group. In Blockout, you play with a view of a three-dimensional shaft in which you have to build up your stack. The game's concept is pretty simple and the gameplay relatively easy to learn.
Blades of Steel was the first computerized hockey game I ever played. It was on C64. I have to tell you right away though, that this game was ported for C64 two years after it was released for the PC (that didn’t happen very often that a PC game would be ported to C64, it was usually the other way around).

This game is a blend of side-scroller and strategy, which is not a very frequent mix of genres. Armor Alley was originally released in 1984 under the name Rescue Rangers. It features two bases, one of which is your enemies, and which you need to destroy. There's not much story besides that, but it's more than enough for fun.
If women live longer than men because God returns them the time they spent on parking their vehicles, then I could live at least another 100 years by the same criteria. However, not because of parking, but because of the time I spent on playing this game.
