@gildedgirth:
k: That was one hell of a post!

Not much to add to that one, except maybe two more games:
Maniac Mansion - which was the first LucasFilmGames game that used scumm system (point and click).
Dechatlon (for the old C64 and I guess it was on some other systems too). It really set a standard for the sporting games (movin left-right as fast as possible to run faster...).
Oh, and maybe Carmen Sandiego series (they are great educational games).
