Man, I used to LOVE Zork (all of them)...I still have my hand-drawn maps of every single area. Took me months to make them.

I used to play Pirate Adventure all the time when i was like 8 or 9 - that game got me into programming in the first place.

Same here (but with Zork)... Zork lead to Hypercard... Hypercard lead to a career as a programmer. Pretty cool when you think about it.
