My 4th system, and perhaps my favorite of the 4 to date. I did a lot of programming on this system, and even completed my high school IT exam on it. A wrote a text adventure game with random combat roles, multiple character types, and objects. It only took 20-30 minutes to complete, but I was very proud of myself and it didn't crash either :)

Favorite Game: (Tie) Renegade and The Bards Tale








Milestone Momement: (2)

Writing my first 15 pages program. Also enjoying buying magazines with code you could type up, and seeing the end results when done. Some mags printed 5 pages of programming, good fun though.

Second milestone moment was playing a game that was just like Dungeons and Dragons role playing game. The Bards Tale cemented my love of RPG's.


Other games I enjoyed.
Get Dexter
Commando
Elite
Guantlet - Deeper Dungeons
Ikari Warriors
Out Run
Rampage
Roland on the ropes
The Bards Tale
Way of the Exploding Fist

My Rating for this system:
Overall: 9/10
