Impossible Mission - Epyx		Isn't this the game where if you die your character gives out a blood curdling scream? Fun times playing this late at night with the volume up.

Taipan! - Avalanche Productions		A brilliant game that holds up well even today. The randomness was impressive for 1982 and it was easy to get sucked into the wheeling and dealing, and the ship-to-ship combat, while slow, could be tense at times if you lost too many ships. I read somewhere once that James Clavell's novel was a partial inspiration for this as well, though having read the book any connection if it exists would have to be at the most superficial level.

Adventure II - AtariAge		Being Atari this could go either way: is this a sequel to the famous 2600 game, or to the computer game also known as Colossal Cave? It's likely the 2600 but you never know.

Odyssey: The Compleat Apventure - Synergistic Software		Followed by a sequel, Apventure to Atlantis. I played Odyssey for hours when I was a kid - and I still love firing it up when I find it on an emulator. The game expanded on two earlier games, Dungeon Campaign and Wilderness Campaign, both of which predated Atari's "Adventure" by a couple of years. Odyssey was a true pioneering game, predating the likes of Ultima.

Adventure - Atari		I dispute the statement that it was the first graphic adventure game. Perhaps for consoles, but there had been graphic adventures made for home computer systems such as Apple II for several years before Adventure came out. Examples include Akalabeth: World of Doom from 1979. There were also several released in 1980 such as Odyssey the Compleat Apventure and Mystery House but I don't know if they came out before or after Adventure. The guy who did Odyssey also did something called Dungeon Campaign or Dungeon Adventure in 1978 that basically had everything Atari's Adventure did other than monsters.
