Heh, some consider "old school" to mean the 70's, 80's or early 90s. I guess it's all relative.

I remember when I was a kid, my dad took me into his lab to play "Space Wars" on an oscilloscope that his co-workers jury-rigged to display graphics generated by a computer that loaded the game by using punch-cards. That was the first game I played, in the mid-70's, and it blew me away at the time. Then there were the first hit arcade games, like Pong and Space Invaders, and my favorite arcade game, Omega Race.
Then came the first blockbuster home computer games, like Zork, Lode Runner, M.U.L.E., Wizardry, the Ultima series, Elite, SpaceDog, SpyHunter, and Archon I/II in the early/mid 80's.

My favorite of all time, however, was Master Of Orion. Man, back in the early 90's, almost every Strategy game by Microprose simply kicked ass.
