First of all, thank you Robj, for keeping the forum alive with fun threads. 
I haven't really ever used a PC until it was possible to use it without Microsoft stuff (that is, until I learned about Linux). So no DOS games for me. However, While some others were playing those (I remember playing Prince of Persia and Commander Keen at a friend's place), I was enjoying myself with my HC (home computer): first the Commodore 64, later the MSX2. On those, there was actually "real" sound (PCs only had buzzers back then) and color screens.
One of the best games ever is Metal Gear (which became a series that was continued on the play station). I also very much enjoyed the Nemesis series. That's all MSX(2).
On the C64 (so earlier, must have been around 1985 or so), I played hunchback, miner 2049er, and of course Boulderdash. At the same time, I played some nice games on the ZX-spectrum at a friend's place, of which I don't remember the name. One was Stop the Express. I know that, because I described it in a diary I recently reread.
And looking at youtube brings back memories: Donkey Kong, Kickstart, Decathlon, Stix. Oh, those were the days.
