the true tragedy of history is once living in the golden age without knowing you were at the time
@vga256 All of these games are still good today
@rootcompute agreed
@vga256 Gaming peaked with Jezzball! It has all been downhill from there. 
@vga256 And all those games fit on one floppy! The amount of computers I spread that suite onto...
Pipe Dream is one of my all time favourite games.
@Jeneric they did indeed. when i was 14 years old, i snuck into a UofA general services building computer lab. one of the computers had them all installed, and i copied them onto a floppy and took them home 
@vga256 oh my god these games. I loved these, for some reason especially rodents revenge lol.
@gregw haha RR was my favourite as well, even though it was one of the simplest ones
@vga256 idunno about the others, but Chip's Challenge is still going strong today, with a dedicated community creating custom made levels of incredible complexity, imagination, and entertainment to logic one's way through; they just put out their fifth community-made level pack, CCLP5, a couple months ago

@daemonicusprince incredible - i had no idea!
@vga256 I got the itch to revisit it about six years ago and I discovered it then, I had no idea either, but holy crap has that small-but-dedicated community taken that game SO much farther than the original creator ever had any idea was possible ^_^ all the tools were there, just needed an injection of imagination, and they delivered <3 if you're curious, a good starting place is JB Lewis, he's done a ton of delightful playthroughs on youtube of various people's custom sets (as well as many other nostalgic games from the era - Nancy Drew, MYST, etc)
