OK, I got one for you. ColorIt! It was my first image editing program in color. I was amazed how well a computer could emulate an airbrush. From there I used Photoshop and the rest is history. Today I'm an illustrator doing Medical drawings.

Parrot. Was available for Apple IIe. You could record small snippets of music and play them back. It was amazing - far better than the plain beeps. You couldn't record more than a few seconds, though, because there wasn't much room to store it.

WIZARDRY I and II for Apple //e were an absolute blast. I remember a solid year of my life (83?) spent exploring those dungeons, all the while mapping them out on grid paper and losing any semblance of a normal pre-teen life. The graphics at the time were insane.
LOMILWA !!
...anyone?

Oh, man! In high school, back in the day, we had a game about the olympics. I can't remember what it was called, but the Apple ][ ruled!

Daleks. One of the oldest and most addictive shareware games for the Mac. I remember looking through some old disks a few years ago, and found a copy of the game from around 1986. I started playing it on my old Powerbook and got hooked again. Smashing robots into junk heaps is more fun than it sounds.

First real game I actually sat down and played on a computer for extended periods of time was the original Myst on a Performa 6200. You'd have to turn off almost all the extensions to get the game to play, and even then Myst froze randomly. Any games earlier than that I played now-and-then, but I was mostly into the console games seeing that I didnt have my own computer until 1998......

Uninvited. I spent way too much time in the school computer lab trying to figure out the puzzles...

I used Expresso through OS 8.6 and miss having it around. It was very handy for keeping short daily records and notes.
