The one that springs to mind for me is an oldie that I played when I was little.. it was called 'Are we there yet' and was a puzzle game of my old 386. It drove me crazy because I couldn't finish it.

But those first three -- it was so magical when computer games were new and having those sorts of graphics was so amazing. <BR/><BR/>Sadly I find that I can spend way more time than I will ever admit to playing the most silly games on my computer. At least when it is a puzzle solving sort of game -- like Myst and others of that sort -- I feel like I am working my mind. But several hours of Chuzzle.
