My first real* computer game… Since the colors were based on artifacts, one had to reboot the computer until you had the correct scheme.
*that wasn’t typed in out of a magazine

Great game, I remember playing it quite a bit back in the day. I wouldn’t mind a remake or reboot, but considering AAA gaming today, it would be in HD or VR with tons of microtransactions.

AZTEC!!! I played my brains out on that one before I even owned a computer. The Apple IIe that resided on the set of Doc’s Workshop would always be put away on non-shoot days in Stephen Finney’s set decorating office - and that’s where I’d hide out and play (among other things) Aztec! The best!
Brings back memories…played it on my Apple ][+ (which still works btw).
For those interested…I give you the Apple Disk Server:

First PC game at home, played on the Apple ][ I was renting for $5/wk from a friend:
I was already burning time with Ultima III/IV on the school computers by then, though.

Not the most exciting subject for a Let’s Play video, though…
Yes, I also had that game. Simplistic in retrospect, it really kind of was the forerunner of turn-based conquest games like Master of Orion, Civilization, etc.
Reach for the Stars! I remember that game. A bit like
wasn’t it?
A couple of days ago, I was watching LGR and thought–
holy crap, those were the games my dad played on the Apple II!
Maybe it was Omnitrend’s Universe that really stoked the nostalgia.
