When we got new Mac computers in Elementary school, it was like night and day going from just using KidPix in black and white to stuff like Dino Park Tycoon and Yukon Trail!

Good choices. I always liked Wild Kingdom.

Ah tetherball. Some of my best childhood memories are of watching two players go at it in an epic tetherball competition and someone almost always getting smacked in the face. Good times.
But the original game on the Apple IIe was magical. It was the first video game we ever bought. I think it was around $65 or something. It was also the first time I ever felt fear playing a game. The controls were crazy - 8 keys to control movement, and 8 keys to control where you point your gun (my brother and I used play together - one would move, the other would shoot). Oh, and I think you only had 6 bullets since you couldn't carry more bullets than the gun could hold. Every shot had to count.
The worst was fleeing a room that had too many soldiers in it - their footsteps making a loud click click click" sound - and going back to a room where you had previously killed all the soldiers. Their dead bodies still lay in heaps, and the room was eerily silent.
I'd start to enjoy the silence, and as I began to work up the nerve to re-enter the soldier-filled room an SS would enter the room shouting "Halt! SS!" and I'd just about hit the ceiling.
lol, totally agree! Pretty sure the same game had the craziest hand grenades too, you would through it and it would almost launch across your screen like an RPG of sorts and had a high pitched scream as it traveled.
But ya, that "HALT!!" always scared the poop out of me.
