Supaplex
DOS version
Man, was it addictive - but I FINALLY completed all levels
The Good
Each level got you thinking, and strategizing. There were enough different "plots" so you never felt like you were doing the same thing over and over... You could sneak ahead (leaving three levels unfinished) so if you felt like you hit a wall, you could at least play the "easier" levels and go back to the unfinished ones later.
Head hunter (I think it was level 70 or 71) was the hardest (in my opinion), so once I passed it (after a good 20 hours of trying!) I really enjoyed the challenge of finishing the whole game!
The Bad
How much I would get shouted at by my mother for spending too much time playing on the computer... (I was a teenager at the time) I wish that they had (would) release a version that operates on a Windows platform.
The Bottom Line
Totally absorbing... I must have spent a good year (maybe even more) working through all the levels and had over 500 hours of playtime!! My fondest memories of early gaming!
