Desert
1982
It ain't easy being a cameleer: not only do you have to survive a 40-mile trek across the Gobi desert, with only one camel and a quart of water -- you and your trusty humped steed have managed (somehow) to anger a tribe of knocked-kneed pygmies, who are now hot on your heels. All in all, you seem to be in a bit of a pickle. Your canteen is good for six drinks of water, unless you find a way to refill it. On each turn, you choose a course of action: have a drink; forge ahead moderately, or at full speed (which works your camel harder); rest for the night; check your status; or give it up and hope for help. You'll have to watch your water supply, your camel's health, and your distance from the pursuing pygmies. To top it off, the wasteland is full of surprises: some are good (like the occasional oasis), others not so much (sandstorms and roving bands of nomads, who may try to capture you for ransom).Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0

A Knight on the Town
1982
The object of the game is to save the lovely princess, held captive in the castle tower, and become the object of her affections in the least possible time. You accomplish this by maneuvering your knight (who's not in shining armor) to build a bridge across the moat, avoiding the dangers of the beast, a crocodile, and in the more difficult version a flying dragon who drops fireballs.Lady In Wading

Videocart-25: Casino Poker
1981
A simulation of the five-card draw poker variant. There is a computerized dealer and two more players (human or computer-controlled), and each one is dealt five cards. The players then take turns either calling or raising a bet (of up to $25) or, if they don't like their cards, they can fold. Once that round of betting is done, players can then choose to discard up to three of their cards in exchange for new ones, in an attempt to make a better hand. Another round of betting then takes place and, after that, all the players that didn't fold must show their cards. Whoever has the highest hand wins all the money in the pot.MagiCard

Oregon
1980
After MECC began collecting the Apple II versions of its various timeshare programs, including Oregon and many others, they instituted a new method for distributing the Apple II versions of its software to Minnesota schools – by assembling collections of the programs on floppy disks. One of the first releases in 1980 was Elementary Volume 6, containing five social studies simulation games, one of which was OREGON. Elementary Volume 6 soon became MECC’s most popular product for the Apple II. The 1980 version of Oregon was a much simpler game than the 1985 version, lacking many of the features that people now associate with the game. The 1980 version is very similar to the original text-only version that people played on teletype machines in the 1970s. The main feature that distinguishes the 1980 version from its text-only predecessors is that the shooting activities include simple graphics. There is also a crude map available to indicate your progressRed Baron
