Ah, those sound like (mostly?) C64 games! We traded out the VIC-20 for a C64 around 1983. Much easier to get software for that. Everyone seemed to have them and a myriad of copy utilities and blank diskettes. I too remember getting a copy of Giana Sisters instead of the alternative for those with the NES. But we had just Mario Bros. where you got to whack turtles coming out of sewer pipes! I wish I had the AD&D games. Would have loved them, I bet. By the time those were released, I was rocking an XT when dad wasn’t using it for work, and using the C64 with a 1200 baud modem in the cartridge slot to play door games on BBSes when he was.
