>>>>I wasn't very good - compared to others around me - at these games, but I loved to play them. I did well at the Star Wars game - wireframe, but very realistic - though I've never met anyone else who even heard of it.

>>>Me! I've heard of that Star Wars game. There was also a wireframe Star Trek that I liked. Of course there was Space War.

>There was this stupidly addicting game called "Sopwith Camel" I think, that was played on my first Tandy 1000. You flew a plane (wide angle side view only) across the screen and fought another plane. It was very simplistic, but I couldn't stop playing it. Tried to find a pic or link to it, but the ones I found were way more complex. This was like watching a cartoon.

Can't be doing with left-to-right games. Only 1st person POV, like Doom, Quake, Duke Nuke 'em. (Remember Wolfenstein! ?)

Years ago I used to play old Doom with my wee daughter (3/4) on my knee. Once I tried to get her to bed and she screamed the house down with, repeatedly for c. half an hour "I WANT TO PLAY THE KILLING GAME!"
