    I try to introduce some old computer games to my nephew, so he can pick up some computer programming concepts. I only remember some games like Alien invasion, Tetris, Card games...

        pipe mania I had to delete it, not to play it day and night. A simple game, but a kind of a drug for me ;)

          Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Defender, Doom (in order of complexity (and replayability). Introduce him to Doom and the fan produced Hires version - and shut him up until the new year ... :-D
