Childhood Computer Games

Not my childhood, but games that my children played when they were young. Some I remember fondly:

Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise
Putt Putt Goes To The Moon
Pajama Sam No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside
Freddi Fish And The Missing Kelp Seeds (see link for pirate song)

Does anyone have favorite computer or video games from their childhood?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amAL26As5MU

As a child I was obsessed with Yars Revenge for the Atari. I also loved one for NES called Faxanadu(I think thats how it was spelled). I spent a ton of hours playing both of them. Hell, I'd still probably play them if I still had them.

Right now my 10 year old son is really into Dead Rising 2(so am I honestly). It blows my mind how much better than me he is at video games, lol. When I get stuck I can usually turn to him for help.:o

I got an Atari 2600 when I was 13. I used to play Yars Revenge, PacMan, Centipede; that sort of game. Never really got the hang of any video game system since then.:o

Not quite a computer game....but when I was a boy I would make paintings on the cave wall and then my brother UGGH would paint something next to it....soon we would have a completed picture.
