In late 1988, my parents visiting a dad's friend ended with me getting around 20 CPC disks full of 80 games.

Some of these disks contained multiple small, simple, early games like Haunted Hedges or Amsgolf.

Which games of this kind did you have as a kid, which ones did you love and which ones did you hate?

(Please note some games are cleary "small/early/simple", like Space Hawks, others are cleary "big", like Saboteur, but some may be considered as somewhere in the middle due to the high quality, like Oh Mummy!... so let's go ahead and consider all early games that mostly take place in a single screen like Oh Mummy! or even Roland in the Caves as small/early/simple)

-------------------------

In my case I had "Airbus" (Missing in Action, similar to "Sky Reed"), Alien Break-In, Amstrad Jumper, Animal Vegetable Mineral, Amsgolf, Bomber/Bombardero, Bustout/Rebotes, Darts, Electro Freddy, Froggy, Fruit Machine, Grand Prix Driver, Haunted Hedges, Minotaur (Missing in Action, similar to Sultan's Maze but with the colors, enemies and items of the game cover), Maggot Splat, Moon Buggy, Oh Mummy, Roland Ahoy!, Space Hawks, and Spannerman.

I didn't love any of these games, but I remember having fun with Amsgolf, Roland Ahoy! and the missing "Minotaur", where you could generate a random maze choosing the X and Y dimensions.

I hated Amstrad Jumper, Grand Prix Driver, Maggot Splat, Space Hawks and Spannerman, and I remember by the end thinking that Haunted Hedges and Froggy sucked too.
