I struggled for many hours with Alpiner as a young kid - then I found the game via emulator in college and knocked it out, first try, about 10 minutes. Similar experience with Oregon trail. I though, shit, maybe I should have spent all that time developing more useful life skills.
When we got an Apple IIgs later I dove head first into all of the Sierra Adventure games, Police Quest, Space Quest, King's Quest.

LOL....I have never heard of/played Alpiner. But the rest of them, I have definitely played. My brother always jokes, to this day, about Hunt the Wumpus because of how many hours I spent on that freaking game.
And there were a slew of games that were on cassette tapes that I used to play too.
But yeah Oregon Trail is likely a game many people played from our generation.
