83+/83+SE/84+/84+SE
These games require MirageOS to run. It can be found under "Misc: Shells"
Super Mario
Phoenix/Galaxian
Space Station Pheta (my personal favorite)
Pac-Man 99
Lotus Turbo Challenge
These games can be run directly from the Programs menu. They are written in BASIC and therefor are slower and less graphical. However, they are still fun.
A Dot RPG
Age of Darkness Series
Bob Game
Final Fantasy: TOM and TOM2 (note, will not work at ALL on a regular 83+)
Illusiat series
Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Metroid Pure
Reuben Quest 1 and 2
XXR
89/89T
You will often have to install a kernel to play some of these games, but I do not know what you will need to do for each game. Please read the README file that comes with the file for installation instructions.
Arena3D
BlockMan
BomberMaze68k
ChronoFantasy
Galaxian/Phoenix
Jezzball
Kirby
Tankers
I don't know anything about the BASIC games for the 89, so try them for yourself.

Over my week-long vacation I made a fairly good Space Invaders game. I wouldn't have mentioned it, but every "Space Invaders" I found on ticalc turned out to be a sad little embodiment of patheticness (one-on-one duels and such).
Tell me how my version ranks, I guess. It should be up here in a few days.

Total Posts: 542 | what pisses me off is the fact that mario refuses to show up on mirage. all my other games show up, including mario edit, but not mario. i unarchive the game, unarchive the levels, reinstall mirage, reinstall mario, redownload mario and reinstall.... and i still cant play. buggers.

As for games that I feel should be added to the list.
83+BASIC
Reign of Legends 1, 2, and 3
83+ASM
zDOOM
68k
Arena 3d (and someone should load Oblivion here too)

Total Posts: 542 | contra can be added to the list, but i protest Doom. its hit detection is so bad... i mean come on, the enemy can shoot through the walls. you want a good shooter game? a good one is Wolfenstein. that is one of the best shooter games with so many enimies, light changes (dark rooms and light rooms) and level editor. another good shooter is Gemini. its the best there is, but takes up all your memory. Doom is just wireframe, while wolfenstein and gemini has indepth graphics.

Total Posts: 29 | I would stil put zDOOM on there, simply because while it is wireframe, if you look at the original release date, it is ahead of it's time, muchly.
I also like Gemeni, but is lacks in our archives?
And Oblivion is a Sci-Fi FPS that Malcom Smith made (he made Arena3D too ;)) that I MUCH rather to Arena3D, simply because it had full levels, items, and more than just a rocket launcher!
