Yes!

Awesome sidescroller.

Simple, but addictive for a while.  Really cheezy graphics.

Great downscroller.  Nice title screen!

I didn't like this one...

Great!  Another one of the Broderbund classics.

One of the first games I bought.

>forget Castle Wolfenstein

Nope.  Still play it occasionally.

>Robot War

They still haven't equalled this (and yes, I've seen CROBOTS and the new
attempts).

>, Caverns of Freitag

By Dr. Cat, who is still on the net.  I actually beat this one.

>, Conan

And this one - very nice different levels.

>Bruce Lee,

Really cheezy graphics, but actually quite detailed if you could survive.

>Tawala's Last Redoubt, Realms of Darkness, Gemstore Warrior, Earth Orbit 
>Stations, etc.... Does anyone still have a copy of any these games?

etc.  Yeah, I've got 'em.  I was lucky enough to be a software dealer
at this time, which got me tons of demo programs.
