Apple II Killer App

Ah Swashbuckler was great!  I remember that one well.  But I spent hours and 
hours playing Loadrunner.

It's weird: I am 35, and our school was all-Apple II, but we didn't have that 
game.  Actually we didn't have any games.  We learned AppleWorks, PrintShop, and 
BASIC.  All the game-playing was done at home.  FlightSim, the Epyx olympic 
series, H2G2, games we wrote ourselves in BASIC, Pole Position, etc. ..... 
although I was addicted to a sword-fighting game called Swashbuckler.  Anyone 
remember that?
