Pango.
And MI 1.

the first for it's tension and pure fun, and the second for the laughs and exact level of difficulty, not to tough, yet not too easy.
simply perfect.

The best strategy game from 1983 until about 1998: Rescue Raiders
by far the best pasttimes of my early childhood was flying away from enemy missiles with my command, carrier, bomber, fighter and control chopper, while ordering tanks, artilerry and soldiers to finish the fucking jerk off later.
By far. I'm afraid that by the age of 5 I introduced daily variations of some 1.5kg to my weigh due to my superior will to finish the game before taking the morning shit or eating anything. Those were the days... now I'm stuck with the habits and the game is lost with the Apple2 joystick. And that was one hell of a joy stick indeed, in fact it broke down after years of hitting the floor me rushing to the toilettes, so by the age of 10 I was already capable of operating the very same chopper by manouvering the vertical and horizontal plastic bars into which the stick was ordinarily supposed to be plugged in. Just imagine the mental creativity required in order to move two bars with two fingers to the top-right corner in order to drop the chopper way bottom-left while 5-6 guided antiair missiles pass above you and fail to use their brakes. It was amazing, nothing else matched and there's certainly nothing else that can mount 4 kilobytes of ROM and leave enough room for the others too. I don't think there's any matching strategy game that uses less than 4, and perhaps even 40 megabytes of ROM

If I could play with 10 such choppers in parallel against 10 different opponents, with a save option allowing me to run 10 times as much to the toilettes, that would certainly qualify the 4MB ROM version to be superior to any existent stratefy game, except perhaps GTA4.

You can download the game from my technionic site, on the bottom of the bookmarks section
