I was a IIe junkie in high school as well - Wizardry, Pool of Radiance on a monochrome monitor, Duo floppy drives . . . my wife dragged me kicking and screaming to the Dark Side and, well, it's not so bad. Just don't tell her I said so.

Heh. King's Quest! Police Quest! Infocom Games (Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide, Planetfall, A Mind Forever Voyaging)!

Knights of Legend. The Magic Candle. And the one my brothers and I played the living hell out of, SPACE ROGUE.

If it weren't for early bbs's I never would have achieved squirmy fishy goodness for my ear in Hitchikers.
