I played the PC CGA version... boy, do I hate that cyan/magenta/white combination. My version was not able to save the state... I started one early afternoon from level 1, I was defeated at level... 139 I think, at late night after possibly 9 hours of playing. Levels were quite well designed, and we are talking about 150 of them here: the designers (there is some story on the internet about them) squeezed the game mechanics and also the bugs of the AI to make the levels interesting.
Those games also need your vote!

Looney Tunes Collector: Alert!
Looney Tunes Collector: Alert!Marvin the Martian's faithful companion K-9 cleaned out the flying saucer. In doing so, K-9 accidentally threw out 10 pieces of the teleporter that are required to execute Marvin's plan to destroy the Earth. Bugs Bunny happens to overhear the Martian's plan, and now he must travel throughout the world and collect the other Looney Tunes characters 47 in all. While Bugs can perform basic tasks, solving all of the game's puzzles and collecting all 10 teleporter pieces requires the special skills and talents of each character. For example, Elmer Fudd can blast obstacles with his gun, while Daffy Duck can swim and dive into deep water. Learning how and when to use each character is the key to success in LOONEY TUNES COLLECTOR: Alert!

Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros - Visions of Power
Wizards & Warriors III: Kuros - Visions of PowerWhen Kuros last did battle with the Evil Wizard Malkil atop Icefire Mountain, he raised his Ironsword in triumph and glory... or so he thought. Suddenly, a powerful bolt of magic has robbed Kuros of his armor, memory, and honor. But the distant presence of evil stirs in his mind, leading him to the once fair city of Piedup, the very same place where the villainous soul of Malkil survives. Without his armor, Kuros will need crafty disguises to travel undetected, ready to do battle as a wizard, nobleman or thief. His quest will take him from the depths of the dungeon to the palace containing riches beyond belief - building strength, perfecting fighting skills and acquiring rare knowledge of magic along the way. The time has come for Kuros to turn his visions of power... into reality!
