I fondly remember "Lunar Lander" that ran on GT40s.  You
navigated with a lightpen. If you landed in the right place
on the Moon you could go get a big mac & fries. Though it was
more fun (and easier) to destroy McDonalds! It had 3D
graphics, physics simulation, user interaction, realtime
rendering, suspense and a great finish.  Modern video games
are basically Lunar Lander + lotsa bling :-)
