I'd spend half of Saturday at the local library swapping games with others, then play all week. My favorites were Ultima III, IV, Stellar 7, Lode Runner, Aztec, Karateka and Drol. I briefly got into the Zork series, which was actually pretty cool for a text-only game. Sadly, the //e with the green screen ended up in the trash many years later, along with about 300 disks full of games. Kind of wishing I would have hung onto it.... Thanks for the memories!
