For many years, I thought Microsoft released Flight
Simulator as their only

Level 1 BASIC named Microsoft Olympic Decathlon. The game is on tape. The
manual is copyright 1980. It has the old Microsoft logo on it.
This is one of the first games I remember playing on an Apple ][. I
still have this game. It's great but it wreaks havoc on your keyboard
(you have to alternately jam on keys in order to run in the running
events...very tiresome on the fingers).
