I mentioned just graphic adventures - but wasn't Elite perhaps the biggest "hit" of all 8-bit times? Many afternoons (and even nights) spent flying across the universe, accomplishing another mission... And what about "pure text" adventures made by Infocom (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Zork-s and so on)?
And all that arcade games, like Zaxxon, Raid over Moscow (are the Carver brothers still in business?), GI Joe, then tactic & strategy (like those made by SSI)... memories.
And what the modern games offer? Better graphics and sound - but in 8-bit days my own imagination was enough to play text adventure. What next?

Remember Asylum, Gruds in Space, Hobbit, Critical Mass, Masquerade, Borrowed Time, Nine Princes in Amber and so on... (all at least for Commodore 64)?

Yes, those were the days...
