[Coco] Best cartridge game?

My all-time favorite is Dungeons of Daggorath.

Playable from the keyboard.  Very scary and challenging.  Maybe not the best for a party.

One of the ones I want to put out is the CoCo 3. I don’t have a joystick or any game cartridges for it, but I do have a CoCoEPROMpak and a CoCoSDC. While the CoCoSDC is fine for me since I don’t have a problem typing commands, I think at a party it will be too “technical” and require too much instruction for people to use. I was thinking that maybe I could put a single game on the CoCoEPROMpak so that just turning on the computer will bring up a game.
