I haven't got enough room in the form to reply properly, and it looks like it didn't save my submission anyway, so here's my answers:
* I can't remember any specifically, apart from L (see below), although I've half-written a few in the past :)
* L - A Mathemagical Adventure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_-_A_Mathemagical_Adventure) - I first played this at school in Year 6 on the classroom's BBC Micro with classmates, and that inspired me to learn my first programming language the next year (BASIC). Unfortunately I only ever knew the game as simply 'L' until recently, when I grabbed a copy of it and a BBC Micro emulator and played it all the way through. They've re-released it as a Windows application now, still text based I believe, for this generation of schoolchildren. :)
