Speaking of games with tanks, is Stellar 7 a battlezone clone?  It sure does look like it. 

And Random, is that a ColecoVision game?

Never played Battlezone so I cannot really compare, but there are videos of the gameplay on youtube.  If RP's post is Commander Keen I'm going to feel really dumb.

Ok I think I got it Random. Is it Twin Bee (also went under the name Rainbow Bell).

I had to Google Colecovision and bell. Because of that darned bell in the middle of the screen. That led me to a picture with those mountains that are pretty distinctive.

yes. TwinBee on the Famicom. No idea why they never released it for the western markets.

I had a pirate copy on my NES. along with 80 other games (on the same cartridge!).

This one is tricky, but the clues are there.

That is of course Neverwinter Nights, 1991, the first graphical MMO.

I take it a hint might be in order. It's the start of a long and popular series, although it doesn't bear its name. That should make it really easy.
