I prefer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_(1980_video_game) and
its deriviatives

I remember having Battlezone, Tempest, Asteroids, and Centepede
installed on my Windows 3.1 computer.  I need to see if I can find the
disks they where on (hopefully they are not 5.25 inch, dead 3.5 inch

Actually, what made it better was that the bomb hole was full of water
from the rare monsoon rains that hit the high desert every so often.
No choice but to attempt to jump it. Rear tire didnt make it thereby
kicking me off like a bucking bronco. They woke me up on the other
side saying "that was really radical" =0

1976! Ha, you win! I was still in high school learning to write
programs to punch cards to run through an IBM 029 punch reader. Those
were the days. Thanks for making me feel a bit younger!

Oh, and the cracked helmet?  I was tearing down an overgrown gravel lane at 
the quarry, hit a rock. flew over the handle bars head first into another 
VERY large rock.  Without the helmet.  Well, I'm sure that would 
have been the last of my days. However I never told my mother she was right 
and it saved my butt.  Still hated the helmet after that but the crack made 
it cooler.

Almost always.  The dents all over the top of my gas tank and crack in my

Re: [WISPA] Google Pac Man

2010-05-21 Thread Mike

A "rite of passage" at my house as a lad was to hang from the sill of the
second story window on the side of the garage and drop.  The garage had a
second story floor with a ladder in a closet leading to what we called the
"clubhouse."  

Today, neighbor parents would sue for endangering their kids.

I come from a family of seven kids.  My mother usually drove a station
wagon.  I carry images of unbridled children bouncing around and yelling.
The smallest always stood next to mom with an arm around her shoulders.
Bench seats and NO seat belts graced every family auto.

By today's standards, my mom could be charged with child abuse.

Sorry for the blatant hijack but this thread began on a whimsical note.  The
Google Flag is awesome.  If you do a Google search you'll understand what
prompted this thread.

Friendly Regards,
 
Mike

Go down to the beaches now or the parks or the local swimming pools.  Not
many there.  I've tried to get my brats to do active things.  Right!

One of the boys sprained his shoulder 2 days ago at school.  Gym class, was
throwing footballs.  I honestly think it's the first time he ever strained a
muscle other than his thumbs or mouse clicking index finger.  So he's all
whining about it.  I told him it's about time he got a real injury!

Shesh!  Kids.  At his age, 13, I already had dog bites, one snake bite,
a broken wrist, scars, etc.  

Electronics suck!

Re: [WISPA] Google Pac Man

2010-05-21 Thread Mark Nash - Lists

Yeesh back in '79 the coolest things I had access to were my baseball glove 
and my trombone cuz I was in JUNIOR HIGH!!!

Then there was taking my boogie board to Huntington beach almost every 
single day on the bus in the summer.  Didn't need devices in those days.

Now there are some memories!  We played Star Trek on the University of Iowa
Engineering mainframe back in 1976.  Between sessions, you saved your game
on punch tape and took the loop home with you.

We loaded and ran two games on the system back in 1979, Zork and

Re: [WISPA] Google Pac Man

2010-05-21 Thread Bret Clark

What is funny is that google can run that game in a simple web 
page...back in 1980 I used to think you needed super computers to run 
games like pacman! I don't know what it is about those games, but in 
some ways they seem just more fun to play...maybe because of the 
simplistiy of the games and concepts. I'm not a big gamer now a days, 
but I find the FPS games to get boring after awhile.

a...sigh...now building for retirement & helping kids through college & 
life, have no time or energy for that sort of nonsense.

Hopefully I'll keep the fond memories though for a long, long time...

Especially my friends bachelor party where the 8 of us drank pitchers of 
beer (alphabetical, by name...they had A-Z beer names) and every 5 pitchers 
we would go head-to-head on pole-position hehehe...  Got a little difficult 
after awhile.  I can still taste the morning after...beer & peanuts...uck...

2010-05-21 Thread Mark Nash - Lists

God the first time I saw Robotron I about had a heart attack.  I respected 
anyone who could play that with any success.  Too much stimuli!  Frogger was 
more my speed...

They have a version of the arcade joy stick and button board to plug into
the computer if you are using MAME or other arcade emulators.  I purchased
one for the wife a couple of years back so she could play some god awful
game called Elevator Action on her laptop.  Game sucks but the X-Arcade deal
is pretty sweet.

Someday, after I win the lottery, I'm buying one of these:

t/

(It's basically a pre-built MAME cabinet. Yeah, you could build one
yourself, but I don't think I should be anywhere near power tools.)

I saw Gorf the other day.

And I just purchased ExciteBike for the Wii at home.

3 months ago I purchased the original Donkey Kong for the Wii, and NONE of my 
kids could beat it.  My kids are 24, 21, & 18.

I'd keep saying "That just cost you a quarter...  "That just cost you a 
quarter... That just cost you a quarter..."

Now they have an idea of what every day after school was like for their old 
man... Frogger, DigDug, Centipede, Galaga, and ANY donut shop that had a good 
pinball game kept me for hours sometimes.  I'd always sell my school lunch to 
my friends and go to Sega Center after school for another fix. 
Says alot about me, hehehe...

Had a 7-11 clerk job while waiting for Marine Corps boot camp after high 
school.  They had ExciteBike and I swear I spent all my income on:

1. gas to get to work
2. Big Gulps
3. ExciteBike

Did a stint on Joust & Dragons Lair as well.

I used to spend 12-15 hours a day playing this. I think I wore out several
Atari 2600 joysticks.

I am not a gamer as my fast twitch muscles were not fast enough for games
faster than Pacman. My wife was not aware of this past history and foolishly
challenged me to a Mrs Pacman table-top game at a bar one night. She played
her turn... and then I played mine for ~2.5 hours. I had a crowd around

Her jaw was on the floor, she just muttered what she thinks is an insult: "I

2010-05-21 Thread Robert West

I hate to admit it but I have some hidden in the garage.  You can pick them
up fairly cheap if they aren't restored.  I've gotten most for under 300
bucks.  It's a sad, sad secret that I hide.

The wife, understandably, gives me grief over it.

My son and I ate at a pizza place a few months ago that still had the 
Galaga game from when I was in high school.   He wanted to play, so I 
let him run the shooter while I ran the joystick.   About 45 minutes 
later, we had the high score, and the next day I get a text message from 
one of my high school friends asking if I beat his high score on the 
Galaga machine at Godfather's Pizza, cuz he saw the same initials that I 
used back in the day.

It's a nerd's world, baby!

Re: [WISPA] Google Pac Man

2010-05-21 Thread Matt Larsen - Lists

My son and I ate at a pizza place a few months ago that still had the 
Galaga game from when I was in high school.   He wanted to play, so I 
let him run the shooter while I ran the joystick.   About 45 minutes 
later, we had the high score, and the next day I get a text message from 
one of my high school friends asking if I beat his high score on the 
Galaga machine at Godfather's Pizza, cuz he saw the same initials that I 
used back in the day.

It's a nerd's world, baby!

I have fond memories of my Nintendo and the Dark Side of the Moon 
8-Track that seemed to be on continuous play in my bedroom.   Someone 
put them together and it makes me feel weirdly nostalgic.

Re: [WISPA] Google Pac Man

2010-05-21 Thread D. Ryan Spott

I used to spend 12-15 hours a day playing this. I think I wore out several
Atari 2600 joysticks.

I am not a gamer as my fast twitch muscles were not fast enough for games
faster than Pacman. My wife was not aware of this past history and foolishly
challenged me to a Mrs Pacman table-top game at a bar one night. She played
her turn... and then I played mine for ~2.5 hours. I had a crowd around
me.

Her jaw was on the floor, she just muttered what she thinks is an insult: "I
married such a nerd."
