Yeah was one of our favourite games next to Pole Position and Racing Destruction Kit.
We knew fuck all about how to actually win though.

That was true of a few C64 games for me. Just aimlessly played, trying to figure out wtf is going on.

Having no manual because you got your copy off the schoolyard probably didn't help heh. Ahh the good old days of software piracy.

I put many, many hours into Spyhunter like that. The C64 was when I first got real deep on RPGs though. Bard's Tales, Ultimas, Wizardries, etc. Ultima 5 was 8 floppies. SO HUGE. World changed when I got my 640k RAM Tandy 1000 though!

That was my favorite C64 game hands down.

"Stay a while..... stay... FOREVARRRRR!"

Holy shit the game just talked to me!

Looking back, I had a ton of pirated games for the C-64. This was pre-internet, how did that shit get to my rural town, population 50 not counting pets? Mind blown.

Fuck, I remember making photocopies of manuals that required specific bullshit from the manual. Like Rise of the Robots. (and some other point and click shit from before that)

What was the system that required a floppy before turning it on? Apostolos Apostolos , that looks like the one we used in 2nd or 3rd grade for Oregon Trail...

Did any of you guys ever use the matchmaking software Kali? I used to to play Warcraft 2 online pre battlenet. I think it worked for Duke Nukem and other games as well.

My uncle incorporated Kali into a local dialup BBS. Kali was early internet matchmaking...remember using AOL disk/disc with a cc generator in order to get online for free indefinitely. Just had to use an old enough version of AOL. Shit, thems the days.

When you have a 40 pound cabinet above your toilet come loose and fall to the bathroom floor and it was only a matter of sheer luck (and a slightly unruly dog) that kept it from falling on you as it fell at 10:32 which is when you are normally 2 minutes into your regularly scheduled 10:30 pre-bed deuce drop.

Na Bro... My wife and I have fully embraced that a key to a happy marriage is that we both have our own bathrooms.

You remember when

CNN covered news
MTV showed music videos
ESPN talked about sports
Weather channel covered weather

If you remember that, you're old.
