OH SHT! My BIL and I would play this ALL the TIME. (Actually it was TW2000...)

We hit up the local BBS and run through our turns if we were lucky enough to get in on the one phone line the BBS had. We would excitedly upgrade the modem because every upgrade meant more chances at getting all of our turns in.

I met the brother of the SYSOP where I used to work and accused him of cheating because he was always top of the game. He laughed and said he didn't cheat, but I should see the "server" running the system.

It was a motherboard hanging by a nail on the wall of his brother's closet, with the hard drive and PSU sitting on a shelf next to it.

Later I bought the house this guy lived in and evicted him, but he became a very close friend and we still get together and play games and go backpacking etc. His brother, the SYSOP even brews beer once in a while.

Sorry to ramble, I never thought anyone else in the world played that game!

I sucked at it, BTW...

Are you kidding me? I played lord all the time! I was always plowing violet the barmaid. Ha!

Nice! Totally forgot about that one

Whooooah - that moon landing game knocked something loose in the ol' memory banks ...

Did anyone else have the powermites tool sets? Long before lawyers took the fun out of toys, these things were awesome. They could cut balsa wood, thin styrofoam and even skin. Everything really worked.

I had everything, even the Table Saw.

(I think I found my newest obsession, trying to get these pieces again.)

Wow! I forgot about those! Between my brother and I, we had all of em too. Those were awesome. Right up there with the rat pack 50 cal machine gun that fired basically airsoft bullets at airsoft speed.

 

[PistolsAtDawn]

I had something very similar to those too, Revvy. Not as nicely made, but the same pieces.

The router was my favorite. Many I remember all the styrofoam flying everywhere playing with that stuff.

This Was my first home computer.

Had the 2680 with the cartridge deck

Man that thing was a hunk of Junk.
Jr Year of college I had a 486 DX250 with 4 meg Ram, 80Meg HD (Who could ever use that much disk space) and a 2 meg Video Card.

I was the only one in the Computer Science department who could run Doom Full Screen :rockin:

Oh good grief... you just beat me to it! I would stay up all night playing that thing on 386 and 486 machines. I remember attempting to play it on faster machines and it was impossible. The processor speed did something to the game to make it run so fast it was not usable anymore... LOVED S.E.

Man... it would take $12 to fill my commuter car at that price! Instead, I pay about $40!!!!!!!!!!! That is more than $3,000 per year difference!

I know the game graphics have gotten better but scorched earth, descent, the original prince of Persia game, the two monkeys on top of the sky scrapers with atomic bananas. Those where all the games I remembered and had so much fun playing. Those were the days man. Need to invent a homebrew to take me back in time.

I just need a 1.21 gigawatt burner to do the boil.

Thanks to you, I've wasted 4 hours of my life today...First time I've ever seen/played this, and absolutely addicted.

Same here. Insane! Could you imagine paying $12 for a full tank nowadays!

Gasoline was only 33 cents/gal when I started driving, but I was living on $154 a month.

 

[j1laskey]

I was working at a gas station when it went from 99 cents to a dollar....and people weren't happy about it!
