sounds good to me. I'll give that one a go.
Any good Portoguese wines while you were there that you could recommend?If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

I played it on an Acorn Electorn, along with Football Manager (best ever was the sounds it made when a goal was scored), Jet Set Willy, Pacman, and various other games whose names I have forgotten.Comment

You used to be able to play Defender on the Beeb - that was good.
Tempest was another arcade game I liked.
Lunar Landing was cool (the old black and white vector wireframe gfx) with the big thrust burn lever.Last edited by hyperD; 5 October 2006, 16:20.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Blimey...all this talk of "nostalgic gaming sessions"...
Some of us still play you know. Almost every week as well.
Started D&D when I was 14, and still playing weekly 24 years later. With almost the same people, with a few new additions (like the Missus).
In that time, I think I've played and DM'ed most systems. Particular favourites being CoC, Shadowrun, D&D (all versions), WFRP, Judge Dredd, In Nomine.
We're currently campaigning in Shadowrun, and next year we will revert back to D&D D20 Eberron.
But the lure of World of Warcraft is a hard one to resist...so far so good though.
Honestly....lightweights the lot of you !Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
