    Amiga was so far ahead of its time. Too bad it never caught on in the States the way it did in Europe. Hell, coders over there still make demos for the damn thing... and mighty impressive ones to boot!

    Origin and great games? Two words buddy: SYSTEM SHOCK! Better than Half-Life? Blasphemy! But it's true (IMNSHO).

    Leolaia, I was in high school when the Blue Blur first made his appearance on the Genesis! Funny, I had you pegged as quite a bit older than me - due to your maturity no doubt :)

    Ah, good old Lode Runner! Back before modders were actually called "modders" :)

    Remember Jumpman? It was a trip on the PCjr. 3 simultaneous waveforms and low-res 16-color graphics when my friends' PCs were stuck in the land of CGA.

    And the funny thing is, when people meet me, they often assume I'm 10 years younger than I really am.

    In that case, you must look a lot younger than I feel right now. :)

    Rewritable media? You young whippersnappers! Why in my day, we kids saved our games on CASSETTES! Tape heads, there's your rewritable media, sonny!
