...Cracks me up.  If you want to know something funny, just wait until my review for "House 2" is posted in about a week.  I wrote that a bit ago and it contains a reference to "The Oregon Trail."

Hehe, Thanks! I didn't know if anyone else would catch that refrence as it seems that I am the only person I know that played Oregon Trail. I have a t-shirt with that same logo on it that I made, and everyone is allways WTF? To witch I usally reply with "oh, you must have drowned then" and walking away. Great fun!

I knew it for Oregon Trail.  I played that in the 5th grade.

We used to have a day set aside in elementary school where we could play about an hour of Oregon Trail.  I usually drowned or died of dysentery.  Now that I think back on it, wasn't the game a bit morbid for us kids?

You know how it is, in those days we were more resilient than those namby pamby kids of today....Helmets and elbow pads for skating?  We didn't even wear those to jump off the roof!  Just Dad's old construction hardhat.  Blah blah blah pass the geritol.  ZZZZzzzzz

But I digress.  I don't rememer how I died, I only remember shooting a shotgun at a deer on occaision.  I don't rememer playing the actual game much.

Lagomorphs: menace or underutilized resource?

I remember the game, but it was never one of my favorites. I think I just died too often. I was always more of a Lode Runner man--I could play that for hours and hours on end (and did, quite often). I also killed a lot of brain cells with Karateka and a few other games whose names escape me at the moment (because I'm old, goshdarnit, now get me my prune juice!) on my old Apple ][e. Side note: I played Lode Runner on an amber screen (as opposed to the more common green screens), so the bad guys looked like shirtless, well-tanned guys in white pants. Since the main guy was all white, and since this was before the time when any reference to another's ethnicity was considered bigoted (particularly from a white person), I used to tell people I was playing Galactic Border Patrol, and that I was the BP agent, confiscating the illegals' bales of marijuana. Good times, good times...zzzzzzz.

Lode runner was the other 8 bit fav of mine too Derf! Love the link Susan, reminded me about all the other amusing aspects of that game. Like the amusing headstones you could put up for your family that died of cholera, dysentery, drowning or during a food raid. Yay! I think I'm going to have to try playing again and see if I still suck. Cheers

Thanks, Susan! I downloaded the emulator and a few of the games and had a great afternoon reliving some memories. I can't believe how some of those 8-bit images brought out the warm fuzzies. Karma for you!

I remember that game. Hell The only reason I even remember it is because my fifth grade teacher let us play his old Mac. I never really got that far, didn't stop me from playing though  Smile

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
