Message-ID: Date: 11 Apr 91 22:49:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 16 I agree ENTIRELY. I used to love old games, from my Atari 2600 to the arcade games like Pac-man, Defender, Targ, etc...Any more, it seems like they are making more and more complicated games...maybe I just don't have the attention span necessary to figure these out, but when a program (F-19, for example) uses almost EVERY key on the keyboard for a different function, I lose interest quick. The old games like Sabotage, Pac-Man, etc... are somewhat analogous to things like Monopoly, Tic-Tac-Toe, and checkers. Basic in concept, but continously fun to play. These days, I walk into an arcade and can't find a single game that interests me except for skee-ball. I used to WORK in an arcade and enjoyed playing the games. I don't think its because I'm getting older (ooo, real old-I turned 21 last week) because I still like to play the OLD games. I just think the new ones lack something...Well, I've rambled long enough about this. Thanks to you and all who have reminded me of what the name of that game was...I'll be around. Count on it.
