Played alot of console games. I remember I had Intellivision with all sorts of games Pitfall, Burgertime, Bomb Squad, B-17 Bomber, then upgraded to Nintendo. Brewer and I would play these games for hours. Mario Bros, Hockey, Zelda,1943. Dam, those games were fun.

I'm not sure if it was Compute!, but I used to hang out at the magazine shop when the new batch of computer mags were due just to get my hands on those "hello world" mutations. :D
Call me old fashioned but the games of yesteryear were better than the games today because with ****ty graphics and tin can sound they had to put more into making a game interesting and fun, they also had to put more into the story. Now a game is cool just because of the 80/20 cutscene to gameplay ratio :rolleyes:
