Nineteen lawyers, 500 witness interviews, 2,800 subpoenas, and 40 FBI agents say otherwise. Ya got something they missed, do ya?

Of course not! You’re always right, the perfect subject matter for Bill Burr.

Oh, dear. Triggered. Those dang misogynists! LOL

Hopefully the Dog Army is led by this happy guy:

that crappy Real Media Player back in the day

This article took me back to this classic commercial from 2001, watch what appears at 00:08!

“I don’t say ‘sabotage.’ EEE-YOO say ‘sabotage.’”

Completely agree about Ultima V, that was the first in the series that I had for the Atari ST...Britannia in 16 colors with a MIDI soundtrack?! Oh yes, haha. Those cloth maps were good quality as well. Do you still have any of the games? I think I do in storage somewhere, it would be fun to frame the maps or something…

Totally agree, that game was a huge leap forward...and the feeling when you lost an eighth of virtue for a bad decision was gut-punching :D It was amazing what Origin was able to accomplish on those 8-bit platforms, wasn’t it?

That actually sounds really good, hadn’t seen that popper before but am going to give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks for this! Ultima III was the first computer game I ever bought with my own money back in 1983 for my Atari 800XL. Took me 8 months to complete it, which was followed by subsequent Ultima games on the Atari ST. Man, those were amazing and first-class games...they came with cloth maps, several printed booklets,…

MIND = BLOWN. I’ve watched that almost every year since 1983 and today I am enlightened to this astute observation. Well done, good sir :D

Textra will also let you schedule texts, been using it for years and the customization options for each contact are terrific.

Ms Pac-Man was definitely miles ahead of Pac-Man! They did a bang-up job on that, minimizing the flicker and multiple levels. 

Well said! I felt the same about the Ultima games, I started with III and they just kept getting better (at least until VIII). Sosaria and Britannia felt like real places, plus the games came with cloth maps and medal medallions and actual, printed manuals. 

Awesome article, thanks Gita! I played the Spacewar and Lunar Lander arcade versions, which were fun. David Crane is a legend, I’m still amazed he was able to craft a space shuttle simulator for the Atari 2600 (!).

EA made Bill Budge a rock star, and rightly so, for his Pinball Construction Set on the Apple ][. Upon seeing and playing that, mind = blown. That and The Bard’s Tale games...good memories.

Entex! Now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time...

I still have a working Microvision and a few cartridges. Pretty amazing at the time, considering you could swap those massive cartridges out to play different games on a 16x16 screen, haha.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw that Mattel Electronics Football game...mind BLOWN. Those were THE toys to pester the parents for back then. I ended up getting the Coleco Football unit, which was pretty awesome because you could pass the ball and Mattel’s didn’t have that :D
