Me, of course!!!

You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded
front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

I rest my case.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with goldbug, PACMAN was the best back in the day!

Many a quarters burnt up on that game at the arcade...

I'm diggin Leisure Suit Larry, but Pitfall Harry was his suave counterpart... I'd have to go with suave.

(and psst... Goldbug... 25 is WAY old) 😉

28 and old. yes i know.....

what about the horrible looking brown atari box you used to plug into the teevee to play tennis...... now i feel really old.....

BuzzLY

Duke Nukem. And no, I don't mean the 3D version. I'm talking about the side-scroller!

And who can forget Dirk the Daring and Space Ace?

Black_Hobbit

Yeah, I can see you guys are devout arcade fans.

If you want you could go to www.mikestermedia.com/test2.php and take this same poll (includes pacman though). I'm posting this on all sorts of fourms so you can see who's the %real% all time best.

BuzzLY

Hmm... this wouldn't be a not-so-subtle attempt to advertise your site now, would it? 😉

andymoo

yeah you can't just go around posting links to sites like that, pacman will come and gobble you up and duke nukem will blast you with his rpg!

bad76 what you on about?

i can remember the pacman stickers over here, every kid at school had them, everywhere you went there were these pacman stickers looking back at you, there was no escaping them!

bad76

Hmm... this wouldn't be a not-so-subtle attempt to advertise your site now, would it?

he do another attempt, posting sensless and rating to show the stars in the list...

Even if I like talk about old game (my vote? is for the blonde on "outrun" 's red car...😃 ).

I'm sorry, but today my moon is on the wrong side ... :mad:

Oh my... thats not the original Zork is it? 😃 I never could figure out the Dam.... drowned in its control room... but never could get anything beyond that (w/o drowning that is)

heh would you believe I have that on a TRS-81... its the only disk we have for it :eek:

[edit -- actually I seem to recall Zork having a small house.... maybe Zork III had a big house..... 😕 --]
