Game On!

Lookie what I found. Heh! Back in my day, this was the flavour of the month. Back then, we didn't have Playstation or XBox. We played all our games in the video arcades at 20sen a pop. Growing up in the 70s, we developed our hand-to-eye coordination on Pacman, Space Invaders, Boot Hill and that old west game with the holographic cowboy.

Sorry, you will need the <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/" target="_blank">Flash Player</a> to play PacMan.


Yup, our games were pretty simple back then. And even so, I sucked at it. Which probably explains why I still don't have a game box at home. But I suppose I'd have to think about getting one soon, seeing as to how Jesse's gonna need a complete... erm... education. *ahem* I'll probably have to get one soon if I'm gonna get a headstart. Kids tend to get very good at gaming and I'm not about to let any kid cream my ass, even if he's my own kid. Heh!

In the meantime, I think I'll practice on good ol' Pacman!

    Jason, in my day we didn't play Mario. Instead we played Loderunner. :)
    :lol: Pickyin, I'm only slightly better. I didn't make it past level 3.
    Back to work or back to your transformer episodes, Sashi? :lol:
    *ahem* Mumsgather... shhh....
    Yes, annu. You take it back. :)
    Eileen, on flights I only watch movies cos I can't play anything but Pacman. Up to level 3, of course!
    Adriene, this one was already taken of the net by it's programmer but I stumbled upon it on someone else's website. Go to http://www.neave.com/games/ - he's got Space Invaders too!
    :) I'm glad someone remembers that holographic cowboy, Ariel! :)
