is it sad I don't know what you old folks are talking about ?

You're a fan of Quiet Riot and have never played Yie Ar Kung-Fu?

I think I was listening to Quiet Riot while playing Yie Ar Kung-Fu, in the 80s. :wink:

Yeah, but you're old.

Yeah, but you're old.

Yes, I am. And so are you!!

True story, I went to buy a pack of smokes the other day, and the clerk asks "May I see your ID?" Curious, I asked "Do I not look like I'm over the age of 18?" She says, "Sorry, sir, I have to ask anyone who looks like they are under the age of 30." I says "Good enough for me!!" :wink:

Not as old as you. I'm not even 30 yet

At any rate, I spent the morning downloading some more games to try out later. I've got quite a little stash to try out now. Whee!

Old is SO relative! With your penchant for games you will be young for a long long time yet!

I am MUCH older than most of you, and I still feel like a kid most of the time!

Oh my now I do feel old, not only do I remember all of those old games mentioned (loved Imposiible Mission), but Quiet Riot singing Come on feel the noize!! I remember the original from 1973 by Slade (I've still got it in my record collection) !!

Manic Miner was one of my old favourites.

Oh yeah--don't forget IF (aka text adventures)!

I didn't realize the "Come On Feel the Noize" was a cover! And I'm usually pretty good at music trivia.

Slade were a hugely popular band in the UK in the early 70's, if you like Come on feel the noize, then you should listen to some of Slade's other early stuff.
