*shudders with fear*

Oh man, I was just playing that the other day, and had no clue what the hell I was doing! Just like old times.

Also I was playing that Adventure 2 homebrew earlier, and it rocks so hard. All the Atari easter eggs made me grin.

regarding the two pac hack

you got two pac-mans (pac-men? pac-persons? how does that get pluralized anyway?) on joor screen!

Actually, come to think of it, you may have been glimpsing the future - MMO pac-man sounds like an ingenious idea!

One of them is a Ms. Pac-Man, of course! She has a pink bow! That's how we know video game characters are girls here in the '80's!

I played a lot of Mountain King. I don't remember most atari or even Nintendo games all that well. But I remember Mountain King.

Don't fall onto the bottom level. Shelob will eat you!

It was as though they set out to make the creepiest game ever! You had giant spiders, and creepy music, and a flashlight that didn't do a hell of a lot to help you, and you'd try to grab that one thing but the barrier would push you back...Resident Evil has nothing on Mountain King.

Oh man, you ever have Keystone Kapers?
