He plays the role of gaming god oh so well, but after watching me play the one and only game I enjoy -- Centipede, old school Atari style -- with that all-knowing snicker that he could do better, I invited him to put his mouse where his mouth is. I'd like to point that that I own every single high score. Still. He didn't even break the 12K barrier and get a new life. Mmmm...hmmmm. Girl power.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I used to get blisters on my fingers from that game.

The Nathan's by my house still has it. And I still play it. Reflexes ain't what they used to be, though.

Crap, thanks for reminding me. I still haven't gotten any ATARI/C64 sims for this new 'puter.

I think he's hoping there's a quad-damage in one of the mushrooms ;)

CEntipede is cool, but my fave is Tempest, followed by Missile Command. One of these days I really must install my old games on this computer... I have the floppies somewhere...

of course you're better than him at Centipede... it's a girl-y game!

Makes me want to break my old colecovision out of my parents basement and play a good game of burgertime!

I bet you kick his ass in pong too... ;)

I can't remember, but have you seen this? I can't remember if I read a post here about it yet or not.

Yes! I wish they had a trackball version though! FYI -- you can get those a lot cheaper at Amazon and Toys 'R Us than you can at ThinkGeek.

Kimmie. I love you. :) That was one of my favorite games "way back when".

That and "Food Fight".
