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.
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. ¤ ¤ credit: michele | 04.19.03 at 11:12 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Crap, thanks for reminding me. I still haven't gotten any ATARI/C64 sims for this new 'puter. ¤ ¤ credit: Mike | 04.19.03 at 11:18 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I think he's hoping there's a quad-damage in one of the mushrooms ;) ¤ ¤ credit: adi | 04.20.03 at 01:37 AM | link--this ¤ ¤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...

FYI -- you can get those a lot cheaper at Amazon and Toys 'R Us than you can at ThinkGeek. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 04.20.03 at 12:57 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Kimmie.
