Oh, My, God.
do you remember...?
You see, I must have played it for the first time when it came out, in 1982, so that means I was 7 (yes, I’m that old!). It’s a game that I had managed to delete from my memory (unlike Pac-Man or Q-Bert), and seeing it again was like eating a proustian biscuit. It made me realize, in a flash, why I am the person who I am now…
So I had to come home and find this. (Beware, it’s highly addictive).
Who will bring me back to the present now?
Ah, the computer, that time machine…

So you were 7 in 1982 … damn … you must remember Cortez’s arrival … what a geezer … do you walk with a cane or anything?

Actually I should!

I daren’t open that link because I feel like it just might be a whole website full of PhD-ruining arcade fun. Can you confirm or deny my suspicions?

Affirmative. Be afraid, very afraid…

I’d best not go there, then…
Does it have Afterburner?

After burner! That’s ca. 1988, I guess. It is listed but the game itself does not load… (lucky you).

I was born in 1981, so I missed out on a lot of the exciting early ones. Afterburner was the most exciting one at the time I first took an interest. My parents used to play Space Invaders in the pub when they went on dates, though…

LOL. That explains everything, Joe… ;)
