Circus Maximus Magic Realm Alpha Omega Wooden Ships Iron Men And one i always call Orc Frenzy cuz I can never remember the name ;) As you can see, I never really bought any of the regular war games (yep, I'm a scifi/fantasy person all the way!). The only sad thing was, I could never talk anybody into playing against me. *sigh* Nobody wanted to read a manual that was longer than 3 pages. Oh well, I loved shopping for them! We had a store with the whole upper floor dedicated to these games! Must've been thousands (even home-grown ones). Every so often I would come home with one and my spouse would say, what the heck did you buy that for? And I would say, "Itttt was onnnn saaaaaale!!!!" :D (Python is so great...) :muffit: |

|

Many, many years ago, computers had no video screens. We talked to them exclusively by a printer with a keyboard (TTY). We would wait what seemed like eons for the computer to process what we just typed in, then finally ask us a question, which it typed out at a "blistering" 33 chars a minute!!! So slow!!! One day, the mainframe was broken, and printing out all kinds of garbage. Mostly it was right, except a couple chars would be mispelled. The engineers from the mainframe company came in and scratched their heads over it for hours. They finally thought they had it. As we all stood there, a little crowd around the printer, we watched as the guy responded to the boot questions. You know, like "Taape Reedder?" -- YES. "Prinnnter?" -- YES (kinda a stupid question since how else could we see what it was saying). Then it came to the storage media question... "Floppy disk???" Only it didn't say "disk". It replaced the "s' with a "c"!!!! We were already giggling like crazy. Then he had to type the reply: "YES" WE BUSTED UP!!!!! :D :D :D :D :muffit: :D |

As I said, he was creaming me. So I set the stadium board aside, took the deck of cards, looked at the top one without showing it to Ron, and asked him to tell me what it was. He guessed it right. So I chose another card. He guessed it right. I kept on choosing, and he kept on guessing right. I got suspicious and kept the card carefully covered so he couldn't see the back of it. I checked for reflective surfaces that he could be reading. There was no doubt--he was guessing the cards consistently correctly, and there was no reasonable explanation. I wish now that I had followed up on that incident, maybe arranged some carefully controlled tests by impartial adult third parties. Didn't do that, so now all I have is a freaky memory, but I know it happened, and that's what counts. :star: |
tackle!!:rolleyes:
