Anyone remember "Leisure Suite Larry"?


That made me spit out my coffee! LSL is a CLASSIC! I still have
the original on disk!

Damn you. Now I have to go break it out and play it again.

Do you have a 5 1/4" drive to put it in?

Can your screen run in CGA mode?

IBM 486SX/20. Windows 3.1, 4MB RAM, 1 3 1/2" floppy, and one
5 1/4" floppy. 129MB HD. All still works, and can get it in VGA mode.

I'm golden.

Oh, Mr. Fancypants IBM. _Some_ of us made do with a Cyrix 486DX2 and a
Cirrus Tech video adapter.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think another round of Epic Pinball is in order.

At least you had a Timex/Sinclair ZX81, why when I was a kid I had an

I had to take off my shoes when I counted past eleven g

That would only take me to eighteen, due to the frostbite from walking to
and from school in the snow, uphill both ways, barefoot.

Next?
