    Windows 7 RC Tester.  Working on it.  Your monitor says etchasketch on the side!

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

      Does it not say ' old school game' where is the problem  ???  Old school is still in there and I added game so people would know what I was talking about. I could of said 'old school' and had people replying about crowns, victorian buildings, ancient Greece, heiroglyphs and Jesus. But I decided to be more specific.

      hmm, this is a tough one. I like the old PC classics like Doom; but I'm also quite fond of old console games. Like Super Mario World, which I haven't played in a while. For good reason. Might be related to the week I was trying to record a ZSNES movie and went through the entire game every day for a week. I Had the entire thing down to a science...

      And of course the movie desynced about 10 minutes in. (basically leaving 2 and a half hours if mario jumping around and undoubtedly killing himself)

      yup that was it lol. Micro machines was pure unadulterated mindless fun.
      We had three gamers and each one was called 'special' 'officer' 'doofy' . If you don't get the reference we almost died laughing when it came up on the screen.

      Favorite old-school game, any platform: Final Fantasy VI (III US).

      But if I were limited to just selecting PC games... all-time favs would be a tie between the Space Quest series and The Journeyman Project trilogy.

                18 is classed as adult.

                M is the rating for Mature. It applies to movies in Australia and ESRB rated games as far as I know. 18+ stuff.

                -=EDIT=- Correction.

                M is for mature (18+) for ESRB rated games.
                M for films in Australia is basically like 12 or 15 in the UK, or PG13 in the USA.

                      ahh, I see.

                      Under the influence, driving a lawnmower on the wrong side of the road, in his underwear and swinging a bag of ferrets over his head. It is all so clear to me now.

                        I voted "other".
                        My favorite kind is "Adventure", like Mario and the such.

                        I'm still a big DOS game player...
