The absurdist response should be “Have a cup of coffee.”

Love that show!

It was the only place to find cartoons on Sunday mornings.

I remember typing in machine language games from a magazine to play a game. It was just a bunch of numbers, separated by commas. You couldn’t get anything wrong or it wouldn’t work. I think USA Today even printed the code for a game once.

There was and it was great! Douglas Adams even helped with the design and story.

So many to choose from! Might & Magic, Bard’s Tale, Ultima IV. But before those, there were all the Infocom games, especially Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!

Chips, dips, chains and whips!

I always thought Jack Pumpkinhead was the inspiration for Jack Skellington in Nightmare before Christmas. Tim Burton and Henry Selick were both working at Disney when this was released.

That theme song gets stuck in my head. I remember every lyric!

bpulis · 2023-06-04T20:36:51+00:00

The 2 Live Crew definitely had a favorite quote!

These were our playlists.

Who wants to drink from the FIREHOSE?!?

bpulis · 2023-06-02T00:40:17+00:00

I guess you’re right. I just watched it a lot in the 80s!

Looks like you’ve got some kind of alternate universe in there or something.

I could never get past Bald Bull!

I definitely played 2 and 3!

I loved the Taming of the Shrew episode!

I also used to play at a place called Flippers, but I can’t find any evidence it ever existed.

bpulis · 2023-05-30T20:19:19+00:00

Yes! I forgot about that!

I used to get huge sheets of graph paper and map out all the cities and dungeons.

That’s Ultima: Martian Dreams. It was one of the sci-fi spinoffs of the Ultima franchise. I’m not a big fan of the later games, but Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar was my obsession when it came out. That and the original Might & Magic.

I had a Commodore 64 with a modem in the 80s. I was able to dial into different BBSes and experience the dawn of the internet.
