Did you ever use the 'cheat' technique at the racetrack to gain tons of points and extra paperboys?
The two or three fighting tough-guys wearing wife-beaters always used to get knocked out, along with that break-dancer who hogged up the entire sidewalk.

3. COMMANDO was the 'best game ever', once upon a time. I loved it. |

5. Thanks a lot, I have been playing paperboy ...... |
|
for the last 20 minutes, not too addictive or anything. Is this what smoking crack is like?

17. This may make me a Luddite... |

...but I think computer games were a lot more enjoyable back when the graphics were primitive. You had to get by on originality (remember M.U.L.E.?) and appealing to the player's imagination more than just churning out another first-person shooter.

20. My computer is too fast for this |
|
This games are running about 3x faster than they should be. Oh well. Too bad C64 never had any thinking games.
