no school like old school
Growing up in the age of rapidly developing video games, I'm a little suprised that my gaming growth was stunted shortly after the glory days of Super Team Games. This was a classic in the charron home.
Intense competition was born on power pad and the race always seemed to come down to two events. The Crab Walk and the Belly bump. My favorite was the Belly bump. Sprinting in place my man would run into a ball bigger than him and lunge his belly into it with a perfectly arched back. The reward of the good hit was worth the 2.2 calories I burned to move it. Arnold once said, "If it werent not for the belly bump, these abs would be not flat."

Hampsta,
quick question...is that a picture of you or your sister Jen? I always get the two of you confused. But how risque of you to post that picture of one of you topless. My virgin eyes.
When we lived in Poway, I would dream tetris dreams. Did you ever see the simpsons where Homer packs the car and his family are all tetris pieces. It wasn't like that, but I liked that.
man did I miss out. I know nothing of this game. I also had to grow up sans powerpad, which was worse than growing up sans powerglove. I never got the powerglove...
We had this pre-historic version of laser tag, with these monstrous green helmets, black tubes, futuristic laser guns, and this big ephod that you wore around your chest (unless you were short, then you wore it around your waist). It would make the most annoying noises when you'd supposedly been hit, and one of the little lights on the ephod would go out. Three lights and you were dead.
Baj, I totally had that game. Actually my friend Randy had it but we always played it. It was also really sensative. It used to go off sometime when I was shooting my own gun and I'd die by my own hand. It was awesome.
That games nothing compared to connect Four.
Jill, best link within a comment ever!
