Missle command, used to clock it, at the local cab [taxi] office. I'm proud I was around when computer gaming was taking off, now people just want great graphics. look at pac man / space invaders / defender for example. those games took skill [there was no home computers to practice on] noway was I going to lose my 10p in 30 seconds..

Old man out
[edit] this game was TOUGH defender

Sorry people just feeling nostalgic, I envy people born today, computer games in the furture will be like the holodeck in star trek.
