to be young again

I was talking to Paul today about reading books and computer games and I started thinking about the games we used to play when I was a kid, lemmings, 221b baker street, colonization, where in the world is carmen san diego, jeopardy, and the like.  later on I played myst a bunch, and age of empires and now I play whatever adventure games I can play free and fast from jayisgames, lazylaces, and nordinho, or at least I did when I was working in computer labs and had lots of time to waste.

so guess what?  you can download a bunch of those old school games from this website!   now, if only I had a mouse.

    you are my hero. I was just talking with someone about where in the world is carmen san diego – and they didn’t know a thing about it. I just thought all kids played it growing up.

    I miss the games we played on our first computer, the awesome Commodore 64! I miss the huge floppy disks.

    I’m with AJ on the Commodore 64, if you can find Jumpman, I would probably not leave my apartment for a month.
