    Ah the Leisure Suit Larry Series. The stereotypes in them had me rolling. Like the oil tychoon and his young bride in the Loveboat episode. HAHA.

    Did anyone play the old B17 Flying Fortress game on DOS? I wasted so many hours on that and Red Baron.

    I guess the one upside of all this is that we can relive those good old games through our cell-phones now. (At least I do.) In a way it everything has sort of come full circle. And I (sort-of) disagree with the idea that only multi-million dollar games get recognized and that your average comp whiz or 2 man dev team can't make a great or popular game. You just have to be willing to go to the open-source side of the house and be prepared not to make much money.
