Top menu bar, select 'Forums' and choose 'Clan' from the drop down menu.
Am I alone in remembering Manic Miner?

Mostly playing The Last Of Us multiplayer later and anxiously awaiting TLOU 2.
I consider TLOU the best game ever made. The character building is godly.

Eugene's Lair was also awesome.

Before every one had home consoles
Asteroids pacman scramble had to queue to get a game
Nick's arcade in perth always busy
Moaning old guy owned it.
Always saying the same thing if you were not playing he would walk about saying " no loitering"

But yeah, TLOU requires attention. Play it slowly, listen to the conversations between the main characters and bash in some zombieheads every now and then.

I find it strange that some old school people think video games are childish.
Point out to them that it has overtaken the motion picture biz and they don't really take it in.
The new campaign on BO 3 has great production. The story is ok. (so far) , and you can play as a female protagonist.
!9 Cod games in the last 10 or so years. Wow!!

I find it interesting how games went from having 3 lives at the start and then you see how far you can go, to just being able to play on indefinately.

If it was the elven king's dungeon, wait until the butler opens the door, then just leave wearing the Ring, and jump onto one of the barrels he keeps throwing through the trap door.
I've never seen Eugene's Lair. Never played MM past the first level, even. Not my thing for some reason.
