Hey there, you young whipper-snappers!!!

Post by Old Time Gamer » Wed Jun 11, 2003 6:39 am

After a long time of reading 'Real Life', I've decided to join your little group here on the forums.

I've been playing games since 'PONG'.....

That's right, since that little black box with the 4 knobs and 2 switches with 'ON/OFF' and 'TWO/FOUR'.....

My real first PC game was the D&D Gold Box set on my Dad's IBM PCjr way back in 1980......

And I must ask...........

Am I the only 'old-timer' here among you young dogs? :D

No you are not, actually you are far from being the only "oldie" arround here.
Don't be too arrogant, it won't do you any good here.

I never said you should go away. The emotional blackmail won't do any good here, either.

Hi Rorschach!!

You can have my walllet, but I'm broke! :P

Also, from what I've read on this board, Mandor is like that to everybody.

I had a Colecovision AND an Atari 2600. Whoop de Doo. Old Time, you'd do better to tell us what Table top RPG's you've played.

Got Chain Maille?

Didn't have Chain Mail, Soth........

But, I did play the 1st Edition D&D, as well as @nd and now 3RD Editions...

I also forgot my old Commodore 64, which I played all the Ultimas, Starfleet, and (space exploration game) on....
