I am playing Grand Theft Auto --Vice City, again. I love the 80's ganster scene! Is that old school yet?

Let's all take a moment to remember where the power glove was first seen...THE WIZARD!!! ah what a lovely movie. Do you remember when the kid instinctively knew that if you ducked on top of the white brick in mario III you'd be able to find the hidden warp flute. That was phenomenal. And man...that powerglove...wow was that useless.
Now you're playing with Power. Expensive and Clumsy Power!!!

Halfway down the stairs Is the stair where I sit. There isn't any other stair quite like it. I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top; So this is the stair where I always stop.

I think classic games are 16 bit and under now..although the gba is releasing all those 16 bits, so they don't really count as much anymore.

I didn't know there was an Amber text adventure. That's awesome! Here's a good site for anyone interested in the old interactive fiction stuff:
