[quote name="Fussbett"]TUNNELS AND TROLLS -- My first experience with a game pictured on the box that was never released. Being 8, we didn't keep up with industry news, so we'd always look for <a href="http://sf.victoly.com/Coleco/Tunnels_and_Trolls/" target="lies">Tunnels and Trolls</a> in the toy store, and it would NEVER be there. Oh well, maybe next week! I hope you're in Hell now, you lying-to-eight-year-olds Coleco fat cat motherfuckers! SOME FLIGHT SIMULATOR -- My first PC was my dad's XT. As previously mentioned, games were not available in the stores, so what precious few games I did have access to, I played the hell out of. Sometimes you had to add your own fun with these games, as is the case with this dry-as-dirt CGA passenger plane flight sim. Me and a friend would take turns being the pilot. Shortly after take-off, the other guy would bust into the "cabin" and try to take control of the plane. A wrestling match ensued (the only rules: no punching, kicking or hairpulling) and the pilot would try to fend off the attack while keeping the plane in the air. Sometimes the terrorist would just want to crash the plane, and other times he'd have the goal of changing the plane's destination, but often in the cramped "cabin", as a result of that fracas, a key would be misspressed or the keyboard dropped -- and the plane would SPIN OUT OF CONTROL! Which of course was the whole point really. COULD THE PILOT SUBDUE THE TERRORIST AND RIGHT THE PLANE?!?!?! All in all, I remember it being a lot of fun. And gay. GAUNTLET -- My first TK. SUPER MARIO BROS. -- My first dream about a video game. I dreamed that I got the MIND BLOWINGLY AWESOME Super Mario Bros. for my crap ass XT. I was never happier. Upon waking, I went down to the basement, turned on the computer and then realized... I didn't have Super Mario Bros. I may have cried, or peed my pants. It's hard to say.[/quote]
