Anyone else used to play this when they were a kid? It was always my favorite time in computer class when the teacher busted out the floppy discs for everyone to use. laugh.gif

Back in those days I always saw the game but never played it. I don't know why but it just didn't interest me.

I played X-Wing, Legend of Kyrandia, and Scorched Earth at that time. Oh, and a Dungeons and Dragons game too.


Hell, I even bought and played Legend of Kyrandia recently cause I wanted to see it again. Awesome game with stunning graphics! Malcolm the jester. lol

Played it, was great.
In school they always made us play some game where we would get basic math questions on the screen and every time you entered a correct answer your horse (you were the jockey) would run for a few seconds until someone crossed the finish line first. Then the winner got a tootsie roll.
