Nighthawk Introduction - Page 10

Yes, but the kid is a minor and if the kid drops dead there, can you imagine the problem this police officer will face? so in my opinion is his responsibility to assist the child or 'suspect' in his eyes even if he thinks its only a prank.

Introduction Nighthawk

Nighthawk, I saw my arcade record missing and when I looked to see who took it over I saw your name and was shocked! How does a man of controversy get so good at these games

Practice, practice, practice.

My roommate in the Air Force, while stationed in England, had an Atari 800 computer. We played many, many hours of all those games (except for Simon, I don't do well with that one). One night, I played a single game of Asteroids for over 3 hours, pausing every now and then for a drink of rum. I went through a 1/2 bottle of rum that night, while playing that one game.

(20 years, 4 1/2 months without a drink, and counting)

BTW, today is my 20th wedding anniversary.

Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary!

Did you do something romantic to celebrate? About the practise... now that is what I call addiction... that means before long you will be the asteroids champ here?

Introduction Nighthawk

No, we didn't really do much. I was out of town, in Indianapolis on business, and got home about 5:00, then had to turn in the company car. Took my wife with me so we could talk while I ran some errands, and we got back a few minutes after the boys left for YM.

As for games, I'll give you a run for your money.

Nighthawk Introduction

*Leans to one end, shoulder on wall, blows fingers as though I were cleaning my nails while watching all the championship titles under my signature*

We'll see. When I blew away your Asteroids title, it was my first game on this board, and was still getting used to the interface. I also haven't played for quite some time.

I'm working on moon lander, and am comfortable that I can easily handle Space Invaders. I spent LOTS of quarters on the original machines for all three games.

Now for something serious.

I apologize for the discussion going on about Iraq. I have written and deleted LOTS of stuff there, without posting, because I am so mad about it all. I realize that there are a lot of people here who aren't US, but even a little bit of reading about what is actually going on in Iraq, in Europe, and elsewhere just shows that the arguments being used in that discussion are bankrupt.

Anyway, just a chance to vent. I'll keep posting there, as there is really a treasure trove of information showing that Mr.B and his rants are on the wrong side - again.

I understand how you feel Nighhawk, but MR. B is just trying to state his opinion just like any of us, really in my humble opinion, there is not a right or wrong position in an issue like war.

Note: Do you like Tetris? I didn't see you playing it.
