Game

Charlie got me a game for Christmas -- technically, many games. One of them was Wild Gun Man, which was made by Nintendo like Hogan's Alley. Why does any of that matter?

First: I thought that it was difficult in the arcade. It was, but not because of the limited time that it gave, but rather in that the cord for the light gun was too short. Even in this game, which is infinately better than the older NES & SNES games, it has problems with angular screens. Flat screens -- most new TVs, should be perfect.

Second: I believe that Back to the Future III made mention of either of these games as to why Marty was so fast on the '80s theme restaraunt arcade game. The kid in the movie was, unimpressed. I can think of few home light gun games now. If you had them they would have to be either, static or track driven -- offering no movement with the loose controller.

[blam] [blam] [blam] ... I'll be shootin' for ya! On Wild Gun Man ... some fall back dead, others down, and a couple lose hats and pants during gun battles.

Rip and Tear!

Charlie loves to sword battle and battle evil robots, sometimes those with cloaking / invisibiity technologies.

In the course of that great battle, my demins suffered a great fatality. They were old and were torn at the groin.

MR sent this to me. He was at the library and found an enticing sign from a clearly reputable and competent person offering services.

"Attornie", that spells, "don't trust this".
