Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

My favorite was a game called Wasteland. Basically the graphics were as good as they could be at the time, which is to say minimalist. You were given control over a vaguely man-shaped group of pixels, and went exploring through a limited map.

What was fun about them was it wasn't graphical visual clues, but text written out. So, instead of looking at pretty graphics, you had to read. The writing was pretty good, at least in the games I played, the descriptions were epic.

I know that those days are long gone, but I can't help but to feel a little nostalgic about those games.

Sounds absolutely tedious. Glad we have moved on.

RIP Derek Farley

You're old, Charlie. <3

Edit: Now that I think about it, I remember playing one or two a few years ago, but I never got too far in either of them.

I never played any, but I imagine it would've been a decent experience, if, as you say, the writing was good enough.
