Happy B-day Dread. I think I was better off forgetting what we played in school. I think I hit all the areas people mentioned.

Still got my second edition GM and Players Handbook.

Gorilla was a blast! Literally. lol Though I am glad to say I never had to worry about typewriters at school. Can't say the same for at home though....

Played this one too. I have a new version called Pocket Tanks thats pretty much the same thing. New weapons and all, but no wind/gravity issues. 8-( Kinda takes the fun out of it. There is also a 3D version of scorched earth out now that is network playable. Can't remember the name now, but I have it on a USB key somewhere. I need to try it.
Now, does anyone remember Logo in school? Ran on Apples, Monochrome screens, drew shapes using X,Y coords? 3D shapes if you thought you were special. lol That was hours worth of fun there. Not really sure why, but it was.
Aren't you glad you missed out on all this Dread? lol
