I remember that my best friend and I thought that it was so cool to use telnet over the phone modem to talk to each other. We pretended that we were spies sending secret conversations to each other.
Zork to Final Fantasy to Skyrim...the landscape of video games has progressed so much it blows my mind.
Mine was actually almost twice as old as I am today!
I remember playing with this all the time, it was one of the most annoying games ever made because the "ball" dot blipped, so when it got to home it was gone but you still had to swing.
I went from this to a Super Nintendo, even though we had Coleco Vision and an Atari in the storage.
