      In response to a rather blunt rep message I just received, I didn't include Pong because I thought that was a late-70s game.

      A brief internet research sabbatical proves me correct.

      So you can take that hot mess back to summer camp, repper!

                    And if I can get permission to leave the 80's...

                      Wow, I thought I was a true child of the 80s, and all I recognize from your list are Afterburner and Gauntlet!

                      And no, you can never get away from the 80s.

                        I remember loving the original Mortal Kombat, but only if someone was playing who could do the fatalities.

                          One minute the sun is out and it's a gorgeous day.

                          The next minute the clouds come rolling in and it's dark as night.

                          Now we're having a thunderstorm. Great. At least I'm not stuck outside. Freeport must be nice right now...
