20 GOTO 10
RUN
And the screen would fill with "I LOVE YOU"s
Did you play any video games on it? We played
Avenger (Space Invaders)--my highest score was 6000
Road Race--where you had to accelerate and steer with the keyboard--and your fingers got tired from being so stiff for so long.
Jupiter Lander - my highest score was 50,700.
Radar Rat Race - I forgot this one.
Or the adventure games, where you typed what the character should do. It would always ask "What shall I do now?"
Games included:
Adventure Land
Pirates Cove
Mission Impossible
among others...

OH MY GOSHHHHH!!!!!
You just took me waaaay back!!! I'm sitting here
Yes, now I remember the program and thought it was the greatest thing!!!
I remember playing Pirates Cove and Space Invaders, but I don't recall the other games.
Remember ping pong? The stick and the ball that would go from one side of the screen to the other, then as you got better the ball would move faster making the noise: boop, boop, boop, and you knew you were doing something with that stick.
Wow folks!!! We sure have come a loooooong way since then and that was ONLY 20 plus years ago.....just think of where we are going to be 20 plus years from now....
Remember how we used to talk to people all over in Greekchat.com, now all we have to do is..............
