A mobility scooter endurance race! Rules: 1. Short laps around a hospital/public park/shopping mall. 2. Mobility scooters aren't allowed on the road, only on sidewalks. 3. Every time you hit a pedestrian you're allowed to follow up with the baseball bat (I don't think there's a walking stick in GTA) and verbal abuse. 4. If you have to cross a road you don't have to wait for the lights. Just go. 5. Obligatory 15 second pitstop/comfort break every lap.

I don't think 15 seconds is long enough for a comfort break tho. Will take longer than that to get off the scooter and get things ready to go. LOL

Repping 1982 here, so for me the 90's where when it was happening mostly XD In all honesty I must admit I've only played Monkey Island somewhere in the 00's on an emulator. First PC games I remember playing are Prince of Persia, King's quest, Outrun, and some F1 game that for a weird reason wouldnvt run on VGA/SVGA, so had to run it on EGA/CGA which gave me only blue and pink colors, lol. First console games I remember playing to death where SMB1, Tetris, Paperboy and Snake Rattle 'n Roll on the NES. Did anybody play Geoff Crammonds Microprose F1 on the Amiga? 100% race distance, every practice and qualy session? And the multiplayer option where you had to take turns? Watching the AI crash your car as soon as it took over! IBM PC Compatible, but yes. The podiums were hilarious.

Damn when you think about it, it doesn't seem that long ago that TV sets were wooden. I remember going to the store when we got our first vcr, remote controlled, wired hahah. Saying that play time as a kid has changed. Kids these days are running around with pokeman shat apps. When I was a kid I was running around with a dustbin lids and sticks hitting each other. The 80's were so awesome

Damn when you think about it, it doesn't seem that long ago that TV sets were wooden and 500 pounds. I remember going to the store when we got our first vcr, remote controlled, wired hahah. Saying that play time as a kid has changed. Kids these days are running around with pokeman shat apps. When I was a kid I was running around with a dustbin lids and sticks hitting each other. The 80's were so awesome In the 80s it took 2 people to lift a 26" TV(which only the rich families had everyone else had 12-19") and had 4 screws as inputs -2 for UHF & 2 for VHF antenna inputs. I can now carry my 40" TV with one hand and it has 8 inputs none of which are screws. I remember when we got our 1st cable box that allowed you to change channels from your seat. You know that 5 pound brown / beige box on the coffee table with 50 buttons on it connected by a wire to the 10 pound box behind the TV. Connected to the TV with an adapter screwed to the antenna input screws because TVs then did not have cable connectors on them. LOL WOW what a change from the rabbit ears we had before. If you need to ask what rabbit ears are you are too young for this thread. LMAO

Growing up I remember we had a TV in the kitchen which was only about 12" - 14" black and white image. To change the channel you had to turn a dial which resembled that on a safe! That too had the "rabbit ear" antenna.

My name is Horace and I'm going skiing. I used to be so good at frostbite How about: Jet set willy Gauntlet (top down game before it was a muscle car) Harrier attack on the amstrad? Preferred because it loaded from cassette in less than two minutes.
