... must... play... one... more... game... for... high... high... high... score!!!

Seriously, though, I think I'll take a break from these Arcade games and go back to some of my other brain-tickling games, like on RealArcade.

Maybe I'll install Life Buoy on my own web site :)

I think the reason why I like the classic games so much is I used to program them from 82 onward. Back then, I had a Commodore Vic-20 and I wrote a version of Pengo for it back in 85 that was published in a globally distributed mag that sold over 8 million copies.

In college, the admins of an IBM 3090 mainframe told me it wasn't possible to write "robots" (or "daleks") or something like Battlezone on a CRT terminal that only displayed text and I proved them wrong :)

(I'm Super-Geek!)

I cant stop playing Pac Man, and now Victoria whats her name beat my second place score so she goes on the 'do not resuscitate' list along with Kalina. I will win, I don;t care if I don't go to work for a month. It will be harder now since Dr. Viridian says I can;t have my sugary playing aids (CTC) anymore, but I will persevere. I think I'm shaking less anyway.

That's the only thing that makes Mini Pool hard. Just remember on the higher levels to set up your shot and fire before the balls finish rolling, otherwise there won't be enough time. An incredible amount of luck is needed.

Or we can make a deal whereby I don't touch one of your scores if you don't touch one of mine. :) Sort of like a mafia to mafia deal :)

So don't touch Life Buoy and I won't touch Turkey Shoot :)
