I always mention it and people are like "no idea what you are talking about"... This game is classic. Remember the cone-shaped stones that asked riddles and you had to answer each one of them? Ah memories....

I remember that game kicked my butt!!!

I still remember the ending fight like it was a re-occuring nightmare.

Late 1970s... we had it before I graduated 8th grade in 1980.

Which was yours?

Mine too. I think that is a pic of mine, I wondered where it went.

First PC was 386sx-16mhz. I even paid extra for the 100 Mb hard drive. They said I could never fill the whole thing. (I sure proved them wrong)

Console: NES! I remember thinking how complicated Mario Bros. was, and wondering how the TV knew where I was aiming the gun when playing Duck Hunt. Sometime in the early 90's, I think.

Computer: mid 90's, 486 dx 66mhz... or something like that. It was my introduction into computers, I remember learning how to use DOS by editing stuff I shouldn't... like the autoexec.bat. Learned how to run from my pissed dad for breaking the PC the next day when he tried to boot up the computer and everything went all weird.

First Console was a NES

First Computer was an IBM PS1 486 with 99 mghz and a 1 gig harddrive! (this was a monsterous gaming computer at the time)

From memory, my first PC, was a Pentium I, 133mhz, 32mb of EDO memory, windows 95 and a 4.2gb hard disk
Can't remember what the graphics card was, I do remember it being an ATI Mach64....think it was the Mach64 "Turbo"
Which got upgraded to the Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra
Sound card was originally the classic Creative labs Soundblaster 16, which I upgraded to the Creative labs Awe 64 Gold
