Yeah, it's been 12 years since I played it.

There are many variations of that type of artillery game. They range from the primitive past to some rather modern and bizarre 3D reincarnations.

Wow. It's been fourteen years since I played that game, but I instantly recognized it from the description.

Fourteen? Aren't you 18 or 19? I don't think I even knew what a computer game was until I was 7 or 8...

I much enjoyed the old QBasic version of Gorillas. I particularly liked the way that in the version I have, if you throw a banana with a velocity of 360, it skips significantly, and so can be used to cut through buildings much more quickly.

I think that Gorillas was the first computer game I ever played, with Number Munchers being second.

Nearly fourteen years, and yes, I was four at that time.

But I did guess systematically how far and how high to shoot the banana. :nods:

Oh my God! I remember this game! Ah the good old days of my childhood when computers were command-line, and people still programmed in BASIC on a regular basis.

Ouch. I was 14 before I realised that by applying a little logic to it my rocket/banana/random projectile would be more accurate. Before then, I played using a complex system of guessing numbers...

I did get chess at an early age though - I learned to play at 6.

Edit: Wrong bracket in quotation.

Edit 2: Wrong spelling of "wrong".

I don't want to be arrogant or something, no reallt, I don't, but when I was three (or four, i can't really remember) I almost managed to beat the Dark knight in dark castle. I was really adicted to that game.

Maybe it sounds a bit odd or arrogant (or something else), but the first game I ever played was E3. :cool:

EDIT: Such earlier strategy games are cool too. :cool: :cool: :cool:

You know, why the Sliths are green - because of their scales.

Maybe you know why some slith eyes were once red - ´cause the demons, which led them were red.

But why are the eyes of the Slith Lord Followers red? Because they see the remains of their enemies always before the battle begins!
