This is the fifth and final part in a series I’m writing on games that I played so long ago that I’d almost forgotten them.
Back in the day before we were all on the internet, I used to log onto bulletin board systems with a dial-up modem to play door games. I played Usurper, I [...]

This is the fourth part in a series I’m writing on games that I played so long ago that I’d almost forgotten them.

This one is even more old school than the Commodore 64 wallpapers I’ve been putting together. River Raid is an Atari 2600 game, and I remember loving it. I could play this game for hours.

…well, it’s certainly one of my two or three favorites in the game. And it’s probably the hardest non-optional stealth room in the game. Because I couldn’t screenshot from within the game, I took this shot with a digital camera. You’ve got to climb down that ladder, hide behind the crates at the base of [...]
