Don`t get me going...this is one of my favourite topics
Yeah, I loved Zork and almost all the Infocom text adventures, although they were quite a pain in the ass to play on the C-64 with constant disk drive loading and they were very expensive over here in Germany and hard to find, too. I loved the packaging and the gimmicks that came with some of the games. Later on it was more fun to play them on the Amiga or the PC, as those computers had enough memory to stop the annoying loading (I actually bought a CD a few years ago with every single Infocom adventures + instructions...a real bargain).
I seriously miss those great old text adventures with graphics...like the games from Magnetic Scrolls, Melbourne House, Level 9 and Adventure Soft. Ahhh, those were the days Itīs an abandoned artform.

What is more amusing is showing my 10 year old games like that and telling her how I could spend hours at a time playing it when I was younger.
At least you had the disc drive. I remember playing one game on a friend's TRS-80 that had a cassette drive. Remember those? It took about 15 minutes to load the program into memory. Of course if you died you had to start over by rewinding and then reloading the game again. Mind you that was just a text and simple lo-res graphix game too.
That's when I quickly learned what a piece of shit computer that was and pushed my parents for the (snicker) top of the line at the time Apple IIe with two disc drives. I think we got that back in '83. They still had it until the early 90's when they finally broke down and bought a Pentium 1 PC when that was the fresh technology.

Still playing KOF XI like it's nobody's business. The thing that sort of bothers me, as much as I appreciate the price of this game ($15 brand new), is that it's worth every bit of $50 or so like the "hot" releases. It just doesn't seem "right" that this much quality is being sold at that asking price. I know, stupid complaint...oh well, back to playing!

Still having a ball on KOF XI, and I think I've got a newfound interest/infatuation in Elisabeth Blanctorche. Who is she you ask? Well, take a look at the cover of the game...
(the image is a gif, so please ignore the crappy edges on this black background)
Elisabeth's that little hottie-boom-ba-lottie down in front with the white duds, short hair, and looks like she's got an attitude problem. I underestimated this new girl from day one, thinking her attacks are subpar, her strength levels weren't worth the trouble, etc...but man, I got on a roll today using her, Duolon, and Benimaru, and I think she wound up leaving those guys in the dust! I've been a fairly decent Benimaru player since '94, a so-so Duolon player since '03, but as of '07 I think I've fallen for Elisabeth. If you want a short and sweet demo of this lady's attack power, check out this link:

I want to get this game also, but a lot of people I work with tell my Guitar Hero is awesome. I'm anticipating Street Fighter IV. Soon as it comes out, I'll be first in line.

Have never played any of the previous parts... Played it on Demo at a local gaming store via PS3 and was interested as soon as I left the store. I then rented it out on PS2 at the video store and this game is so fucking addicting ....
I like rock but I ain't a serious rocker and when you have the volume full blast man, you feel the rock flowin' through your body (Call me crazy ) There are alot of songs I don't know in here but you feel it... Added more songs to my song-vocab.. the guitar feels like a fucking weapon.... Looks like I'm buyin' it for Christmas

Theres a Fatal Fury collection out for the PS2 for those that still love 2-d fighters. I'm going to grab that after Christmas. Just bought Street Fighter anniversary so I can play Third Strike 'til part 4 comes out. This game is awesome.

I just picked up Tomb Raider Anniversary for the 360, but haven't thrown it in yet. Tomb Raider Legend was awesome, so I decided to partake in this one. I wanted to get Call of Duty 4 and my cousin was singing the praise of Mass Effect all day long on Christmas. He said it is like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in that you can become good or evil. I'm also thinking of getting Area 51 Blacksite. Anyone play any of these yet? The previews for Star Wars The Force Unleashed looked awesome too.

You're right...Tomb Raider Legend was an awesome one. I have it for my GameCube, but I only played it just long enough to get the "barefoot Laura" outfit unlocked, and haven't gone back to it just yet. I really need to finish it.
As for what I'm playing, I'm still hopelessly hung up on King of Fighters XI, and today I accomplished my first Dream Cancel! I couldn't believe it, but I did it with Bonne Jenet, one of my favorite characters, so that made it a little extra cool. Check out this clip of Jenet's Dream Cancel... Jenet gives new meaning to the term "shoe play"
I also pulled off my first Super Cancel with Benimaru, which was pretty cool too.
