I haven't lost my touch
I'm thrilled to have my home pc up and running again! So thrilled that I downloaded, for the low low price of 9.95, a handful of classic Atari games including Centipede, Missile Command, Tempest, and Pong.
The Centipede screen looks just like it did on the stand up machine that stood in the lobby of the Murphy Mart in Kingwood, WV. Playing this game again, hearing the sounds especially, gives me vivid memories of hanging out with Barbie Helm and playing Centipede and Donkey Kong as long as we dared to before I was due home. Attempting to beat each others high score, and hoping a cute boy would come by and ask us to play a two player game with him.
Hey, a cute boy just came by and handed me his trackball mouse, hoping to make my Centipede experience all the more realistic! I think I'll hook that puppy up and beat my own high score for the evening!
