>>>>>I wasn't very good - compared to others around me - at these games, but I loved to play them. I did well at the Star Wars game - wireframe, but very realistic - though I've never met anyone else who even heard of it.

>>There was this stupidly addicting game called "Sopwith Camel" I think, that was played on my first Tandy 1000. You flew a plane (wide angle side view only) across the screen and fought another plane. It was very simplistic, but I couldn't stop playing it. Tried to find a pic or link to it, but the ones I found were way more complex. This was like watching a cartoon.

>Years ago I used to play old Doom with my wee daughter (3/4) on my knee. Once I tried to get her to bed and she screamed the house down with, repeatedly for c. half an hour "I WANT TO PLAY THE KILLING GAME!"

My daughter loved Barney the Dinosaur (annoying song purple dinosaur). She watched the show all the time. So my son and I were playing a modded Doom 1 where the monsters were Barney. My daughter comes in to see what we're laughing about and bursts into a shreiking tear-filled fit! Which only made us try to laugh and feel concerned at the same time. :) I don't know if she's over it yet.
