I still have my original D&D and AD&D, Traveller etc. I stil have my d&d beige/brown booklets, and my 1e ad&d books. I added Traveller a few years ago. Haven't ha a chance to play them this century though. >The only old games I still play are RPGs such as The Bard's Tale >(Spectrum) and Amberstar (Atari). >I still have a regular (well once a year is regular, it's just not very >frequent) D&D game that has been going since the 80s. > >What was the conclusion of old vs new games? I haven't paid much attention as my sisters and I went to the arcade back then. Tempest and Centipede were our faves. Back around 1990 I bought a cd with centipede on it, and it almost ruined my computer. Not sure why, I don't think it was the early form of DirectX that caused the hiccups. The discussion on the forums has been going on for around a month or two now.
