Okay, we're going WAY off thread here, but heck, yeah! Those were very fun 
games (for their times). I just played Impossible Mission again a few months 
ago on a friend's C64. Back when the game came out, I thought it had the 
sharpest-looking graphics I'd ever seen. As time went on, I still convinced 
myself that it's graphics looked good. I guess I shouldn't have played it 
again - compared with today's games, it really looks (& plays) sad.

That's for us old guys - we tend to look through rose-colored glasses at the 
"golden age" of videogames, but after going back to play the classics, I have 
to admit that while the old games were written by the guys who invented 
gameplay, it's really been refined since then. Battlezone is still fun, but 
(to get slightly back on thread) can't hold a candle to MW2.
