As far as “old games” go… I want to know who the heck actually figured out on their own (as opposed to being tipped off to the trick by a friend) to give the jeweled egg to the thief, without allowing him to leave with it (i.e., attacking and killing him immediately afterwards) to get it open for the damn windup bird inside? Of all the things in that game that was the only bit I needed a tip off for! ---

[QUOTE=Terrifel] I killed the Wumpus. [/QUOTE] Remember that orange-yellow book? Computer Games? I programmed the Wumpus on my cassette tape drive for my TI/99-4A. Then I couldn’t find the drive. Because my mom was using it for her Jane Fonda workout. ---
