    We don't need to give these idiots ideas. :P

    I never was much for video games, although I remember "Missile
    Command", "Wizard Of Wor", and "Space Invaders". I have a similar door
    to Space Invaders on the BBS...it's called "Arcadia".

    However, I preferred pinball...my favorites were such games as "Space Invaders" (yes, there was a pinball game with that name...it was
    similar to "Silverball Mania" in design), Paragon, Meteor, Fire Power,
    and The Black Knight, to name a few. I spent many a quarter in the
    Student Union Game Room when I was in college nearly 40 years ago.

    I played my share of video games, but my all time favorite TO THIS DAY
    is still a real live Pinball Machine! Can't beat it!!!

    Last trip to stay with our son in Indy we went north to a little town
    - a college town, I believe - that has a pinball parlor! They have
    a few video games as well, but about 25 pinball machines! Some old
    ones too!

    Loved it!!!

    Jimmy,

    I have a CD of "Lost World Pinball" that I play on the computer. The
    scenario is a plane with 2 guys and a girl, that crashes on a volcanic
    island, and there are prehistoric reptiles all over the place. There are
    15 different mazes to get through, and while playing you can earn a
    "Continue Game Bonus". But, it's hard to get through all of them.

    As much as I've banged on my keyboard, I'm surprised I don't have that problem. :P
