If I remember correctly, we OWNED the 3058 league with Wolfie being our MW3 ninja.

I wasn't quite as good, just more willing to wait the opponent out. My matches were epic. Wolfie would get 5 or 6 drops in in the time it took me to get through one ;)
Oh yes we definitely did OWN that league. Considering we were just a merc unit we were stronger than most of the major houses/clans.

For me I was more a keep moving and wear em down person myself. Wolfman was just inhuman.

Freakin' Wolfman. The kid was prodigous.

I never got tired of raiding Jade Falcon. Nothing was sweeter than stealing a dozen JF Madcats - over and over again.

We're definitely back on if this thing happens.

Yeah, we are back on thats for sure. Haha, it's good to see you guys still remember me. We need to all catch up. I'll never forget pounding CJF in the ground, do you guys remember Elias? He was the best one to take out. Funny thing is, I kept some of those battle print outs we would get after a fight. I think they are from the 3060 league, I can scan them on my computer and send them to you guys if you want.

Here I was about lay some smackdown for thread necromancy, but in this case I think it's strangely appropriate. Nice to see you again W.

Wolfman! Good to see you, kid (mid 20s is still a kid).

;)

I would love to see some of those battle reports. I never tired of harassing Elias. He was so ill tempered about it. Of course, if I had to repeatedly fight you to keep my mechs, I'd be ill tempered as well.

The thread has been hijacked. I have Helsinki Syndrome.

Hammurabi
Zork
Adventure
Castle Wolfenstein
Temple of Apshai
Pool of Radiance
Lunar Lander
Rogue
Sabotage
Car Wars
Leisure Suit Larry
Starfleet
Starfleet II: Krellan Commander
Ultima II-VII
Star Saga I
Star Saga II
Might and Magic I-IV
Sim City
Tapper
Jumpman
Loderunner
AutoDuel
Paradroid
Lemonade Stand

I am sure there are more, but I think this is a good representation of my first 10 years of PC games on Apple II, C64, TRS-80 and DOS systems. It is amazing how gaming has advanced in the last 30 years.

"Reminiscing about the olden times" I see no hijack as of yet :thumb:. I never did win Zork... Loved Might & Magic II, though, and Loderunner was pretty fun too. I grew up on Mac games (limited as they were in existance for the apple II), and atari/nintendo/sega consoles. Good times, but games have definitely come a long way.

I noticed a distinct lack of the Wing Commander series and Kings Quest.
