Leisure Suit Larry!?
Forums › General Discussion › Leisure Suit Larry!?-
I know I'm dating myself here, but sometimes I think about how far technology and games have come.
How many remember life before there was the "world wide web?" Or when we had to use 1200 baud modems, BBS, and Gopher!
And of course Pong, Atari, Intellivision, and The Amiga were cool game systems.
And I don't know what made me think of this, but I remember spending hours playing the Leisure Suit Larry games. Awesome!

We have made amazing advances since "Pet Rocks"!

My 49 ford just has lap belts but if it didn't have seat belts I still would not get in trouble

I used to toggle in the bootstrap on an Altair 8800B and then load microsoft basic from a cassette... and then load another program called "hunt the wumpus". My dad built them in the 70's and ordered the basic cassette from Bill Gates directly. lol.

Running around the van with no seatbelt. Jumping from the front seat to the back seat. Party lines, cassettes, and parachute pants! The 80's were awesome!

I ran a BBS back in the early 90s. Still remember being excited when I 'upgraded' to a 14.4k modem!

The miners strikes, the lack of xmas gifts for us kids because dad didn't want to be a scab. Coin slot tv from the rental shop. Watching The wonder years on a sunday afternoon. There was Alf and the first band aid.
When snickers were marathon and when cadbury creme eggs were twice the size they are now! Or is it my hands?!
When we wanted to communicate with friends, we went to seek them!!
Ahhh, bad things aside I would love to be there again!
