These aren't nearly as old, but I always loved these things, especially given the restrictions placed on Willingham re: violence.

Hah, when I read those as a teenager I somehow never noticed how non-violent they were

Ha! An indel is a type of genetic mutation (insertion/deletion) that we look for with the technology I'm using. I may be able to work this into a work presentation!

Those are hilarious ads.
It's been a while since I checked in on this thread. When is the ad for $20+$4/post PBM from? $4 is about $14 in today's dollars. Just think about that and count up the number of posts on here. If even half my posts are actual game posts as opposed to OOC chat, that's still $36,000 worth of posts!
No, ToniXX, I'm not donating that much.

Why do you think I have a moderator job here? Gotta pay off my posting indiscretions from an earlier, more flamboyant gaming phase.

PBM Car Wars? Man, you could go broke that way.
Also: nice "homage" to Speed Racer there.

Probably my most favourite AppleIIe game, Car Wars. Finished it at least four times, which was pretty good for back then. For me, anyway.
