End of the road again

Lots of ink, but no winners

I think this is about as good as I get (pre- or post-incident)

And I even left with most of it – thanks, Mystic Lake

Level 1710, Two Dots

None to be found on this trip

Liked this game a lot

Back at the end of the Two Dots road again

…along with four of her friends

Also Keepin’ It Hot, babies and FU ?

For the longest time, I’ve had this image of a video game in my mind that I thought was a metaphor for life. It was a racing game that used forced perspective, with the road stretching to the horizon and an endless supply of other cars coming at you that you needed to avoid and pass. I got really good at the game, basically being able to play non-stop, never losing and only quitting when I got bored. Pass, pass, pass…run up the score.

Today I thought I’d research this game, always thinking it was Enduro by Activision. I never had an Atari 2600, though, so if this is the game, I must’ve played it at a friend’s house (I seem to recall using the “paddle” controllers for it). I had a number of Intellivision driving games (Auto Racing, Bump ‘n’ Jump, Triple Action), but none of them fit the look and feel model I’m thinking about…

Bad streak or hold adjustment?

At least I beat her on one of them

My alternative to Orchid

Still cheaper than Hinckley

Donkey Kong Country sure seemed prettier back then

Didn’t know if I’d ever make it to the end (more levels coming soon)

Something tells me these aren’t NFL approved

I wish these were easier to win

Stupid time sucks…
