The original Warriors had a pit in the center of the screen and the object was to dump the other player into the pit similar "Knights" though.

yeah I was (see my edit of the previous posting)
I was very involved in the whole early Video based games scene in Silicon Valley. But truth be told, pinball ruled my world and always will. |

that's like when I got my first tattoo. I told the Tatttoist (Freddy Corbin) that I was getting it for my birthday. He asked me what birthday and I answered my 43rd. Then he said that his Dad was 43! LOL |

The best part is that Freddy is now close to being in his 40's
but still perhaps one of the best tattooists on the planet. <---- the horned serpent in my profile is my second Freddy tattoo, and ALL of Twatwaffles (Lexs) tattoos are by Freddy. |

What was the game where you had to follow quick on screen commands (like left or right) to avoid a grisly death? You were some sort of warrior (may have been D&D based). |

I was thinking of Dragon's Lair. You had to pump an insane amount of money into that in order to get remotely far.

I'm thinking Dragon's Lair or Shadowgate. Tattoo? Never found a reason to get one (though I toyed the idea with diamonds and barbed wire on my upper back and around the biceps... I eventually nixed the temptation)... what made you want one in the first place? My dad is free of tattoos though my mom have a butterfly (just linear) on her thumb. She did it herself. In fact, I don't think any of my relatives have tattoos that I know of! |

Mister Slippery wrote: Yup, I did. The blondie is a hottie. Dirk is pretty unique, too. I'm still stunned that he does not have his own series. I am a fan of "Time Wrap". ETA About the tattoo artist, did he do Evil Dick? |

Doobie Screw wrote:ooops - yeah Dragons lair - not Dragons quest. The whole concept behind that was to create a quarter eating console system that could be re purposed by swapping out the laser disk and slapping new decals on the box housing the game. The games industry realized that these joints had a limited life span, and they wanted to maximise the real estate occupied by the very expensive physical unit by being able to reconstitute it when the game had run it's course. |

I heard that MULE was great, but anyone here remember "Crossbow" where you have to kill monsters while protecting Robin Hood, Amazon and a dwarf (who
probably can survives the best out of all characters)?
