"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean, if Pac-Man
affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in
darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to
repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson,

    Could magic pills be a symbol for Certs mints with Retsyn crystals? They do look quite familiar.

    Needless to say, that guy hadn't been in any of the dance clubs (the ones with "techno" music and "magic pills" of a different sort [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] ) that were springing up even then... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    Well, I listen to electronic music (almost nothing else) and I didnt play Pacman much when I was young. I was too busy playing the other games on my C64... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    PacMan was one of the games I played on the C64. The electronic music rocked!

    I played it on the Atari 2600.
    I still hire some of my classmates from Primary school to dress up as flashing ghosts and chase me..
    ..while I eat magic pills..
    ..with electronic music playing.

    The minimum wage => 4 magic pills an hour.
    or is that $?

    Damn that electronic music, I can never remember.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Actually, I think that would more likely be the magic pills doing that. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    I think you need more pills.
    BEWARE!
    THEY'RE IMMUNE NOW!
    THEY CAN EAT YOU AGAIN!

    *shoots Pac-Man*

    NO MORE BEEPING! AHH!!!!


    *gobbles more magic pills*
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    [HAL-like voice]The pills no longer stop them, Striker. They are immune. Give in...give in...give in to the polygonal side...[/HAL-like voice]
  • StrikerStriker Provided with distinction
    NEVER!!!!!!

    A story:
    There once was a man walking along a road, who tripped over stone, and fell. As he got up he realised that moving the stone had uncovered a rusty old can.
    He, in his idle curiosity, opened the can, to find it full of worms.
    As he continued to examine the contents of the can, they began to change. Within minutes of the opening of the can, the worms had become giant demonic lizardy things (think Buffy season 3 - Graduation Day part II).
    The beasts rampage across the country, leaving a wide swathe of destruction and death in their wake.
    No trace of the man can be found, except a pair of blood stained shoes.

    Thus ends my analogy of this topic.
