Jumpman Junior

After the warning that you could tell the posts easily - this is Krista talking about a very Jim topic - video games.

When I was a kid, we didn't have any game system except a Commodore 64. We thought it was the coolest thing ever. Talking to my sister the other day, we are very good at games that no one has heard of, but not the games that everyone knows how to play.

For Valentine's Day, I got a joystick filled with old Commodore 64 games. I love it. Lately, I am sort of addicted to Jumpman Junior - I am trying to get to the 5th level right now. It is a good stress reliever.

Krista - I had a Commodore 64 too!!! In fact, I think it's still collected dust in my dad's basement. I never knew anyone else who had one! I remember typing up really long programs just to turn the keyboard into a piano-type thing. I thought it was the coolest! I don't remember many of the games... just one that was like Space Invaders, a math game (yuck)... Oh, and Frogger!
My brother and I eventually bought an Atari and practically crippled ourselves playing Ms. Pacman with that horrible joystick. Ah, memories...

I never had one, but I know C did and he loved it too. He has always been VERY skeptical of my remaining friends with someone who has been through a seminary, but when I told him about your love of the Commodore 64 games, his attitude softened considerably....
