A lot of good memories with my Apple and Amiga there.

I remember the original mechwarior game. it had three word codes that often spelled odd things, like SIERRA ECHO XRAY. have to appreciate programmers with a sense of humor. Since I was pretty young, I probably would not have realized that it was even supposed to spell something if it was not for the original Falcon (what a great game) code wheel that had its windows labled as FOXTROT, ALPHA, LIMA, CHARLIE, OSCAR, NOVEMBER.

How about the Wasteland 'Paragraph Book'

"Enough of this dirty Wasteland duty, I am going to get a job in one of those respectable Bard's Tale games! Stop reading paragraphs you shouldn't be!"
