Actually, I'm being genuinely sympathetic in something that is otherwise rare for me, so I understand your confusion. If you think about it hard enough, though, you'll realize that it's not quite so uncharacteristic of me here after all.

The truly depressing thing is that the taint has gone international. Just look at how hard it is to find a game where you can kill children, because it wouldn't be allowed in Germany. Argh. And the little buggers are always so annoying, too, like it's somehow more wrong to kill children, which are much more easily produced, than adults. Besides, isn't that the entire point of video games?

But the Predator says that there is no honor in killing children. Unless they are equipped with laser-rifles and shotguns.

They might serve as troll-supplies, though, to preserve my stone-gardens.

This is not exactly an uncommon occurrence where I live, for shotguns, anyway. Children are fairly useless until they can wield shotguns, or at least man turrets, anyway.

I do not know of this Car Wars of which you speak. Is it anything like Star Wars?

Apparently Steve Jackson Games is still publishing some new Version of the classic Car Wars. But they've streamlined it and made it purely tactical.

Oh the joys of perusing Uncle Al's weapon catalog, shopping for roof mounted turrets and rocket pods. Those were the days.

The classic C64 Autoduel was sweet too.

EDIT: Sorry for taking this even further OT, but the topic has been played out mefinks.
