For me, it's the fact that I was kept somewhat isolated from all such things. I made up for it by being something of a Kaypro and later Macintosh junkey, but I actually saw my first arcade about five or six years back, far removed from their heyday. My goal is to try to - one day - create a pasta that's true to that level of urban-legend producing, deeply-engraining popular culture arcade status... Without actually referencing or describing the game in mention.

So I guess, in a way, some part of me - still young and isolated - gets to live vicariously through the adventures of others, living vicariously through arcade games. It seems oddly appropriate somehow... Also, I didn't know that Wolfenstein 3D was proceeded by Castle Wolfenstein, let alone that the two games had a Duke/Duke 3D vibe to them. Hmn, live and learn...

9001 seperate thanks - although I don't have much to offer in return, if you're ever looking for a specific early computing shareware game, I have an *arsenal* of floppies left over. And I don't care how old it makes me look, I'll keep the discs to Legion 'till I die!
