Nostalgia Moment: Castle

 When we had our PCjr, there was not many games out there. One game we randomly got was called Castle. It was a ascii adventure game where you moved around a small map and typed in actions for your character to perform. Since there was no list or instructions on how to play, we never really finished it but we had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to actually do things. I recently watched someone else play it, (below) and found we actually got pretty far in the game. I think we even got the scepter once but never used it on the gate. But we tried a lot and had a lot of fun doing it. 

Here is a random video of someone beating it in two parts;

Nostalgia Moment: Test Drive III

 Test Drive III was one of the first driving games that I played as a kid. It was amazing to watch you be able to control a car and drive under bridges and hit various things. We didn't have a legit version so we would always get stuck at the verification screen. We did know some answers which we had written down but most of the time we would guess wrong and have 1 minute only to drive before it would kick us out. Made us really want to buy the game but there was no way for us to actually do it at the time. 

Gameplay was (at time time) awesome. Now... not so much. It was very choppy for us so we crashed a lot. Also we didn't know how to drive so we would just go as fast as possible. Also probably the reason why we crashed a lot.
