LOL banana!

I was listening to Jim Rome the other day and he was ranting about a Snowboard Company putting Porn stars on their snowboards and marketing these boards to 13 year olds.

In the middle of this rant, Rome says quote "What's next, Ron Jeremy on lunch boxes.....with the tag-line, stuff your meat in this box..."

Don't ask me why, but the first person I thought of was banana!

Falcon 3.0 absorbed me for the longest time, especially after "Operation Fighting Tiger" expansion came out.  When I finally had a reason to buy a computer that even my wife couldn't refute (grad school, MSEE), I went out weeks before I got the computer and bought Falcon 3.0.

From my Atari 800 days (am I dating myself), the best game I had was "M.U.L.E"...spent many a late night and six-pak of MGD (hey, I was on a budget!) playing that with buddies from work.

I can remember that if you got Falcon 3.0 to work over a modem with a friend (with the sacrificial chicken) you got your masters degree in Networking. ;)

XCOM was an amzing game.  But I can't believe no one said:

1) BoB - Their Finest Hour

2)Battlehawks 1942

3)Empire (holy crap I played the hell outta that one!!)

4)688-Silent Killer (or something like that, GREAT sub game)

5)Castle Wolfenstein 3D

6)Red Baron II (Hehehehe...just kidding!!!  The original is my all-time favorite FS)

No way!  "Silent Hunter" was the greatest sub game ever!  I still play it when I'm not flying vs taking the time to learn "Silent Hunter 2".
