I actually played Moon Patrol a couple weeks ago. I wasn't as good as I remember being at it, so I put my next quarter into Ms. Pacman.

Thats funny, but I just heard Achy Breaky Heart yeaterday on VH1 or something.

And for the record, some of those things, I have never thought of

an abacus but not a slide rule?

[crash]

When I played it as a kid, there was one spot in the game I could never get past. I want revenge, but I can't find a game.

For some reason, I remember being able to shot both straight ahead and directly up in Moon Patrol. That can't be right, can it?

[crash]

yeah, I think when you pressed the "fire" button, it shot one ahead and one straight up at the same time. you had rocks and other stuff in front of you that you had to explode, and UFOs hovering overhead to kill. (a "jump" button, too, for craters and land mines.)
