Wow - I thought I was the only 40-something male on here but clearly I'm in good company! I'll be 49 in October but still think I'm a teenager - and as my 3 sons think I am addicted to this game (which I confess that I am!) - maybe I should be pleased that I don't act my age.

We are the 30ish couple. Sometimes I wonder if we are all compensating for a lack of highlights magazines in our early years

However I'm a big fan of amazingly bad wall puns referencing WL items, fiends who admit they lime lifetime movies, and the general absurdity of collecting digital images scandalously! Er I mean....nothing, nothing going on here...
Did you say snacks...um...

When you stop and think about it, all this stuff the kids these days take for granted, it really is awesome! But then I did walk barefoot up hill to school in the snow, both ways.
I was the first of my friends to have a computer as well. I had the original "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" that you had to use a real book to find the answers to be able to play! My friends hated it because they said it was too much work, but being the bookworm that I am I totally rocked that game;)

Hi everyone, from Austin, Texas first video game was PONG, yeah I'm 52 this year! Love MM when it is working, fits with my ADHD very nicely 
The last set of quest was crazy busy, but for the most part I enjoyed the chaos!!
GI would have won more people over if they didn't time the event, but from what I've seen posted they are going to run it every full moon!
Has anyone else noticed the drop rate from rooms has fallen into the abyss? Got a mobuis bow only from a room while running the turtle
What is up with that?

Yeah, I have, and it's really crappy timing for me. I'm stuck on the robot quest needing elebinty million oil cans and can't find them, and just got a quest needing 10 banana guns but after exploring five or six rooms I didn't get a single one! Maybe they're punishing us for finding loopholes

I'm seeing the same even with the turtle drops are 2 or 3 items which used to be a lot more.

I had and loved that game too. There was another game using a book, not sure if it was Carmen, that my sister had. I also loved The Colonel's Bequest: a Laura Bow Mystery. Thinking about it that game is pretty similar to MM.sfinley ibrahim wrote:Soozicle wrote:Well I have been a "text based game" gamer since before "gamer" was a word, but I suck at and get incredibly frustrated with even 15 year old adventure games.

The text game I played was Madness and the Minotaur. You can still find TRS80 simulators online with it loaded to play!! I get just as frustrated with it now as I did back then... lol

My very first video game was... Super Mario Bros.
And the rest, as they say, is history!

I had this too. My first PC games were on casette tapes! The tape player and keyboard plugged into the TV. If I remember correctly, at particular points in the game you had to pause to play side B of the tape.Admin wrote:My very first video game was... Super Mario Bros.

35 and female...following the crowd!
I also grew up on Carmen Sandiego...when my school got their first computer when i was in grade 8!! It was educational so we were allowed to play it if we finished our desk work.
Sooz, i try to put some humour in my posts too, just to lighten it up a little, but people tend to look at me funny when i say i tipped over some stuff in their rooms instead of just saying i tipped them. Ah well.
Cheers all, back to my quest to find a dark knight!

I'm 54, sometimes feel 154, sometimes feel like I'm 14.....guess I'm a kid at heart. I live in Philly, PA. Glad I found this forum, nice to have all the "manorites" to commiserate (and have fun) with!
