One of my car’s shock absorber got busted. Instead of a taking it to the shop I’m planning to fix it myself. I pulled out that busted shock absorber early one day and bought a replacement during a lunch break. Because of this I suddenly remembered an old friend from the old days.

Found this while rummaging through my stuff. Its my collection of the Marvel Superheroes Role Playing Game made by TSR. TSR is the same company that brought you the Dungeons and Dragons Game. I got this around 1986. I got the Basic Set and the Advanced set, along with some two other optional reference books. What was different between the Basic & Advanced set?, the rules were a little bit more complex for the advanced set.

I was having dinner with my family and my wife offered me a piece off my son’s Kentucky Fried Chicken meal. To which I declined, my wife of course wondered why I did that considering that she knew I loved eating that fastfood meal. During my birthday and Christmas we usually order a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and I gorge on that chicken for every meal till the bucket is empty.

Was happy to see this announcement by GOG that they now have that classic 1993 real time strategy game, Syndicate, in their inventory. Its selling for $5.99 at their site. I was surprised that that game is only 17MB in size considering the great game play. Considering that it came out in 1993, don’t expect any great graphics or mouse gameplay, back then when you played a PC game it usually involved playing with the keyboard.
