I bought a Pong game the first time that I saw one. From Sears and I paid a hundred bucks for it. Changed my life.
And i remember upgrading from my Vic 20 to a C64. I was amazed at the incredible 64 kilobytes of memory it had (before subtracting what was needed for the operating system). Now, my four gigs seem inadequate. Times change.
John? You read it here. Make it a good story! Maybe we could hire Alan Moore to write it. Although then, if it gets picked up for a movie, he’ll make a stink about wanting his name off it.
I remember programming in games on our Commodore 128D, Peeks and Pokes by the gazillions. Grab a magazine and start typing endless lines of that stuff.
You can see that Jay is more the nostalgic type, while Roy likes to look forward. Neither one is very good at concentrating on where they are right now. Yoda would be disappointed.

So the beard STAYS? YES! YES! KEEP THE BEARD!
And as an aside, being born in 1991, I remember the days before the internet, when video games were still DOS-heavy…

New technology fleetingly fades and mourning for it dissipates like the morning dew. Doughnuts are a foundation of society.

Trim it up or lose the beard. I am not a facebook afficianado so I cant vote there. But either way Roy is Roy and I enjoy him and his peccadiloes.

We bought a $100 Pong game, too. Our 2 small kids loved it as much as we did. Those were the days!

King’s Quest……that was a fun game. Had to use the arrow buttons on the keyboard to move the characters. That must have been back in 1989.

Please keep the beard, trim it up a la Seneca Crane if you like, but please, keep it. :)
