carlsson Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Did anyone say they suck on this game? Well, it is almost my first time playing it and I'm not sure how much I like it so time will tell if I play it again in the next week.

graywest Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Much like last week, I really enjoy the game, but I'm no good at it. This is about as far as I ever get. Hopefully I'll improve over the course of the week. Missile Command: 39,565 And in honor of Halloween, one side of my trackball has blood on it: I honestly don't know what the story behind this trackball is. It isn't *my* blood - it came this way when I bought it at a garage sale. Maybe someone injured themselves during a particularly intense Missile Command session? Maybe it was used as a murder weapon? Who can say... be careful out there, HSC people. ???? Edited October 19, 2020 by graywest 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 ^^ I suppose you didn't go there for tanning and swimming? The forecast says about 13-16 C and rain every day for the next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Looks like a devilled egg Trak-Ball to me After a few goes the game will kick in and you can soon make progress, beginners concentrate on keeping the cities nearest your missile base alive, to survive the rounds and keep an eye on your score to see if you are likely to get the bonus city each round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forecast says about 13-16 C and rain every day for the next week. It's just nice to get away from it all for a few days. It was supposed to be raining today but we had sunshine pretty much all day. Surfing yesterday, two long walks today and surfing planned again for tomorrow. We were supposed to be at my friend's house in Levanto Italy (near Cinque Terra) for the week but our flights were cancelled, it's a good fall back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
