What’s your favorite video game?
I’ve never been all that taken with computer games. As a kid, I liked pong and battle tanks. In college, I liked Archon, and Mrs. Crowhill and I wasted a lot of time on Bard’s Tale, which was a lot of fun. Later I enjoyed an Apache helicopter simulator on my Commodore 128. I also enjoy Age of Empires every once in a great while.
But I think my favorite computer game is Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64. That was a lot of fun, and I played it a lot with the kids.
