When I was a kid, I loved Jim Davis' Garfield. Now, I much prefer Lynn Johnston's For Better or For Worse... that comic just seems refreshingly mature.

What is your favorite comic strip?

General Discussion / Video Games you grew up on

So what kind of then state-of-the-art gaming system did you grow up on? What was your favorite game on the system?

Being born in 1980, I grew up on the Atari 2600 and played such classics like Space Invaders, Pong, Asteroids, Ms Pac Man, Joust, and Galaxian. My favorite game for the Atari 2600 system was Astroblast, which was produced by Atari's competitor, Mattel Electronics (pioneers of the first ever 16-bit system known as the Intellivision).

Sure, there are glamorous games available on consoles and the computer today, but I still find myself going back to the old Atari for some simple old fashioned fun.
