    Strange... I didn't think video games were around in '22, let along Mortal Kombat!
    Looking for:
    Chūka Taisen (Cloud Master) manuals
    Monon Color + games

    Yes, video games were around in 1922 but then the great flood occurred, which wiped out the great gaming consoles of that time and forced the entire industry into the dark ages.

    Years in the future, pioneers found the Dead C++ scrolls and once again, the mighty Pong lived once again.

    It was a true live action game, like the chess game in "History of the World".

    Once the depression hit, so did the first gaming crash. Thankfully, we had Ralph Baer to reinvent them.

    My grandmother still has her Edisonboy. It's the size of a mini-fridge and has a turn crank, but it could play Mortal Kombat like you wouldn't believe.

    I must note that Cryo's sexy avatar is the best one that I've seen on the boards. I'm not even going to try to find one for myself now.

    I wish they'd wipe out the video game industry today so we can start over again.

    of course there were games, violent games, back in 1922. what do you think inspired hitler?

    i'm feeling somewhat ashamed that i spent the nessecary 2-3 seconds looking for princess peach's nipple. it was probably drawn by a balding thirty year old man too.

    1922 was a typo. They meant to type 1992, which is when the original arcade game came out. </Captain Obvious>

    I was at a restaurant the other day and I saw a little kid peek out from behind a booth and then back again. I screamed "TOASTY!" and the kid and his parents looked at me like I was nuts.

    Thank you for spoiling our fun.

    BTW, before I forget... pragmatic insanester, are the images in your posts inspired by The Ring?
