Well, if you want to be technical about it, then America belongs to Britain, and you guys all committed treason back on the 4 July 1776.
Thats nearly 230 years of back taxes you'll be owing us.
But it's OK, we'll just keep the HTTP protocol, telephones, and Linux (That'd be a European invention, cheers Linus), not to mention a few more choice bits of technology.
And another point - if you own us, then why is your economy so weak compared to ours, and how come you can't spell colour properly? ;o)
The game that first sent me running from the keyboard of my Amiga 500 was Alien Breed back in '91. I was only about 10/11 when it came out, and I'd sneaked a watch of the Aliens film a few weeks before. The game was so dark and atmospheric, and to a 10 year old, utterly terrifying. Then after that in '96(I think) comes Doom. This game for me was the single handed reason to switch from Amiga to PC, and from there develop into the geek I am today. It taught me the finer points of doging shots by frantically leaning in my chair. I remember when I first came up upon the cyberdemon. I fell out of my chair. It was huge! Then there's Aliens vs Predator, which to this day I refuse to play in the dark as a Marine. I couldn't really forget to include Half-life either;) The storyline is what does it for that game.
