"Hunt the Wumpus".
Simple graphics, simple puzzle solving, but for some reason the combination of the music, and the flashing of Red on the screen when you were taken out by the Wumpus, was enough to scare the freaking crap out of me. Still to this day, if I play the game, the same level of fear creeps over me, from being instilled with that fear from day 1...

I'd love to be able to carry, or cheaply ship a real computer to sites when I have to travel, or even set it up back at the hotel rooms so I can squash bugs, compile, and do database stuff on a *real* computer.
With a 20lb laptop you should have no troubles squashing any size bugs in your Hotel, granted if you have to squash bugs, maybe you should find a new hotel?
I was a barely satisfied comcast customer, in Hillsboro, OR...now that FiOS is available in my area I switched over to that and have been blown away by the performance.
For about $50/mo I get 15mbps down and 2mbs up with Verizon FiOS. It's fast. After reading about a free fps game nixious or whatever it is, I grabbed the 200+mb file in under 2 minutes. That was a change from what I was used to with comcast.
When I had comcast I paid an extra $10 for total of $65 to get 8mbs down 768K up...As soon as the Fiber Optics were available, I switched, and have had no issues as of the past 30 days.

It must have the following:
-Be cheap to begin with
-Have a monthly fee to use
-Gradually improve through regular upgrades
-Require an upgraded PC to support add-on expansions

The Chicken that came from whatever egg that was not of a chicken, then in turn laid an egg that was a chicken egg.

What a brilliant Idea, now I will just borrow my friends' "Backup" and he won't care because his new original will work just fine.;)
Heck, I could just buy a bunch of new games and sell the new games and keep the backups...woohoo!
Or am misunderstanding how your backup system works?

There are already laws/measures and rating systems to prevent kids from purchasing these types of games. The issue is not to stop producing the games it is to make it more restrictive to purchase. For example an under 17 kid has a better chance of purchasing an MA 17+ game than he would at purchasing liquor/alcohol. (This is all relative of course to areas and education/skills of individuals at the register.)
I think distinguishing the MA rated games from the rest is important. Just as the soda/beverage aisle is normally not the same as the chilled alcohol section. The XXX videos are in a different section than the general/family videos (assuming the rental store carries more than just that type of video.) At Fry's / Sam Goodies / etc.. that sell DVDs they may have the 18+ hentai videos near the anime, but they are all together and not mixed in, as well as they all have a black plastic divider covering the front displays and are heavily marked about their content. The retail game outlets need to take a clue or have a law force some policy at the presentation layer to the general consumer. You would never see an anome "Sakara Chan's Nine Tentacles of bondaged pleasure 9" appear in a [insert retailer] ad, so games rated for the adult (MA/AO) market shouldn't be allowed in ads.
Retailers and Rental distribution need to be given some policy on presentation. The development of gaming needs no boundaries.

Great, once they have some mobility and balace/stability, send a squad of these built with a bullet resistent armor, set to tracking mode and send them off to iraq/terrorist zone/war zone etc...headshot...headshot...headshot...headshot...
Who would shoot back at a *less dressed* female carrying a nice big gun...I suppose they could be redesigned to match the visually pleasing preference of the so called "enemy" for extra bonus.
Might as well leave the Sex Mini-Game in and have it enabled as a feature part of the actual game...
No point buying an AO game if it doesn't have the AO content for everyone to access.

That's like saying that the end is near for Nintendo's Mario/Zelda/Metroid, or Polyphany's Gran Turismo.
It doesn't matter whether the quality dips or rises across the series or console generations...
In marketing class if I learned anything, if your product is in "Cash Cow" corner, you hold on to it. As long as people keep paying for Mortal Kombat, Midway is going to keep turning the crank and popping them out.
