Unofficial Tex Murphy

Yeah, I'm jumping the gun a bit, but I think we'll hit it today!!!

Edit! Shazamm! We are at 80% I go get a massage, and magic happens! Huzzah!

The 80's weren't bad. We could stay in the 80's forever if everyone was down...how bout it folks?

I loved the 80s!!!!

THRASH METAL AND MICHAEL JACKSON ALL THE WAY!!!

hehe.

Talk about opposing tastes =P

For every bit of awesomeness from the 80's, Max Headroom, Trapper Keepers, Pac Man, Member's Only jackets ( ) and The Empire Strikes Back etc, there is the dark side: Shoulder pads, parachute pants, Menudo, New COKE, Return of the Jedi, and the mullet.

The 80's. A great place to reminisce, but let's blow through this as quickly as possible.

G.I.Joes, Tranformers, and Cabbage Patch Dolls were nice, but where would we be without UAKM, PD, & Overseer, all 90's releases?

Since our percents will be beginning to correspond with Access Software's history in a couple days, perhaps we can start devoting each percent to a moment in history.

84 - Ollie's Follies

Well I was born in 1985...
But I still love many things from the 80s since they were repeated in the 90s. I like that the Back to the Future trilogy started the year I was born!

Careful... we're not there yet! Eeeeee...

Holy cow! I just realized that Beach Head is an Access game. I used to play this on my C64 all the time growing up. I never knew Access made it.

No pride here. Just looking at the numbers. And I must say, pessimism and excessive worry has surely killed more dreams than optimism.

LOL, nice thread subject Jen!

My son was born in 89.

I feel old.

Wow, memories here! Beach Head! I also didn't realize it was Access until it was mentioned here, and of course I can now picture the opening title screen. RIP Bruce Carver.
