I remember when I just couldn’t wait to go to the computer lab at elementary school.  To me, it was better than a field trip.  You didn’t have to remember to bring your parents permission slip.  You didn’t have to take a long bus ride to a destination.  You just walked in a single file line, as quiet as you can, from the classroom to the computer lab.

Once in the computer lab, I remember always wanting to play this game.  It was so fun to me.  I don’t know why it was.  Now, as I play it on my Mac, which is WAY more advanced than an Apple II, I still don’t understand why it’s fun.

I love nostalgia.
