Found my old comic stash...and on the back of one, was an ad for AD&D on the Intellivision.

We have come just a little ways...wouldn't you say?

Makes me wonder where we will be going in the future

I remember reading a comic when I was a kid that had scenes from...Bonk? An old Atari side-scroller action game, and at the time, thinking how good it looked.

I found the comic recently and chuckled, thinking the very same thing as you..

Just go back and think about how silly if someone said in the future you'll be able to get games from your phone line to your console and play against people while talking to others on other games.

Obviously we'd have to go back quite far, pre Dreamcast.

Thanks to GOG, I've got the old AD&D Goldbox games, still oldies but goodies after all these years.

When I preordered my Galaxy S7 Edge phone, it came with a free Samsung Gear VR headset. I've spent a bit of time with it, and I think that sort of tech may very well be the future.
