The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
1. Think of a user name and a tagline to go with it.
2. Delete the cookie for your normal sign up if you have selected "remember me". You can sign up your new name either by scrolling down the left side strip to REGISTER WITH US - DISCUSSIONS, or by signing up as a newbie as you make your first "reply" post.
3. Sign up as a new user, giving your proper name and address. You DON'T need to give your real e-mail address, as I think this has to be unique. But if you want an extra e-mail address you can always sign up for one at Freeola.
4. Come here and write a post under your new virtual newbie name. The post must display your virtual newbie's character and personality.
The winner will be the post which displays the most original character. This character may be adopted for the forums, so make him/her likeable and not horrible.
You can enter as many times as you like.
You can make several entries under the same virtual newbie name.
You can try to guess who are the real regulars behind the virtual newbies.
The competition will be judged at the end of September.
(it occurs to me that I could enter this myself)
Course, we didn't have computer games back in my youth, but it's nice to see everyone together and having nice, clean fun.
Would you like a biscuit dear?
It's this awful icy weather, makes it ever so slippery.
Of course, in my day we had to worry about bomb craters more than not being able to stand up.
Mind you, it was a lovely spirit amongst the people.
We all came together and lived in the tube tunnels.
Not like now, people live there but they seem to want spare change instead of some tea.
Here,have a biscuit and things will feel better.
Like when I was a nipper, we used to scamper about enjoying all manner of scrapes and japes, much like Enid Blyton's wonderful books about The Famous Five.
Shame but kids these days don't seem to want to read about 5 pre-teens solving mysteries.
It's all "Nintendo this" and "PC that", makes my head hurt sometimes but I just take my dog for a walk on the common and chat with my friend Nora.
Here, have a biscuit and wrap up warm, it's turning chill later on.
Take care.
