Guest Mirage2k Posted August 1, 2000 Share Posted August 1, 2000 I remember spending countless hours of addiction on Lode Runner on my black-and-white Mac, which first got me interested in computer games in the first place. Thanks, Raymond. -Andrew ------------------ Throw me a frickin' smiley, people! Your one-stop-shop for gaming news is www.SiegersPost.com ! Hit it!

Disaster@work Posted August 1, 2000 Author Share Posted August 1, 2000 I forgot to mention that there was no mention at all on the Learning Company's site about his death. The Learning Company is what Broderbund has become. Of course, it's now a largish corporation itself owned by Mattel. I pestered the webmaster for some mention of it. If you look at their front page they still are selling Carmen San Diego products. I wonder if Gene Portwood got royalties out of it?? http://www.learningcompany.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
