Anyone remember those CreateaCard machines from the early 90's? This thing literally drew greet cards using pens. I remember the thing was the size of an arcade machine. Couldn't find any pictures, only an article from 1993: http://articles.mcall.com/1993-01-18...ka-card-fronts

I was in University when Wolfenstein 3D came out, and I didn't have a computer to play it on, so never really got into it.
But the original game on the Apple IIe was magical. It was the first video game we ever bought. I think it was around $65 or something. It was also the first time I ever felt fear playing a game. The controls were crazy - 8 keys to control movement, and 8 keys to control where you point your gun (my brother and I used play together - one would move, the other would shoot). Oh, and I think you only had 6 bullets since you couldn't carry more bullets than the gun could hold. Every shot had to count.
The worst was fleeing a room that had too many soldiers in it - their footsteps making a loud click click click" sound - and going back to a room where you had previously killed all the soldiers. Their dead bodies still lay in heaps, and the room was eerily silent.
I'd start to enjoy the silence, and as I began to work up the nerve to re-enter the soldier-filled room an SS would enter the room shouting "Halt! SS!" and I'd just about hit the ceiling.
