Game On
I have to tell you that along with other gaming addictions I have mentioned here before, backgammon is probably one of the worst. I have spent more hours than I’d like to admit playing backgammon online.
I guess I like that playing backgammon really does require a certain level of intelligence. Unlike solitaire, which I also play way more often than I should, in order to outwit your opponent you have to plan ahead. You also have to be willing to take some risks. Anyway, I write all that to say that Backgammon is a lot bigger than I thought it was. Evidently, there is worldwide interest in playing some serious backgammon - an oonline backgammon gaming company is now even focusing its attention in Latin America.
So if you find yourself bored at work just log in and you could end up playing backgammon against someone who speaks a different language and is in another part of the world. Like I need any kind of excuse to play backgammon. Hey, maybe the secret to world peace is in backgammon! Everyone can speak backgammon and it can unite us one and all……okay, sorry. I couldn’t resist. I realize I’m really reaching here.
I need to go back and find all my posts with links to random games on the internet so those of you who have misplaced them can once again be fulfilled. Remember the egg basket game? Geez! I wish I could find that silly link. It was my favorite, followed closely by the helicopter game. Maybe I better not go linking for any of those links. It’s not like I have any extra time on my hands these days.
Speaking of games, I sure wish I could find a good online version of Q-bert. Do you remember Q-bert? We used to play it on our Atari. Man, those were the good ole days, weren’t they? Pole Position was another favorite. Ahhh….the eighties. I think if I ever win the lottery one of the things I’m going to do is throw an amazing eighties party. Complete with parachute pants, Atari games, Cyndi Lauper songs and reruns of Different Strokes. I might even have to serve YooHoo and Poprocks.
Ah, I’m digressing! Back to the backgammon thing. Check out this press release:
