So, I was digging in my mom's attic...

And found the instruction manual for my first game console and the first game I got with it. I'm not sure if it is the first video game representation of D&D, but it is early.

...when you realized you were actually in her basement??



I couldn't resist!

Yeah, There was a AD&D before Treasure of Tarmin on the Intellivision.... It was just called "AD&D" as I recall....

Interesting to see our very own Beloved DDO listed as one of the best D&D games of all time

Nope, have my own basement now. Had to go help her for a few days after she has surgery...Couldn't resist going up into the attic to see what relics of mine are up there. Found an old box of G.I. Joes, my Intellivision and the instruction manual for AD&D ToT, and my first skateboard (an old Nash). It was one hell of a trip down memory lane.

I always thought the no pictures dnd all text was the first. "> you awaken in a room, it's dark do you GO NORTH, GO WEST, SEARCH ROOM?"

Also, I spend most of my time digging around in ur mom's downstairs if u know what I mean. HEY-O!!! High fives?

Awesome. I'm a classic game nerd. Never had an Intellivision, though. Favorites for it personally were Astrosmash, Shark! Shark! and their port of Dragonfire.

I laughed till I cried when I read that part of that article referring to DDO. I Quote the last line here:

"No sir, if you want heals, you'll have to learn how to make nice with other people, and it's that social element that's probably keeping DDO from being as big as a success as its offline cousins."

It is clear this author has NEVER EVER played any MMO, much less DDO. The way he describes it, it sounds like his source of information is second hand and probably form his 10 year old neighbor.

I had an Alva deck, California Slalom trucks, and Kryptonic Blue wheels. I also remember the gloves I wore. I think they were called something like "Rector Palm Pads" or some such.
