Let's get down to brass tacks and nutbolts here folks...... you kids these days with your Grand Theft Ottos and Minecraft and you think everything is handed to you on a sliver plate.....well back in my day or actually in my dad's day I guess, we didn't have candy crush or elf bowling....we had ROGUE LIKES and the greatest and BEST KNOWN OF THEM ALL WAS UMORIA.

Umoria is a household name today well remembered as the grandfather of modern gaming....along with games such as PAC-MAN and PAPER-BOY.

Here is another let's play video of UMORIA to give you a "taste"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muKJbnw3vWg

Let's all share out favorite UMORIA moments and relive some of the excitement and lets also watch all 300 of this man's videos about UMORIA, here is his channel:

Atari 2600. You had swords, dragons, goblets, and high adventure. You are a 9px square.

You see, but you do not observe.

Sounds like you grew up with only bad games available and are trying to justify some nostalgia for what is, honestly, crap, in the face of new amazing stuff like those Call of duty games (which I bet you "don't get")

Being old sucks

I'm not sure which I played first but it was either Moria or Gorillas as my first video game. I never beat Moria but I did beat Angband a couple of times with kobold priests.
