And the TI-99 4A too--*great* stuff! I spent weeks trying to survive
the Hurricane in Savage Island I (but part II was just weird--there
was absolutely no indication of what you had to do). The voodoo
curse in Monte Cristo, the pirate adventure ("Yoho")... and of course,
a pyramid filled with mummies, purple worms, and dead explorers (what
adventure series would be complete without one?). There was also one
called either Lionheart or Ironheart--has anyone heard of this or,
better yet, solved it? I was playing that up until the day my TI
went to the great bit bucket in the sky, and for nostalgia's sake
would finally like to know the damn solution!

Time warp back to reality...

Men who love brown tend to be warm and deep, sensitive to the needs and
desires of their partners. Sex is a 24 hour a day thing. Snuggling by
the fire, walking in the rain or catching snowflakes on their tongue is
a real turn-on to a lover of brown. (thanx becka!)
