[vcf-midatlantic] Old Video Game Advertisements

[Christian Liendo]

I kind of feel the opposite way but two people can look at a painting
and have different perspectives.

When I brought a bunch of SGIs to VCF and networked them and played
BZFLAG and Dogfight, I got flack for that.

I kept explaining how things like this were huge at the time, but nope.

And if you noticed. I never demoed again... ever..

Now I go. I watch, I volunteer and clean up. But I don't really want to demo.
