Clearly, Razor Coast is a serious concern if even the gamers, authors and editors who came near it almost fell to the sword in real life. Someone alert the media! It's time gaming scared our parents again!
Signed, the guy who wrote the first summary for Mazes and Monsters on IMDB back when that site was still in diapers. Was I the only person on Earth who only wanted to game more after seeing that cautionary propaganda? Surveys suggest quite possibly. |
Heh. In 1982 I was a sophomore in high school, and had been gaming for about five years :D. Devil-worshiping propaganda not-withstanding, I kept right on truckin'!

In 1982 I was also a sophomore in HS and had been gaming for 3 years. The movie and associated "panic" was pretty bad in the very conservative small town in suburban Atlanta I grew up in. The school closed the D&D club and the local bookstore that had been carrying D&D stuff, and ordering in whatever else we asked for, stopped. One day during school several of us who were known to still be playing were called in to speak to a "counselor" who turned out to a local preacher who wanted to save our "souls" and shove the Chick Tract on us. I thought it was pretty funny but a lot of my friends couldn't take the pressure from parents and their churches and quit playing.

That would make me one happy camper!!

At least for me 12 was too young for girls and jobs but too old for toys so it was ideal age to pick up gaming. |
There's a few of us in out 30s also but i'm spending more and time with the retirees also ;)
