Elite

Gotta plug Elite. Originally played in 1984, playing again now. Although it's not a one-person show, the original developer is still involved.

Mario is pretty much the only other game with a similar length pedigree I can think of.

Built it with lego

A while back I built a similar contraption out of lego to light up my (kids) lego city. Two big lego wheels with a drop of about a meter lit two LEDs for about 30 seconds, it took slightly longer to wind the mechanism back up. The lego motors were efficient enough that connecting two together allowed me to power a windmill somewhere across the table.

Unhappy

training

It was only 10 years ago when I started my current position. Mandatory training at the time included a 3 hour session on using email (lotus notes). The first hour of that was devoted to using the mouse!

On the day the training lab configuration was broken, not surprisingly the trainer had no clue. I started the session by fixing the network configuration then I still had to sit through the email tutorial.

Things have advanced since then, the email training is now a 1 hour on-line course.
