I wasted so much money on these games!! Coulda spent it on beer!!!!!!

Woodstock · 07-06-2008, 05:00 PM

Let me try to explain why I am here in the most basic of life's motivators for myself without giving away exactly who I am:

My family still owns a farm whose original deed was signed by President Van Buren in the 1830's. I must protect this and pass it on to future generations of my family, no alternatives to this idea can exist! The farm is on a lake, so that helps, on our farm the soy beans and/or corn may grow up with a lakefront view

I first programmed on an Apple II around 1980. In my first programming class, the first computer programming class that the school district ever offered, I programmed a perpetual calendar and started programming a Connect 4 AI game which unfortunately I didn't finish

I have worked for 2 of the Big 4 accounting firms, my computer knowledge greatly benefited my numbers-guy-who-knew-computers career which included being Controller of a $100 million annual sales division of a NYSE company.

I am currently investigating future investment opportunities on the internet, I think this is the way to go for the future, to say the least, and I enjoy games. Both for fun, and more recently for profit, I have developed a couple arcades, I also have a couple more planned. So here I am. I'm not looking to make a million overnight, but over the long haul, well YEAH!!!!! It might not be in arcades that I earn the big bucks, it is truly a tough niche, but this niche seems a good and fun place to learn the ropes.

I am around, looking for some link exchanges.

So high all,

Tom

I am sorry, I didn't want to make this sound like a spam message of someone looking for links. I am actually very picky about the sites that I link to and that I want linking to me. It was really just intended as a "Hi", with some explanation about why I think I know something about what I am talking.

Damn, I have been shy since kindergarten, and I still am. I am hesitant to post my sites here as I truly picky about the sites I will link to.

I really just wanted to say hi, I know something about business and I hope I can contribute knowledgeably to the discussions here. OK, I have to admit that I think you have some decent creds,

I guarantee 100% that they are honest.

Heh I understand, I dont think anyone here would take it personally if the exchange didnt meet what you were looking for though.

Yasgur's, eh? Well that's a nice parcel, lots of sentimental value there. Ah, Hendrix.

Apple ][+ was my first box also. Actually I was writing code for a TRS-80 on graph paper before that, but I didn't actually have access to one, just eager to get started (programming video games).

Have fun, keep us posted on your projects...

No problem at all, most likely I would have rejected the offered links unless they met my criteria anyway

Also if in the future you may be interested please PM me and you do not have to send publicly on the forums.

Hope you enjoy your stay here and find some information to get your arcades moving along
