Though I'm guessing it hasn't aged well.

It holds up - I watched it again a few months ago. If you were fond of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace it's just as good now as it was in 1981.

I only saw it once, summer of 1981, just a few days before my 18th birthday, at the Winchester Drive-in in Campbell California. Me and a buddy, a 12 pack of beer, and a hit of acid each. Good times.

Never heard of Dragon's Lair or Space Ace.

Edit: oh, the laser disk games of the 80's. I didn't care for the laser disk games.

The same way a lot of humans do. Make a whole bunch of noise complaining and warning about things that aren't actually there.

I'm still in my rental, it has some amusing nanny systems, brakes when it thinks that I am going to hit something. If I take a corner too quickly, the dash freaks out and does funny things to the gas and brake pedal.. and why am I still in a rental? Mircochip shortage!! It's for real!

I had a friend from Alabama. He had a saying, "Alabama: 49th in pretty much everything, but thank God for Mississippi!"

Let's not confuse education with being smart but even then Florida seems ...

i've always found it ironic about how if there's a video of a college student doing something dumb, it's entirely normal, the reaction is "stupid college kid". but that person generally graduated within 4 years, and is now considered 'educated', and 'intelligent' by the worlds standards... it's always amazed me how a $30k/year piece of paper at the end of a 4 year payment plan can spontaneously flip the biggest idiots into someone the world demands i respect for their intelligence.

Don't get me started!
My new-ish Suzuki:
Before remembering to turning off systems I had this crazy example: two lanes of traffic turning right at stop lights. (Remember this is driving on the lhs of road.) Me in left lane turning right. Cars in right lane turning right. Suzuki freaking out because I've got indicator on turning right but there are cars in the right hand lane. Ffs.
