This was right about the time the movie Mazes & Monsters (I forgot to use my sonar) hit the after school special and my Aunt just happened to have it recorded. She made my parents watch it and just kept telling them about the "evils" of the game. Soon after my parents made me sit down and watch the movie (I bet Tom Hanks wishes he could take that one back) and talked with me. Well actually they asked if I was still comfortable playing the game after watching the movie...I replied "uh yeah. That movie was stupid." MY dad shrugged and said "okay we trust you" and then told my Aunt to mind her own business. I knew of all the hoopla surrounding the game and I thought that my parents were going to make me quit, but nope, not even when my aunt threatened to tell our church that I played. my Dad just said, "well they can mind their own busniess too then. I trust my son, he can make his own decisions." (I was about 10 and this just proved to me that my mom and dad were the coolest people on the earth). I have met several people who woudln't be my friend because I played or would keep it a secret from their parents or relatives but luckily I have been able to enjoy it for a long time.</p></blockquote><p></p>
