Just thought I'd share this tidbit...
Last night, we were playing with a video game we'd just bought, which
has the original version of Pac-Man, along with other old arcade
games. (Remember, the ones before blood would spill all over the
screen, and only required one button and the joystick...but I
digress...)
Anyway, one game is called Bosconian, and you fly around in your
spaceship and try to destroy space stations. In the meantime, other
ships try to shoot you, etc.
At random points in the game, you are attacked by a group of enemy
ships in formation. Their impending appearance would be announced on
the screen, with sound effects to indicate that this would be Very
Bad For You.
So, the six or so ships attack in formation. You turn to fire at
them. You hit one of them. The rest run away. Every time. No kidding-
that was the extent of the *danger*.
My husband's comment?
"Those ships must be flown by Death Eaters."
Kind of says it all, IMHO...
