    Video games based in the golden era

    I will have to check out Borrowed Time. Thanks for suggesting it. If you like Deja Vu, there's also Deja Vu 2: Lost in Las Vegas. It's a DOS game, and can be downloaded at Home of the Underdogs. Home of the Underdogs appears to be a legal website for old, abandoned software, though, I'm not...

    Video games based in the golden era

    To quote Wikipedia, "Déjà Vu is a 'point-and-click' adventure game set in the world of 1940s hard-boiled detective novels and movies. It was released in 1985 for Macintosh – the first in the MacVenture series – and later ported to several other systems." I wouldn't read anymore on Wiki...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    G-Men (1935) was the last movie I watched, and the original Twilight Zone from the 1960's was the last television series I watched. I plan on putting in some more James Cagney later today.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello and good day. I stumbled onto this thread while looking around the forum, and figured that I would formally introduce myself. My name is Russell; Russ for short. I do a lot of research into the 20th century, and just history in general, though, mostly the 1900's. I study pretty much...

    Mobster Movies

    Here's a long list of old gangster movies from 1930 to 1949. I've watched some of these, but a lot of them I haven't gotten around to yet. I got three box sets of Warner Bros. gangster flicks, volumes one through three, and I'm still making my way through them. That's where all of these titles...

    Indian motorcycles Comeback

    I've always liked the Indian Scout 101, and the brand in general. It would be nice to see the Indian brand revived. I've never been a big fan of modern motorcycles, so I hope the styles they incorporate are reminiscence of the old bikes.

    The fall of the phone

    Ah, that's unfortunate. The phone company I use is a digital phone network. I guess I could use a pocket tone-dialer, but then I wouldn't actually be able to rotate the dial, which was what I was hoping for. Thank you for the information. It has been helpful.

    The fall of the phone

    I don't ever use a phone. I never know what to say when on one. The only time I've ever used a phone is to answer it for someone else. Someone bought me a cell phone once, but I never used it and never bothered to carry it around. I just didn't have any use for it, and I find the idea of someone...

    Video games based in the golden era

    Are you sure that they're not releasing the game? It looks like it's slotted for 2010, and it supposedly has been officially confirmed for the Playstation 3, with a likely release on the XBox360. I just looked it up, and watched that trailer you linked. It looks pretty awesome, and I'll be...
