Oregon Trail was the first computer game I ever played. Next was the Lemmings and Silent Service. Oregon Trail will always have a special place in my heart!

That's what gets me. It's not that Tom's might be unsafe, it's that I have to unblock ten things to get the one thing I want to work. In doing so, I'm probably unblocking the things I don't want to, like the ads, which could put trackers or whatnot on my browser.

It's not that Tom's is unsafe, but you can't guarentee that the rest of the sites running scripts are safe.

The one that really get's me is google analytics. Its on EVERY website out there.

I think you get better at knowing which scripts to allow as you go... I allowed 2 of 17 on there to see the content I wanted. Google analytics can diaf every time though.

65 million copies sold and it's not even on the list?





It doesn't count if 64.9 million were purchased by elementary schools.

I was surprised to see Riven on that list. Not saying it wasn't a good game but I did not anticipate it having that high of sells

Wasn't that the sequel to Myst? It might have sold based on expectations.
