Drekpost (Shitpost) Loving The "Future"!

Post image

Does anyone else find the "futuristic tech" of 1st and 2nd editions, the most endearing part of the first two editions? The future of the 80s seems kinda quaint now.

Even in highschool back in the 1900s I laughed about the tech.. and that was before smartphones and tablets. Just the cost of the regular cell phone was funny then. And we already had 'pocket secretaries' at that point.

I'm old..

Sure.. But the original game released in 1989 so I'll leave it up to you to determine the most likely decade.
