This is a question How nerdy are you?

This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.

So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?

As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.

Revel in your own nerdiness.

Chuckie Egg
I played Chuckie Egg for 6 hours straight. I had to be physically torn away from the keyboard.

I had so many lives they went off the screen, and my score was so massive I'm surprised the BBC micro model B could cope with it.

Nobody could beat me at chuckie egg, nobody.

Me too
I managed to get it to having two ducks out of the cage!!

This was on a Dragon 32. I have played it since and I'm amazed that I could ever do that.

easy
could have beaten you easily.

I could - and this is true - complete the first round (8 levels) with my eyes shut.

Chuckie Egg
I remember on the spectrum version it was possible to jump into the cage when the bird was out and your score would go mental.

You could do something similar with Horace Goes Skiing by 'not quite' eating one of the fruits.

I need a pint.
