There is a new Monkey Island game on the horizon and this got me thinking. Years ago I was a member on a Glasgow BBS, just like Digital Worldz today, it was a forum for sharing ideas, tips and gossip.
I had just bought Monkey Island III and one of my mates on the BBS had asked if he could borrow it to make a backup. He asked if he could get a loan of it before the upcoming Saturday, so I dropped it off to him on the Friday.
Saturday came and went and the fella didn't log onto the BBS, this was very unusual for him as he would normally log on 3 or 4 times a day.
I left it a week and dialled his home number to see if everything was ok but I only got the 'unobtainable tone' meaning the line was dead.
I made a post on the BBS to see if anyone knew what had happened and someone replied and told me that the fooker with my game had EMIGRATED TO AMERICA the day after I had given him my game!
He stood there chatting to me knowing full well that he was leaving the country and that my £40 PC game was going with him.
lol
Dirty thieving bastard!
