Oh yes, I played it in high school on my TI-83+. That was back when I
was a 14-year-old idiot with some pretty screwed up ambitions.

I've grown up since then. I'd say I'm a tea-totaller, now - but I
don't drink anything with caffeine.

By the way, I don't dislike the violence so much as the drug content.
Violence happens, and I of the thinking that violence is "human
nature." I consider drugs much more distasteful/inappropriate than
violence.

And maybe I went to far with the "no respect" bit - but I do
automatically draw some conclusions about a an adult who plays this
sort of game. I can't help it.
