Tail Gunner

When things got dull at the Minnesota Daily or lunch rolled around, a very popular way for the FFG to pass the time was to play Tail Gunner, the addictive video game on display either at Big Mike's Sub Shop or the Improper Fraction (a little help here). Not so much skill was required as was the ability to hit a button 500 times a minute.

CRAIG ASKS: What was the game you and Jeff loved to play down at the Improper Fraction, the one where that was basically a box in the center of the screen that shot "laser rays" from each of its four sides at attacking somethings? Space Zap?

BRUCE ANSWERS: Space Zap sounds right! In fact, I think that was the video game where all you needed was the nervous system of a humming bird.
