Do you play any old school adventure games like King’s Quest?

I did mess around with a pre-Zork ASCII/text based game that came on a floppy labelled Wizard and ran on our Windows 3.1, but I never got much past confronting the vampire. Haven’t been able to find any hint of it online.

Have you guys ever played a game like Paintball, Airsoft or similar? How was your experience on them? Did you enjoy it?

I’ve always worked in the kinds of places where we never turned on the lights and everyone had dart guns in their desks for shooting at each other through doorways or around corners. When you got hit by someone’s dart, your job - YOUR JOB - was to return it. Preferably through an open window when they are talking to a client or being scolded by the boss.

The CEO also carried a dart gun. Annual parties were more like annual hunts. But with alcohol.
Then THE CLUD appeared. THE CLUD was a ball of rubber bands itself tied with rubber bands so it could be projected at high volume and low altitude over an entire row of cubes or down a long hallway, with one bounce off the half opened door into the middle of whatever conference was happening in that room.
ALL PRAISE THE CLUD
You’d be typing or soldering something, and you’d hear the TWACK of it being launched … the low whine of it passing just over head, and then the wet smack of someone taking it in the side of the head. Coffee cups, keyboards, and people cascading like dominoes into a pile.
So, I never actually played paintball or its like. But I am familiar with the concept of having to do duck glances and alt moves IRL to try to get to the next meeting.
This was back in the old school days, so our toy guns looked as much like real pistols as possible, and used the suction cup style darts. Mine was like this - but with lead weights in the handle to give it some heft, and the internal mechanism was replaced with a proper spring and a metal trigger mechanism inside a metal sleeve so it had some kick.
One of my favorite tricks was a hole in my coat pocket just big enough for the tip, so I could flip open my coat, and snipe people while walking by them.
Our names were written on the darts though, so everyone always knew who to ‘give’ it back to.
It was a lot of fun and somehow we only had trouble with the night security once. And the police department because night security NOPEd out of it as soon as they saw people ducking behind overturned tables. Something that might have been SWAT but they didn’t have the cool black van. And the fire department. Hook and ladder truck - even though the building only had one floor. Etc, etc. That was a very educational evening. We learned a lot about police procedure that night.
