GamezRanker, just now I've decided to withdraw from the giveaway. So you can remove my name from your first post, thanks. Nonetheless, I was just happy to be able to share my story to not only you, but also other users who chose to read it. :)

Good luck to all the participants!

Realizing that I can use and enjoy an electric scooter, like xiaomi m365, because of my health I can't use a car/bus to go on big distance...

Update: every entry and reply processed so far....thanks to all for entering and/or sharing with us here so far. The deadline is still a ways off, so keep them entries coming. :)
======================================================

I hear ya.

That said, given enough time and effort(and some luck as well, maybe) many things are possible. :)

-

If I may ask: catacombs/crypts like the ones in Paris, or mines/commercial ruins like in other places?

That's good to hear. :)

-

I hope everything's ok?

That said, done and done, and thanks for sharing with us. :)

-

I hear ya.....bigger distances can be a pain/chore to traverse for some of us.

Btw: did you mean they bought a FARM out of a catalog??? If so, then wow.

What he bought from Sears was the house, it came to them in iowa, in pieces, and he put it together on the farmland that they had bought or been given, I'm not sure of the details of that... Sears used to be like Amazon, the biggest game in town if you wanted to buy... anything... and you really could buy almost anything from them. Now that I think about it, they were also a lot like Ikea, since he had to build the thing from instructions, on his own (or I assume, with other people helping, but I was never clear on the details.)

Actually it was a citadel/palace where the lord of the land used to abide. There are large gardens inside as well, all enclosed by its own ramparts and towers. It was open all day and visitors could free roam. The restrictions were less than those nowadays, and also they were easier to bypass by determined children.

It was said that there were tunnels, but few people knew the truth of it. At least one that led to the nearby temple (which has its own rich history as well), used mostly to attend discreetly. The other one was supossed to go towards the river, in order to possibly complement the water from the wells inside the citadel, and also to allow for discreet exits. It was said also that more tunnels for other discreet exits could exist. This happened to be true.

Do you remember the long summers of childhood? That summer we were feeling curious about the place and getting to know its nooks and hidden spaces. I think that we were lucky since the wood structures that completely blocked the access to a part of the palace portion of the citadel were removed. That allowed for exploration. Maybe in winter the tunnels could have been damp, but in summer they were just cool and actually comfortable. It was very nice to find the truth behind the legend. However, it became apparent that the reason for removing the wooden structures (think wooden walls) was that they were going to block the entrance to the tunnels with brick and mortar., as the works started some weeks later after our discovery. By the end of the summer, no one could ever enter those tunnels anymore, and people would not even figure out where the entrances actually were (they did a good job). I guess that the famous tunnels slipped back into the realm of legend again.

Nice giveaway I would like to join in.

What is one good memory/moment you can recall involving yourself and/or family/friends over the last 1-2 years?
Grill party at riverside. Grill is so good especially if you can enjoy the landscape with family.

@GamezRanker

Yep. You got it. Just seeing that cover brings back memories.

Thanks for this giveaway GamezRanker! I want to participate.
I have a good memory from my childhood, when I went to the cyber café with my friends, we spend all our allowance in one day playing Sven Co-op, we finished almost all the maps availables, my mother beat up my ass when I arrived hope for being absent all day without and spend all my money, but it worth it XD

Thank you GamezRanker for another giveaway. I'm happy to participate.

As for good recent memory:
There were some uncertainties in our family related to health conditions in recent times. Thank god everything is good now. Being able to have a nice walk in nice weather after uncertain times was really a happy moment for us. Currently we're in strict lockdown :)

All entrants processed and all posts read till this point. Thanks to everyone who has replied/entered, and to those who will do so in the future.....y'all have made this a very fun contest yet again. :)

Anyhoo, the contest is still open, and I will check for new entries in a half day or so. Until then: ciao
========================================================

Oh that's what you meant.....I thought he bought the entire farm(like pre built, land and buildings and all) out of a catalog. :D

(also thanks for the explanation :))

-

That all sounds pretty cool, tbh.

This, however, sucks....I mean don't those people who blocked it up & those who ordered it to be done care about preserving history? :|

Still, you had some fun and explored part of history....which makes it an even more fun memory imo. :)

-

Yup, that it is.

Also yer now entered, so good luck to ya.

-

Nice to hear. :)

-

Sven? Isn't that a Half Life mod/etc? Ever play some of the SP fan mods as well, then(like They Hunger and Poke646)? :D

-

I hope the health conditions weren't anything serious. That said, I hope y'all are able to roam free once again asap. :)

Yes, the one and only Sven. Also played the two you mentioned, both are great games, specially They Hunger, also recently played Half Life Echoes, a short but sweet expansion-like mod. Another game I play all the time in that era was Quake 3 Arena, and Call of Duty, I spent all my money in the cyber XD
In that time was an avid players of multiplayers now I barely touch any MP game! :(

Thanks for the recommendation.

Btw, ever play the game made with the same engine/etc called Gunman Chronicles?

Wasn't much into Q3, as I didn't like how they didn't include a SP portion, but COD was fun to play.

I hear ya.

The most exciting thing I can remember from my childhood is my first time going to a movie theater. It was on Sunday afternoon and I went with my dad. We had caramel popcorn and pepsi, it was a luxury for a child, like many other fast food at that time. I think I enjoyed the food more than the movie.

And the first widescreen movie that I saw, was........... CAPTAIN AMERICA.
But not the one released in 2011, it was THIS ONE! The Original Captain America, or so I thought (I prefer Chris Evans.)

Count me in for the giveaway. Thank you GamezRanker.

I used to do the same thing long ago with family...such fun times :)
(of course after awhile we started bringing our own snacks, as the theater had limited selection & was pricey[back then it was like 4 US dollars for a large soda and the same for popcorn....it's likely much more now])

Nice :)
One of my memories is going to see the film Galaxy Quest on release day(Dec 24th) as a young lad.....it was snowing and my parents didn't want to drive me at first but eventually they gave in(and i'm glad they did as it's one of my most cherished memories of the cinema).

And yer entered.....best of luck to ya. :)

Sidenote to all:

I vaguely remember that movie. The theaters were giving out trading cards. I remember feeling excited and disappointed. Maybe because the classic Red Skull only had a short screen time.
