Everything about this post screams spam.  You might want to surround your
links with something useful if you hope people will follow them.

I didn't look at it because it looked like junk to me too.

Now that I have looked at it I'm wondering, why did you post that?

===

While we are at it, what or when is vintage?

Is it, "I remember when ..."

Or "I was going through some stuff my partner asked me to tidy up and I 
found ..."

The charter just says "older"

There is a formal definition, isn’t there, of “vintage” and “veteran”
*cars* (which I’m too lazy to look up)? I guess most people’s working
definition is, “I can’t throw that away, that’s vintage, that is”.

Now I’ve looked at it too, it is of some interest on this NG. “Oregon
Trail” was a classic early game, classic in the sense of “however did we
ever enjoy playing that?”. You can find “Oregon Trail” gameplay on
YouTube, and you’ll see what I mean.

I never saw the original post, so it looks as though the NIN news server
also concluded - rightly or wrongly - that it was spam.
