Why is it that nobody here, not even in response to a name-the-game
thread, says "it's definitely not Stonkers" anymore?

Is it being left to the WoS forums to preserve this ancient tradition?

It is the central area around which the ancient WoS civilization
developed.

They were an enlightened race for the time though.
After all, use of a c64 was punishable by torture, death, the death of your
family, the destruction of your home and rude things being written about you
on the toilet walls...

And yet the c64 users persisted.  Even to this day they have a place in the
Guinness Book of World Records much to the shame of the ancient WoS
civilization, the tribe of ZX81 in particular.

The C64 is King.  Long live The King!
