Hi, Quinten. I could not agree more about this. There does come a time when a person must stand up and act like a man or woman, and say look I am this age and let me make up my own mind. If the parent involved does not like it. Tuff luck! As for buying games there are several accessible games I would like to have. GMA Tank Commander being one of them. However, I save for those titles and spend the money as I can. I have lived this long without it, and I am sure I can wait longer.
