		At the 1976 Games, again held in Innsbruck, American Dorothy Hamill won the women’s figure skating gold medal and John Curry became the first British man to win the men’s skating title.
		The issue that prompted the 1980 boycott of the Moscow Games was the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR.
		Once Carter acted to spoil the Moscow Games (as a total of 62 nations finally refused to participate), it became clear that the USSR and its allies would retaliate with a boycott of the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.

		For the 1979 Pan American Games, the U.S. was paced by its front court of Curry, Walker and Lieberman.

	War Games: Hacking in the 1980's
		You would ask, 'Why can't the game do this?' 'Why can't it have that feature?' And since this was a computer, for the first time in your life you would have the power to change this into that" (313).
		The games Space Invaders and Pacman had been introduced onto the marketplace in 1979; such games as "Zork" and "Sim City" would follow.
		Computers and technology were always changing and new software and computer games were hot commodities; hacking came to represent a form of rebellion that could not be easily curtailed because it could not be easily charted, or unlearned.

	The Year in American Soccer - 1979

		The Pan-American Games were held in the summer, and the NASL offered no cooperation; the coach was forced to field the youngest team of the tournament (average age 20), consisting mostly of the Youth Team.
		Since this game was in the middle of the NASL season, the team once again made to make do with whatever players the league made available, With only three days preparation, they were no match for France who shut them out 6-0.

		At least the same one was used in 1979 on VIII games held in Split, Croatia (then in Yugoslavia), as could be seen on 1979 Yugoslav post stamps, but probably the emblem (and flag) is older.
		Then the flag of the country of the city chosen to organize next Mediterranean Games is hoisted on the mast on the left of the central mast while its national anthem resounds.
		After the closing speech of the President of the C.I.J.M., the flag of the C.I.J.M. is slowly lowered from the mast of honor to the accents of a cantata and is horizontally carried away from the arena.

	Ultimate Games - 1979 World Series Game Seven
		Eddie Murray, the second-best hitter on the team, was (shockingly) already in his third full season at the tender age of 23, but he wasn't yet the player who would terrify AL pitchers all throughout the Eighties.
		For the first game in Baltimore the temperature was in the thirties, and it had snowed most of the morning.
		The second, rain-delayed, game, was a Jim Palmer gem, and Eddie Murray's home-run and RBI double were nearly enough to make Palmer's efforts stand up.

	Role-Playing Computer Games
		The response to Akalabeth was enthusiastic enough to warrant a follow-up; code from that game laid the groundwork for Ultima I, first in a series of computer role-playing games that's still popular today.
		Still these games were not what you would call "immersive." While SSI was having their run of popular fantasy role-playing games, a largely unknown developer created a game that would alter the face of computer fantasy role-playing forever.
		In 1979 it was natural for Richard Garriot to build a program that would allow you to play role-playing games without any friends or a Dungeon Master.

		Games continued to be designed for all three systems throughout the 1980s, though sales were poor due to the rise of more advanced alternatives such as the NES, Sega Master System, and the Commodore 64 computer.

		The Intellivision is famous in my mind for striving to be educational and appeal to a higher intelligence than many other systems.
		This may not be true, it's just the feeling I get from their line-up of games and memories of the actual system.
		The Intellivision did have quite a few innovations though, including the "Intellivoice" peripheral that allowed certain games to speak (horribly, but speak none-the-less).

	Amazon.com: Head Games: Music: Foreigner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With their third album, 1979's "Head Games," and with new bassist Rick Wills onboard, Foreigner responded to their critics who claimed that the band's first pair of albums sounded too "polished" by getting tougher.
		"Head Games" is easily the most hard-edged, guitar-heavy album in the band's catalog, but, thankfully, the band didn't completely abandon their keyboards, or their knack for melody either.
		And, I'll add that although "Head Games" is probably doomed to remain the least esteemed of Foreigner's first four albums, it has definitely emerged as my favorite.
