Me thinks the OP had a bad Hollows experience.
A lot of what he said was true, but it's not all that difficult.

The groups of mobs on the streets are big - if you want to street hunt make sure you have a good team (it can be a team of 2, 3 or more as long as you work well together).

If you want to get across the zone - just keep your eyes open. The groups are large, but there's always a way around them - just take your time.

And taking debt is a part of any team, but the exp. more than makes up for it.

I laughed my butt off when I read this, I'd forgotten about that. It was the first thing I did - 2 for the price of 1.

As for trackball games - it was a little later but Marble Madness, now there was a high tech game.

I was a pro at Pong (my brother and I were the envy of the neighbourhood for having that.)
We also had one of the first PCs that came out - a TI Sinclair? (I think?) - it was high tech at the time.
And the only remote we had in the house was my dad yelling at me to change the channel (I think we had 4 or 5 to choose from).
