    		Look out John Lawton...Doris Self wants her title back!!

    Worlds Oldest Gamer

    An 80-year-old Florida native is about to shatter that misconception, however, as she attempts to regain the title of World's Oldest Games Champion.

    Doris Self first became the oldest Q*bert champion in 1984 with a massive score of 1,113,300 points. She was a sprightly 58 years old at the time. Her record was bested in 2003 by 72-year-old John Lawton, of New Hampshire.

    Self is currently in training to regain the title. "My scores will be verified in person by Twin Galaxies' Walter Day and I must not fail," she said in a statement. We wonder whether she'd be any good at Unreal Tournament.

    Which is worlds oldest surviving newspaper ?

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.
