| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00  | I remember when I was a kid, they had these books that were mysteries you had to solve by typing in BASIC programs. After scratching you head for hours to get a picture of a skull printed with x's, you would proceed to the next chapter. Any one know what I'm talking about ?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | My friend used his C64 until like 1995. Ha! We used to tool on him for it. He was playing his stupid Bruce Lee game (Anyone remember that one!), while I played Super Nintendo like all the noormal kids. "Iowa Zach 10 bucks" | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | My mother still has mine. She thinks it can still be used for something. She turned it on about 6 months ago and the thing won't even boot. So she asked me if I knew of a place where she could get it fixed!! Mind you, my mom thinks this thing is high tech. She doesn't even have an answering machine and JUST got a caller ID box for her phone (Boy, she's zoomin' into the 90's). I hope I never get to that point where I'm afraid of technology. I remember Ant talking about this a few weeks ago about how his mother has the same problem (I think it was the day where he was talking about Regis and his computer on "Millionaire").  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I got my C64 second hand from a friend who felt bad for me after he updated to an IBM 8088. It had one driving game that was so bad it was good. A big black strip up half the screen was the road, the green on either side was the grass on the side of the road, and the blue across the top was the sky. That was it, no car, no guages, no steering wheel, You steered with the arrows, and stopped and went with a & b. It was awesome! On a related note, my elementary school made the excellent decision of outfitting the computer lab with Commodore Pets. Those things sure were useful. VIRRRRGINS PEOPLE!!! And ... A McGwire Rookie Card!  This message was edited by BE DIALING! on 3-5-01 @ 7:53 PM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Nov. 00 | Damn. I loved that C-64. Used to trade games in school like baseball cards. I had almost a thousand games and programs. Anybody remember Jumper and Jumper Jr.? Or Space Taxi?  Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again. - Marin County newspaper's TV listing for The Wizard of Oz American beer is like making love in a canoe.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I had a C128..... With an Epyx Joystick that was contoured to fit the left hand. Best damn joystick out there. I beat Ghostbusters once.... Somehow I got two guys to run past Mr. StayPuff. Here's a game I keep on mentioning.... the best C64 game ever..... (IMHO) Impossible Mission. Hey, if you want to play any C64 games, www.ClassicGamming.com I'm afraid to mention them because I don't want to rooin it, but it's great to play IM, Karate Champ (Arcade), .... And that you Ant. I played Pat Benetar's Get Nervous the other night and I realized why I hadn't played it in 15 years.  "I use you for good board I'm not your friend" Guided by Dryblood. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | Newer had a C-64. We had the Apple II. I remember when the floppy disk came out. Sometimes you had to line up these 2 little holes just to get a disk to boot right. There was this game called Castle Wolfenstien that I was addicted to. Anyone else ever play it? "Cry havoc...and let slip the dogs of war!" | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | Q-Link had this game that was multi player with graphics that looked alot like Maniac Mansion & Zak McCracken ( BTW the 60 Hz tone for the telephone is alien mind control). It was called Club Caribe. It used to rock, you could get new heads, go to a comedy club, find all sorts of stuff. It was really interactive for the time and it was real addictive.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Before even Q-Link were the BBS's. You'd need a terminal emulator program to dial into these bulletin board systems, completely text based where you could download files, chat, post messages, play games. It was the earliest commercial use of the net. I can't believe people think the net has only been around since 1996. Some dumbass who I know who happened to get a job at Juno and now thinks they know everything about the net tries to tell me the net is 5 years old. What a tool. Ever heard of arpanet? The net has technically been around since 1969, starting with the 4 ARPANET nodes which grew into what is today the Internet. The BBS's were the first communities where people besides scientists and professors began to use to net to communicate. ________________  You sir are a pest.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Dec. 00 | Here's a trip down memory lane. I learned to program in the haydays of punch cards. No monitors, not keyboard. A keypunch machine with a 1000 cards. If you forgot to number your cards and you dropped them, you were fucked. I'd walk around campus with boxes of cards. The first 'PC' I used was a TRS-80 with no harddrive and no floppy. You lost what you wrote after you turned it off. When my college did get a PC lab up, the computer majors would fight for, get this, the 8 mhtz machine in the lab cuz it was 'stupid fast'.  Contact me if you want to be adopted. I'll teach you to think 'Outside the Box'. 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 011110001100110000001100000000110000111000011 010001001100110000001100000001001000111100011 010000101100110000001100000010000100110110011 010000101100110000001100000010000100110011011 010001001100111111001111110001001000110001111 011110001100111111001111110000110000110000111 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Well, not only did I use the punch cards on an old IBM mainframe, when I was in HS we used teletype machines with tape programming in BASIC!!; It's freaky now to think about it. 1st big game on mainframes I think was called RP called "Adventure". This led to Zork, and then the infocom games (leather god of phobos, etc.) These games are actually making a comback now on palm pilots - I have Zork and phobos on my Handspring. | ||||
