Sigh

Yes, I know its obsolete tech, but a little piece of me died when I read this news.

Ah, the simple things....

Playing F-19 Stealth Fighter (an old Microprose classic). With CGA graphics.

Joy. :-)

Ugh... feeling old.

GameSpy has published a list of their 25 Top Games of the '90s. Of the 25 on the list, I've played 20, and some of those are still games I love playing now (or would, if I still had a working copy).

And who says 8-bit is dead?

Seriously cool clone of Guitar Hero... on a Commodore 64 (not an emulator either, but an actual C64!). Thanks to Intelligent Artifice for the heads up:

One for the "must get" list

Thanks to Intelligent Artifice, I've found out about a book from Hiive Books, The ZX Spectrum Book - 1982 to 199x.

The Speccy was the second computer I ever owned (after a Dick Smith Electronics VZ-200). These two computers -- especially the Spectrum -- were the main reasons I learned programming. I didn't have a reliable tape recorded to save or load programs, so if I wanted to play a game, I'd have to type it in. Of course, the listings were often hard to read, and I'd make typos, so before I could play the game, I'd have to fix all the bugs first.

Ah, memories....
