Old Games

The Bards Tale 3 on the C64, that game rocked my childhood, i can still remember the cheat to get a lvl 35 char by taking a char with 0 exp and beating tarjan, the first major "boss", with that char in the party...... aaahhhhh, the good old days, i'll think i'll go check out some abandonware sites and see if i can get it again.

 

I would have to say ZELDA! Zelda is like my type of a game. I have played them all. Yep zelda was my first plus contra.

101010101010101001010111101010100101010101001010100 on the ENIAC.

Those were the days.

 

The first Pool of Radianate release by SSI on 51/4 inch disks for the C-64. Wizardry 1 for the fist IBM with 128 kilobyte of ram 20 megbytes harddrive
0ne 5 1/4 inch disk drive builtin IBM speacker for sound and than green screen montor display.

 

You mean 3 1/2 inch floppy, right?

Anyway, I remember something called Jane of the Jungle and Jack Jackrabbit that I loved a whole lot when I was young....

 

Nope. He means 5 1/4 inch floppy. Once upon a time, there was such a thing, nbrosz.

 

I got up to level 01010110110101010 on the original game.

On the expansion punch card, I got up to 101000100101010101001 before one of vacuum tube banks overheated. Too bad I wasn't able to work the hole puncher fast enough to save my game.

 

ahh, 5 and 1/4 I remember those, am I THAT old?!

 

No. I had a tape drive until last year on some computer that I had. 5 1/4's aren't THAT old compared to some other stuff. 286, 386 and 486 computers all commonly had them.

 

Response

No, you aren't, that just means that you are a total geek, having used a computer when they really weren't incredibly useful.

If you remembered punchcards, however,you are THAT old.

Are you actually being serious about that? If you answer yes, I won't believe you anyway, just asking. I have never seen anything more than really simple programs, like basic math done with punchcards, because they are a little (a lot) before my time.
