Good old times.

[Stlkrash]

Yep. "Old Skewl Kewl"

 

Here is the "PC" I started flight simming on. You hooked it to your BLACK AND WHITE TUBE TV.. Look those up kids lol.. 16K of screaming power, and to kick it up a notch, you had CASSETTE TAPES to load from your little cassette radio pluged in the side with a 3mm jack...

hell yeah better dont tell to younger people we loaded games with casettes

 

Huh! You youngsters don't know how easy you had it.

 

Type this in...

 

10 N = 1

20 P = 2048

30 READ C

40 POKE P,C

50 N = N + 1

60 P = P + 1

70 IF N < 3416 GOTO 30

80 DATA 34, 128, 255, 67, 55, 55, 208, 

90 DATA 48, 0, 0, 35, 128, 177, 16, 48,

 

....and so on

 

Then save it to tape.

Then try to run it.

Then spend five hours trying to find the errors.

 

And when you get it running, discover it is a load of poop anyway.

 

Those were the days...

 

P.S. What I read for fun in those days: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Z80-Rodnay-Zaks/dp/0895880695 Still got a copy somewhere I think..

Sounds like the early days of gaming were like the early days of flying! Edited October 21, 2013 by Cybermat47

What! That screen had more than two colours! Such luxury!

 

My ol' Apple ][+ (clone) only had green and black! (But I did have 140K floppy - the nose-bleeding speed was the envy of all my friends!)

 

I remember plugging in pages of code from the "Nibble"  magazine!  My favourite was Pengo!

 

Those were days!

I remember Cliffs Of Dover and the game is so much better with Team Fusion 4.0 mod patch. I never really played Cliffs Of Dover because of the bugs, but it's a whole different game with this patch. Multiplayer with 100 players and that is where I will be until this game is released. I will then spend my time on both these sims.

You posted in the wrong thread. 

It should have been posted in another 'While we wait...' thread.
