yup im an old fart also, age 47 and am having great fun with it,most enjoyment ive had in a long time,and ive played a lot of games, thanks for the great game

Wait, what? Someone older than me? Can't be.

I was just playing Mafia II and reminiscing about the good old days...
(BTW Great mood in that game, really great.).

anybody remember the game called siege ?

You're all kids...

My advanced placement high school math class used sliderules.  We had a 6' one at the front of the class we did problems on.

I first saw Star Trek in B&W.  One of those tiny screen sets.

I remember penny candy costing a penny.  Heck, with some you got >1 for a penny.

We used fountain pens -- the kind that leak ink all over your shirt -- in grade school.

Mini-skirts in jr. high and high school.  Yum...

I remember when social diseases were curable with penicillin! (ah, the early 70's -- what a great time to be an undergraduate).  I feel sorry for kids these days in that regard...

Bah I cry shenanigans... Star trek  debuted in 1966 I was 6 heh heh

I watched the beetles land in use..

I watched  first moonwalk..

I watched Elvis at Madison square gardens where they refused to show him from hipps down because of all his crazy girations..

I remember Topo Gigo The little puppet mouse from Ed Sullivan's "really big shoe" his words not mine..

Oh an this old fart also says thanks..

The Internet used to be green and black TEXT, none of this fancy-schmancy streaming media.  No Instant anything.  We had to upload at 150 bits per second in the video snow every day.  Both ways!

Hmm, cassettes I could dig up on short notice, let's see.  Telengard, of course.  Andromeda Conquest, probably.  Think I can still find my Empire of the Invincible Overmind or whatever it was called.  I forget if my copy of Starfighter was on tape or disk.  Sea Dragon.  Robot Attack, I think was the name.  Scarfman.  I don't remember what the Defender clone was called.  I can probably come up with a dozen more, but I'd have to zip up to my parents place and loot my old room.

No way, I was born in 78 and can remember using first tape drive on my amstrad 464 and then 3.5", must have been into the late 80s

I was 7 when I was playing the cassette game Sink the Bismarck.   After I won the game I saw that it was written in BASIC.   So I hacked into the game and gave myself 12 turrets--bet you didn't know some WWII battleships had 12 turrets, did you?   Then I realized the game was too easy, so I coded in more British battleships.   The British were throwing their entire Royal Navy at me, and I sunk them all.

I was lucky my first computer was an apple2c...pretty durable and effecient.

36 as well.

GD you're just jealous.

At the risk of being piled up on;  Take your old-fart-love fest elsewhere! 

The last thing we need at this stage is a geriatric computer nostalgia orgy, it's not helping the state of the game and is really cluttering up the forum.  Threads like these are worse than the hate threads, so please, go get a virtual room at hotel.com or something.

Please don't take the above seriously.

Hey hey don't be threadshitting now.
