I remember the text adventure games! Although I've always preferred computer RPG (even with those wire-frame "graphics" of Wizardry I).

This thread has wandered (in various directions) off-topic so much that I hope on-topic volunteer-for-Editor posts like yours, crashinbrn, don't get lost in it.

I doubt it, Don. I'm sure that Roly is making a list and checking it twice.

i will admit it i enjoyed reminiscing through all the posts. i remember seeing the punch cards but i was too young then. my first hands on computer was the coleco 'ADAM' (tape drive) and they went out of business a month after my dad bought it. and then the commodore 64 after that. it was fun learning how to use them.

First computer I remember using was made by Tandy, and it used a combination of cartridges (one of them was just labeled "Basic") and 5.25" floppies. I can't remember much more about it, I was too young 25 years ago.

That's why I preferred the RPG's: you killed the monsters or they killed you. And you kept getting stronger, finding better weapons, and learning neat spells.

I had one for my TI 99/4A, it was a simple game, but I enjoyed it a lot. That "ECF Forum MVP" title, is that new Don?

Yeah. Angus surprised me with it. It was not something I dreamed up for myself! [Unlike my Bon Vivant and Dilettante designation.]

Congratulations Don, you are most deserving of being the Forum's MVP.

Agreed, just don't betray the trust of your fans like Lance Armstrong or every single Major League Baseball player, vis-a-vis performance enhancing substances.

Oh wait, we don't play sports here... never mind!

 

[DonDaBoomVape]

Do PG and VG count as performance enhancing substances? And then there is the nicotine and caffeine and the occasional bourbon. Uh oh! I guess I'm like all the rest.

Thanks guys!

I think they are perfomance enhancing substances, Don, they enhance your writing skills. It's time for a Congressional investigation!!

Then we can watch Don plead the fifth for four hours.
