it just puts a confused face on my head lol ive never heard of any of these junk boxs you are talking about
Junk box? How dare you! You wouldn't call a '63 Corvette a pile of crap, now would you? No, these things are classics. Far outmatched by today's standards, but like people who restore classic cars, we love our classic computers. It may have taken several minutes for some of my old favorites to load, and I may have beaten them a thousand times, but I still love them. Got a personal archive of classic commodore and even classic DOS games. A good game is a good game no matter what the platform it was built on. Too many modern games rely so heavily on effects that they have little to no plot. Back then, without all these fancy-schmancy graphics accelerators and shtuff, you had to have a good concept and a good plot to keep people interested. It's a portion of the art that has been lost over time. |

That is so true! And - I do admit I'm still playing Prehistoric 2, almost 15 years old game that still runs on today hardware - and it is still fun!  lpJ. |

Dungeon Crawl? Any other Rouge-like game? Thats the best games made. If anyone knows about other rouge-like games (not DC, Rouge, Hack, Moria or Nethack) please send me a download link.

My sweet Eleonore, show no fear,
for the fearful riders are all ear,
and they smell and tastes every tear.
But more importantly: They aren't here!
Therefore there is no reason to fear.
Not until they ride again, my dear.

 I, of course, knew what you meant. I just like being dramatic. Especially to prove a point. Dungeon Crawl? Any other Rouge-like game? Thats the best games made. If anyone knows about other rouge-like games (not DC, Rouge, Hack, Moria or Nethack) please send me a download link.
Me too! Me too! Good stuff is hard to find. |

I just gotta ignore all the hate , and say "Elite" yea buddy  , That would be by "Firebird" for you younger gents. It was by all account the first "GTA" Except the C64 wasn't really considered a portable although with the whole thing contained within the Keyboard it was very portable I was referring to the SX-64 , http://oldcomputers.net/sx64.html not the C-64 , sorry for the confusion. I meant Commodore made the first "portable" not that the C64 was one. Edit- "Bards Tale" excellent game. How about "Pool of Radiance" or ..... wait for it .... " ULTIMA II" all the way up to about V then it kinda lost my interest. (being penalized for being bad just ruined it for me) And I left out Akalabeth, cause it was just plain lame , but I bring it now cause it started the whole Ultima saga. |

First gerunds and now old people, Sin?
Those were real games, Deavas. Stuff modern flashy games can't hold a candle to.
Now, if we could take today's flashiness and apply it to those classic games, we'd have a killer combination that's rarely found these days.
