hey dkozloski, that was a qbasic game called Microsoft Gorillas. I still have that on my pc, and was just playing it with my brother yesterday! Gotta love it...

I used to play a game called Star Trek, written in Fortran on a PDP-8 that was used for controlling a cutting laser. It was a flat matrix (graphics??) of alpha-numerics and you moved around in this 8x8 grid via a 8 choice menu, until you found a Klingon or a star or a planet. I was sooooo easily amused! But heck, that was 1979 or 80, so the only alternative was feeding quarters into Asteroids or Centepede or Pac Man at the local pub!

I have the MS Arcade pack and still break out Asteriods when I'm in the nostalgic mood!!

Have fun...

You mean these aren't the good old days? - Elf

I'll stay out of this. - 8-Ball

I lost a Summer playing StarCross, a CP/M game that was the "Radio of Video Games". The whole thing was a typed dialog with the computer. Involved waking up in a craft docked at a giant station. Had to find seven crystals hidden about the inside. I never did find the last one. Maybe one day I'll fire up the old Osborne O-1 and give it another go! - The Third

Of course I know what the old days are!! I had an IBM PC XT at the age of like 5 or 6 and I could use dos well, even at that age! You obviously ain't familiar with my history in computers

Last night, I had like 3 red devils (like red bulll but stronger and cheaper) and spent the whole night completeing BioMenace on my old 486 - I put a jumper over the HDD to muffle it and because it's a noisy old quantum, if any one got up in the night, I'd disconnect the HDD to quieten things down - a smalll spark show ensued. Anyways, I gotta go - I'm on a net kiosk

See y'alll tonight!!
