State of the Game
- Thread starter Fuglydog53
- Start date
Whilst on this nostalgia trip - I started thinking "what did I have before my 486 / PC".
Turns out it was an Atari ST - which is still sat on a shelf in my Office - and still works - Well it did a year ago when I last fired it up for a bit of retro gaming.
Ah - happier, simpler times
Commodore Amiga 500 for me. Loved that thing.
My first experience of Elite was on a ZX Spectrum but tbh, I wasn't really that keen on it.
FE2 on the Amiga was amazing as far as I was concerned and it totally drew me in. Even if the performance was dreadful, it didn't matter. I loved the game.

Or 999, Ian. That would be cruel
I've got a MiST - great bit of kit.I have a whole collection of old systems. But mostly for playing I use this thing nowadays: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki
It simulates the old systems in hardware on a chip level, quite interesting stuff for me
Hmm - I'm on hols 'till Monday - may have to get the MiST out and have a play - Thanks for the idea.
Emergency foxy kitty post!
(just for @MishaTX when he gets out of his bunk only to find he has to retire back to it...)
What, oh what, are they doing to this poor kitty!
And while I am at it - very on topic - is this quote:
“The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
Yeah, it's horrible and cruel to kick it over a big playfield and never pet it...

I have my old Apple //c in a suitcase with ye Olde Games Collectione (not a single one legit, of course). Last time I dusted it off, I played Conan, and wow, it's insane how easy it was to complete compared to the weeks I spent working on it back then. Apparently, a lifetime of gaming does make you git gud.At least someone else who has their first computer sitting on a shelf
My first C64 still comes out of it's corner sometimes for a game or some nostalgia - I have a serial to WLAN bridge on it and play telnet based MUDs sometimes....
I had the same experience with Duke Nukem 3D - today I could play it blindfolded. Still I suck at competitive shooters aside of Unreal Tournament
I loved UT... I was in an office once of people who loved the same, so much so, I built a number of lovely maps...

Some of my friends got their hands on a Sony digital cam in 2001 and we digitized our faces for ingame skinz
You know that feeling when you are very enthusiastic and start marching off, but then after thirty steps you realise that no-one is with you, and you turn around and everyone is still standing there...
Feeling that now...

I think they photoshopped out the guy in black's trumpet...

This sausage tastes like a horses p....
We networked the original Doom on the universities computer network in the computer room (remember when that was a thing?!?) unbeknownst to the powers that be for months... happy days...I had the same experience with Duke Nukem 3D - today I could play it blindfolded.
