A window to the past

Netscape + Oregon Trail + some silly math game comprise my early computer memories from elementary school.

silly math game?! You mean Number Munchers?

[EPW]

I don't think so.

Huh? You posted at newsmax? Those guys are crazy. They called me a feminist, Black Panther-supporting, Marxist. No exaggeration

i went over as part of the invasion and ended up staying for quite a long time. those guys were just too much fun to mess with. in fairness though, although they were all pretty much crazy, there were also some very nice people there.

i think it got closed down (the forum, not the site) at some point after 9-11 because the owners found the 9-11 truthers there too offensive or some such.

Is it just me or is that a topless lady laying down in that zig zag game on the computer up there?

I think you're right. Holy ****.

I remember this game with circus animals. Apparently one of the animals were meant to have gone missing (or kidnapped someone? I don't recall). The identity of the animal was meant to switch each game (apparently?) but it never did (making me question reality as I know it).

Why'd you remove it? It's what, like a 4 bit depiction of a topless lady on a computer from the early 80s? This isn't the middle east you know.

This is a family site, Drixnak. I'm not going the loinberger route and getting banned for posting porn.

I started out with one of these.



The game there is 3D Monster Maze. Great, it was. First 3D game I ever played. :cloud9:

The only family on here are no longer mods.

[Cort Haus]

Oh, actually, not the only family.

Anyway, I'm also old enough to have worked with 8" floppy disks - usually getting data off the buggers on a TRS80 Xenix machine and sending down an RS232 port to a PC.

I didn't work with them, but we had them when I was young (pretty sure I used them too).

In my childhood, there was only an abacus in the newsagents where my grandma worked. An abacus and books of dirty jokes. When I got an Atari 2600, that was huge.
