  • With his recent haul Cap is probably around level, and might be ahead. Either way we are co-dominating this one.

      Luckily I have several Obscure Games left, if I ever get the chance to again

      Bring it on!

            • Yeah 26 in Gamer Years, welcome to the "I remember the C:\ Prompt and created my autoexec.bat by hand" Crowd

              Where is Cap? I need my wrong guess every few days =)

              • Hey I'm only 29, don't make me sound 40 or something.

                • Sheesh, 26 year old n00bs on one side, and 29 year old geezers on the other.

                  Glad I'm 28, the perfect age

                  Yeah 26 in Gamer Years, welcome to the "I remember the C:\ Prompt and created my autoexec.bat by hand" Crowd
                  Are you saying I shouldn't still be creating my autoexec.bat by hand?
                  I make movies. Come check 'em out.

                    Well, I do remember the c: prompt, and did create my autoexec.bat files by hand, so ...

                    If that's as far back as one can go, that's not very far. A real old gamer remembers computers with memory measured in bytes

                    • My first comp had a whopping 48k of RAM.

                      • My first had 16k. Who remembers the Timex Sinclair (think it was just Sinclair in the UK) that shipped with 1k of memory?

                        • Ahh the ZX81 (or even the zx80 if you're about my age)..Expandable to 16K but you needed an elastic band to keep the ram pack in place.

                          • A-ha! Now the real old fogies are coming out of the woodwork.

                            • i'm still around, actually was a bit of a surprise that bouncing babies also appeared on the PC.


                              And my first comp shipped with 64K of ram (although the only way to actually use was by programming in assembly), ha!
                              Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

                              • As for a game, here's a IBM-PC only game late 80's


                                In the 80's PC gamers didn't have a wide selection
                                So the few games that did were welcomed with affection
                                While since then this game hasn't gone on to great renown
                                At the time this was a rare type of game in PC town
