HEY!! That old Apple IIC was my first computer back in the day. Sniper, think I have some old 5.4 inch floppies if you go that route (F-15 Strike Eagle, Dig Dug, Silent Hunter) :P

lol... yea it was my first computer too

I remember making text games using if then programming statements

"you come across a woman with big titties... press 1 to fondle em or press 2 to look for a woman with teeth"

and then I'd write something like if 1 then she says "ooo a horny 12 year old" or if 2 then "down the aisle there are four other doors, which do you select"

and so on

i was quite teh creative kid

course i dont think an Apple IIc would help much in your case snipet... in your case I'd suggest sucking it up and driving on

just take some pictures, goto Walgreens and digitize em then go to the effin library and post em... if ure worth ure salt, you've already snuck a disposable camera on a ruck march or two

LOL charlie - good old days...

i had a commandore 64 and I never going to forget my Sinclair ZX Spectrum http://www.worldofspectrum.org/. I had to use a portable tape player - adjust the volum just right then press the buttom - and hope the game would load. If the volum wasn't set right - the upload would fail... GOTTA LOVE IT


I remeber these:

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0003874
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0001229 guess I've been a Dambuster for many years...
we had lots of other games as well, but can't really remember the names...

LOL I used to do exactly the same thing with my old TRS-80. If/then/gosub subroutines were so l337 back then... If I dabbled in the black arts of Machine Language, I could even make my Trash-80 go "Beep".

I had to wait until they invented colour to take advantage of that particular luxury. The TRS-80 did have two colours though. Green and light green. Pixels the size of your fist. The good old days.

when we where young we had no money for colers anyway - invented or not - our skinn was white and our clodes was grey. We didn't have a house to have our computer in - we had to live under the computer. we where 12 kids and the youngest would sleep next to the cpu; the warmest place...
