Legendary Asteroids record smashed

[Tactical Dave]

I used to play it on a headless IBM System36. The output interface was a teletype machine fed with greenbar tractor-feed paper.

NICE!

I played it on the old big floppy disks on an old Apple back in the early 90's.

We used to play Christmas tunes on one of those, about 2 1/2 to 3 feet wide.

This was my childhood.

Well, this seems like the right thread for it... I have an "Atari Anniversary Edition" CD-ROM for the PC that I'll mail for free to the first PMer.

The disk says that it runs on Win95/98/Me, but I've run it fine on WinXP. Games includes are: Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Gravitar, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, Super Breakout, Tempest, and Warlords.

[STRIKE]Who wants it for a bit o' nostalgia?[/STRIKE] Sorry folks- already claimed.

Just wait until it is your turn and your kids look at you funny when you say that you had to type in info using a keyboard. They'll just roll their eyes and wonder how anyone got anything done before the direct neural interface.

Kids these days will never be able to imagine a world without the Internet.

It's hard for me to imagine and I lived through it(albeit, very briefly).

We all need to send Al Gore a thank you card for inventing it for us.

Fixed that for ya, Sony Beta Max was before VHS and some say it was a better quality picture!

Original Oregon Trail ROCKED!

I spent many hours playing this game.

Then I graduated up to this.

Descent was my first pilot game

But this was my favorite game as a kid. The original King's Quest. It took me forever to get it the first time. After that, I just tried to win it as fast as possible. The sequels were ok, but nothing like the original.

Uh yeah...58 hours is about 57 hours 45 minutes longer than myself...How does someone even stay up for that long, let alone stay up, staring at a screen with complete concentration for 58 hours.

I had the original Atari and a commodore 64. Tried playing a few games on a Compaq that we upgraded to but never could figure out how to run the stupid thing. Found an original Nintendo in my barracks room ceiling in 96 or 97. That was the extent of my gaming. I guess I found girls. The only games I own are what came with my computer. The only game I have on my iphone is cardshark and I play spider solitaire on it.

I tried that game, but ran into too many bugs. What O/S does that run under?

Whatever o/s it is, it wasn't created by man and is incapable of being reprogrammed to use logic.
