alanschu Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) Ah, the days when EGA was state of the art... Man, I am really old. Anyway, I think that it will be the games that will determine who will be top dog of the next generation of consoles, not raw power of the machines' specifications. The one with the most innovative and fun games will be the victor, not the one with the fastest procesor or the beefiest drive, and whatnot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you really were old, you'd have cited CGA. I remember playing Test Drive a long time ago. Everybody always picked the Ferrari Testarossa because it had the highest top speed, but I was the first to beat it in the Lotus Turbo Esprit And let's not forget the green monochrome of the early Apple ][e. I was a big fan of Rescue Raiders. Choplifter eat your heart out. Edited August 3, 2006 by alanschu
Judge Hades Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Well, I don't want to really show my age. I remember CGA as well, and the Apple ][e. Hell, I use to game on a Vic 20.
alanschu Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 No Vic 20 for me. I was 4 when I was playing on the Apple ][e.
Judge Hades Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I was in high school when I messed with the Apple ][e.

Pidesco Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 I remember once I was playing Chip's Challenge and my sister came to complain that the sound (beeper, of course) was really annoying. At the time, I was completely amazed by her reaction. I didn't find beeper sound annoying at all. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

Fenghuang Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I was playing Sun Tzu's Art of War (and the sequel War At Sea) on a Compaq AT luggable with an amber monochrome screen at a clockspeed of about 7.6MHz, IIRC (whilst on work experience at Computerland in 1983 " ). Excellent game. Still the Apple ][ had Lode Runner, even if the clock rate was approximately 1MHz. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Loderunner was my first game (one and two, a game on each side of the 5.25" floppy). RIP
alanschu Posted August 12, 2006 Posted August 12, 2006 I was building levels in Lode Runner when I was 4
