Remember When?

[CybertecOne]

lol, i remember playing on a C64...... it was when i was really young... as im still young now

it was a game that if i recall was very much like an ABC (TV Channel similar to SBS) lol, (Australia) if noone understands.... and it was like this show called Trapdoor, which was 5 minute show about a clay cartoon figure and what he does....

he lives in a castle and has to keep feeding the 'thing upstairs' and all i remember being able to do in the game was collect worms from the trapdoor, and send them by dumbwaiter upstairs before it got angry...

and thats it........

obviously i was missing something at such my young age.. does anyone remember a game like it?

Aha! the RS-232 interface! I've still got 3 or 4 of 'em lying about. always better to see the computer stuff on the teevee than on the bloody green screen monitors - or amber ones (we had amber - hey man! that was hi tech back then).

RGB Graphics, VHR graphics, VHA graphics, UHA graphics... low res, high res, and you could access the assembler right from the prompt!

8 bit sound ruled. Ever play "Master of Magic" with it on? The game rocked, the sound with the game was phenominal.

I miss the flip top lids on the desktop boxes. I still have 2 that do that, but starting at my 286 they became towers. Guess the builders didn't really want us peeking under the hood.

Remember fastram, and 'We will never break the 100 Mhz barrier.'

and on your bud's computer (or the lab at college)
prompt (insert best bud's name here) is a weenie $p $g

and to annoy your bud further -

copy con: autorun.bat
cls
echo 'I am Death Incarnate!'
echo 'All others must kneel before me!'
echo '(best bud) is STILL a weenie!
echo 'Muhaha!'

Gawd those were the days.
