Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - txt-based DOS game. What an awesome experience.

can you imagine the ragequit threads trying to get the babelfish in your ear would have created if there was an internet back then?

Freeoww!

Anyone remember Dial-Up? Good times... -_-"

If there is a Hell, there is Dial-Up[ there].

If you don't remember dial-up you're likely not old enough to be here.

Did he used to play WoW, too, by chance?

Shot in the dark, but I used to know an older in WoW, years ago.

I've got my dad (63) to play poe and other RPGs, though it does annoy me when he has to pick up and sell everything! He started out gaming by making his own pong game including home made joysticks and later cracking games on the beeb micro. (I still remember the tune from carnival and way of the exploding fist from my childhood...)

At least he can pick it up with a mouse. Easier on the back.

I usually don't tell my age; leaves the kids speechless except for OMG!

Don't talk about my Dial-Up like that.

WTS 2400 Baud modem and a 387 math coprocessor chip

C64 with 1541 disk drive and 720 baud modem. Check

Airplane war game (can't remember name) that took 10 minutes to load and crashed horribly for two of the available choices. Check

Pool of Radiance on 6?(been awhile) floppys. Check

I don't miss this much.

But I really loved autoduel. Car customization was awsome.


Edit: Airplane game was Wings of War. Crashed all the F#$@!&g time.
