really old computers

I have a little Mac Performa 550, I fire up about once a week just to keep up my use of Mac key codes.

 

I have a compaq 386 that I use every now and then. It has a dungeons and dragons game on it, and I'll goof around with lotus 123 just for old time's sake.

 

Man, old is the interactive unix 386's and 486's that some people I support are still using. Interactive was EOL'd by Sun like ages ago, shittiest unix-based OS i've ever used. I am a fan of commodore 64/128, sick sick games. Also the amiga i forget the model names, but the games for that were fuckin awesome, loved Zak McKracken

 

had a 10Mhz box with a turbo button!

worked until i took it apart.....weeeeeeeeeeeeeeird stuff in there.

 

Yep, I got mine (TS 1000) in the very late seventies or early eighties....ahhhhh......

It was trippie as hell....at the same time the como 64 was the caddy of its day.


My first PC was a Timex Sinclair, with 2K of RAM expandable to 4K, as best I recall. A friend gave it to me in 1983 I think it was...

 

Me too

Free downloads here, may be, only german versions, i didn't check it out:

Zak McKracken 1.03


Zak McKracken 2


Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstar (still in developement)

 

I'm still on an antiquated computer. Dell Precision 210. One of those old style desktops that take up a ton of space. It's on the floor beneath my desk and makes for a nice footrest when I'm playing around online.
​

 

I have a Texas Instruments 99/4A. Gooood gadget...

 

Our Commadore 64 still ran when we boxed it and stored it in the attic about 10 years ago. It wasn't bad, no storage on the machine, everything on HUGE floppies and it only too, oh, about 5 days to boot up. LOL!

I saw this computer at the Smithsonian.

 

You should hook it up and play some friday the 13th, stunt car racer, or zak mckracken. I remember the Zak I had wasn't cracked so when you go to the airport and you gotta enter a pin number (presumably only in the manual so that they could stop people from sharing games) so I could never get too far. But the amiga one I had was cracked, so I played pretty far into it. Oh and thanks for that link up there ^... had to g et rid of cable and net at home (usually post on here from work) due to money issues, so now I might dl a commie64 emulator here and tons of roms to bring home. I've got a nes emulator and every game ever made for it kicking around somewhere, yet another sick old system.

 

I use an NES emulator called ZSNES that is pretty cool. Has a crap load of games and doesn't have to be installed to use. it runs on Windows (I have XP), DOS, or Linux. My kid and I were playing Lethal Enforcer and Claymates about a week ago.

i just upgraded, but before xmas, i was using an IBM aptiva from 1995. 333 mhz/64 RAM.

actually ran just as fast as my new laptop, except for media. good for the net, though.

 

Yes I like zsnes, runs pretty smoothly.

I didn't know they had a stunt car racer for amiga! the one i played was for c64 or 128, but i doubt 128 because if i recall correctly there weren't many games that actually used the 128. I forget a lot of the commodore game names, I remember this one series that was one of the first side scroller punch faces games. I used to love that one. Mission Impossible was sick too. Zork sounds a little familiar, what is the plot and gameplay like?

Amiga 4000 is the SHIT, you ever play that game where huge radioactive ants are taking over, i think it's called "it came from the desert" not exactly sure on the name, that game was so fun but i could never beat it. Another one i loved because you could decapitate people in fights, was "moonstone" but my little cousin stepped on the floppies and ruined the copy. Do you know any good ROM sites for amigas?

 

I found this link

hope it helps....

 

Ahh I liked some of those text games but never tried zork, I used to play this one a lot I think it was called mountain valley something or something river valley i know valley was in the title, and I also liked spellbound but couldn't get very far.


I think we are talking about the same stunt race game, it sounds much alike, but I know this one was on the c64, maybe the amiga one was like a sequel.

There's the game I am talking about.

 

Yea I remember the winter games vaguely but i can't remember if i sucked or was good at it lol. I wish there was an amiga emulator that could run off of cd in a playstation 2, that way i could play the amiga games on my tv, and without using my computer.
