Daimo posted:You are basically a wizard can I buy you a hat? Thanks for the compliment, but it's no big deal. The lovely load speed pissed me off so much that I took a couple of books out of the library and taught myself how to rewrite the drive firmware. Anyone with a technical background could do the same thing. Technically I actually replaced the drive firmware by loading my code from the C64 into the 2 KB buffer in the 1541. My code would then boot itself inside the 1541 and override Commodore's firmware. Any load commands from my software on the C64 would then be intercepted by my loader and not the default lovely Commodore loader. I think my entire fast load routine took up less than one Kilobyte of RAM. It was pretty tight. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 19:19 on May 30, 2014 |

I loved the 'toolbox' games back in the day too - like getting the Quake modding tools but the whole game was built around it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yygfPWkiR18 Pinball Construction Set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw3R-_flF4Y Racing Destruction Set The racing one ruled because you could tweak the world's variables like gravity, track slipperiness, damage-taking of the cars from 'arcade' to 'be careful' - and you could even race lunar landers.

Dude you are such a sperglord you made your own IRC channel because you don't remotely understand human interaction or even what this magical thing we call "jokes" are. English isn't your first language is it? Anyhow lots of people loved playing RPGs on their old computers. poo poo was fun. And it isn't like the UK folks don't have the action scene covered. Brutally abusive action games that loving hate you and that's just waiting for them to loving load off the tape drives.

Forbidden Forest had the best music. Bard's Tale was an awesome sperg game, I was confused like hell when mapping the first sewers because there were areas where you would exit one side of the grid and enter the other, so it seemed to go on forever. I also cheated like gently caress by selling items and swapping disks and selling them again and that's how I kept my horn of frost for the whole game. H.E.R.O. Elite had the craziest copy-protection. Beachhead was p cool. Don't forget Halloween. For little sprites that game scared the poo poo out of me.

I just remembered a couple C64 games I played the hell out of: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Saga Mars Saga - you have to get the I-card from that Frost guy to win. The combat sequences remind me of a sort of paleolithic X-Com and I spent a bit of time playing laser slots and kosmic keno in the casino. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Fleet_I:_The_War_Begins Star Fleet 1 - Some of the most fun you can have with near text adventures. The graphics were incredibly simplistic, the scenarios limited, but drat if I didn't put a buttload of hours into it. Hell, I even made up stories about the commanders of the various ships and had my own proto fan fic.

Can't believe I've not seen Robots of Dawn mentioned yet. loving mind numbing. Paradroid until your fingers fall off, I can't believe how drat neat that game was. Gauntlet, of course. Just about anything by EA. Mail Order Monsters, Skate or Die. No mention of Terry the Pirate either. The time and effort put into some of the loading screens of cracked games, sheesh, just awesome. Fairlight, Razor1911.. Commodore could have ruled the world. beamrider fucked around with this message at 23:30 on May 30, 2014 |

Which wasn't very much fun, but when you inevitably got bored trying to make an adventure, you could just let the computer finish it for you by putting in all sorts of random poo poo from the appropriate genre. The geekiest thing I did was use a sector editor to search disks for hidden messages, and to cheat at text games like the otherwise unwinnable "Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative".

Head Over Heels. My best friend and I played it for years and finally, after an all day marathon session, liberated the entire system and escaped to Freedom. The Last Ninja. The original was and remains the best, although 2 was cwertainly a *good* sequel. Never played the third. CREATURES (Clyde Radcliffe Exterminates All The Unfriendly, Repulsive Earth-ridden Slime) 1 and 2, never has watching innocent fuzzies get tortured to death been so hilarious or fun. Of course another vote for Wizball, that game was astounding. And as for games that hate you and never want you to know joy, Thing on a Spring. And the little-known Strangeloop, a game in which you have to find a glitched wall in order to get into a room not on the map, which is actually the room on the game title screen, to find a crucial item required to win the game. And did I mention there's a room where you can perrmanently lose every item you're currently darrying, never to see them again? PaleFigure fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Jun 1, 2014 |

I could never get into Text Adventures Hesh. I know I am supposed to love em, but I just never could. I collect for the Atari 8 bit computers and Infocom stuff tends to command a fuckload of money in spite of one being able to play em on an ipad with nice ease of use features. I did really want to try Lurking Horror though. Surprisingly enough Elvira and the early Lucasarts SCUMM games are all on the C64 as well as the first Survival Horror I know of that is actually a "Proper" one, PROJECT FIRESTART. One reason I kind of went Atari 8 bit over C64 as a modern retro collector is in general the games are cheaper and there are a fuckload of cartridge games. Plus in general no real PAL/NTSC issues since the A8s weren't very big in Europe outside of Poland. Most tape games have disk versions even if they are a pain in the rear end to find. I should probably get a second C64 DTV joystick and mod it to be a full C64 and get a SD card for it. Much of its' guts were made by this wonderful person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kDhpFaf4EY However I do have a couple C64 games just so I can guilt free play them in emulators because gently caress disks and tape loads:  And I have a couple more because back in the day they made some games on flippy disks. Generally one side would be Atari 8 bit, the other C64. At least till Ray Kassar and the Tramiels managed to skullfuck Atari into irrelevance.

d0s posted:STAY FOREVERRRRRR Yeah they only sold a shitload and all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_httoglo7M Oh wait, this never existed. I forgot. Oh no. The Atari 8 bit computers were pretty goddamned great. In some ways better than the C64. Better disk access, more colors, faster CPU, 4 controller ports (in 1979!!), gently caress. DUAL CARTRIDGE PORTS. Also it has motherfucking YOOMP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcl9iDMjAHA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiFSULMxaQ8 It just was saddled with being attached to Atari and much like the mighty C64 they never really updated the specs when they could have or should have. In general everyone coded for the LCD machine and that was that. Though to be fair, the A8 bit had memory card slots and OS slot in the original 800 model. Which is my favorite ugly computer:  Look at this glorious 70s motherfucker.  Reinforced with motherfucking STEEL.  In the old days air cooling was the only cooling you needed.  Course if you want RPGs the A8 bit aint poo poo dog on the C64 or the Apple 2. For old school action? Can't really go wrong with a C64 or an Atari 8 bit.  Even kill EVIL TRENTS. Daria would approve!  Old computers are FUN. Outside of lighthearted nonserious System Warrioring there is usually something to offer on most of the old school micros. Even the Sinclair Spectrum not that I can stand it much. Some loving boss rear end looking machines though. Black 128 +2 is a sweet lookin rig: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum_128_%2B2 Black version owns. Sadly they just show grey. Only reason I don't own a real C64 now is because the Atari is something I didn't have as a kid so its like getting to enjoy a whole new machine. The fun of LEARNING NEW STUFF. And with the Atari the cartridge games are cheap and plentiful. Floppy disks aint loving long for this world. (Also the C64 has such a massive library of awesome stuff I would be super broke all the time.)

I just couldn't be bothered to figure out the barebones emulators out there where you have to set everything up manually to get it working. Plus the Amiga had much better games and Amiga Forever is a cool emulator that's easy as hell to use.
