AE-35 Unit posted:and here I thought I was the only person who'd ever actually played that game There was this one game in the section of Commodore Magazine where you could type in the BASIC code for a game to play it yourself, and I can't remember if this was it or if it was something else with the name "duck" in the title. It was (or felt like) 20-odd pages of code and I think I spent an entire summer trying to type it in line by line, and of course by the time I finished it, it didn't even loving work because I was 8 and of course I hosed something up along the way. I should try and find that magazine again, or else the mystery of "Was That Game Even Worth All That loving Effort" will haunt me forever.

I did this when I was 8 too, with a different game for an Apple II. It was a really simple flappy bird type game and it wasn't remotely worth the hour or two I spent typing it in. Still felt like a baller when it worked though.

We had the Young Ones game but I never figured out what the point was. e: Wikipedia posted:Due to obscure bugs in the software, it was actually impossible to solve the game, although few users realised this at the time. Orpheus ceased trading before the problems could be remedied. wasn't just me then Clipperton fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Jun 3, 2014 |
