ICQ and WS_FTP had the same "uh oh!" sound. A guy I used to work with got in trouble because the boss thought he was chatting during work time. Turns out the guy was just uploading changes to the website.

I had my NES and SNES connected at the same time with their RF switches in serial. I was too afraid to turn them both on at once because I thought they would explode. Now I know nothing damaging would happen, but what would it have done? Would it have made the NES signal interlace with the SNES signal or just give you scrambled garbage?

Back in the distant days of the pre-Internet past, one of the local BBS systems was based on board games, and the site itself written in BASIC. I dialed in once, successfully connected, and then got dropped to a command prompt. I knew just enough BASIC to figure out how to fix the error that was occurring and get the site to load up, but it logged me in as the person who had presumably crashed it.

Being an obnoxious teenager, I proceeded to change his information, adding -Leek to his last name and changing this address to Hell. I then declared wins in all the games he was playing and posted a bizarre anti-vegetarian rant on the main discussion page. I didn't change his password, though, figuring he would log in, see the mischief I had wrought, and realize that his account was not secure.

Instead he logged in and whined in confusion on the main page, changing nothing. I took this as a cue to log back in using his information and post more weird anti-vegetarian nonsense, which I continued to do for several days until he finally realized that he needed to change the password to his drat account.

Good times.

Really briefly around 1995 there were jewel cases that looked exactly the same as a CD case except that they held a floppy disk instead. Basically this was done so that crappy games that still came on a floppy could pretend to be on a CD and people wouldn't know until after they bought it because obviously the booklet obscured what was in the case. The little bit of writing on the back with the system requirements and so forth was a dead giveaway though.

This game. This loving game.



I could play this for about 15 minutes before arriving at what seemed to be an impossible jump across a lava pool and died. Every single time. It wouldn't even let me murder my sidekick, Raoul, which I tried to on numerous occasions out of frustration. I think it would let you beat him up a little, but the memory is vague.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
- Downloading a copy of The Anarchist's Cookbook off some BBS at my friend's house, saving it on a 5.25" floppy drive that I hid under my mattress where the FBI would never think to look for it, and feeling like a smug outlaw badass for pulling off that perfect crime.

- Listing off the Applesoft Basic code for Oregon Trail at school and deleting the line that checked how much money you'd spent on oxen/medicine/food/etc so that we could spend MAXINT amounts on each and nearly instantly win the game due to having incredible mutant cyber oxen and enough future medicine and food to never be remotely in danger of dying. Our middle school computer class instructor got really pissed off about us doing this which in retrospect tells me that he was completely missing the point about what useful skills were being learned in his class.

- Building a rudimentary scanner by using an Apple IIc's joystick port to power an infrared LED and IR transistor that were stuck into two halves of a cut up soda straw. I glued these to an old ink cartridge from my dot-matrix printer so that the LED straw would shine light onto a point on whatever was on the platten and then read back the analog value of the reflected light as detected by the IR transistor straw. You could move the printer head by printing a space character, read back the analog light/dark value of what it was pointed at through the joystick port and then repeat/newline/carriage return to form a blocky image file. My friends and I did a pretty brisk trade in scanned Playboy nudes with the added advantage of getting to laugh at the noobs who weren't tech-savvy enough to display the images in proper Apple II HIRES mode.

Amazon Trail was loving legit. First person rowing down the Amazon taking pictures and poo poo. Also, best Dr. Brain was that late 90's one that was an isometric 2D action RPG thing.

Odell Down Under was also great. Get to Great White Shark level and just demolish everything.
