It was really cool + good. quote:Upon unveiling, the TAM was predicted to cost US$9,000, which would include a direct-to-door concierge delivery service. At release the price was reduced to $7,499. In the middle of its sales' lifespan Apple dropped the price further to around US$3,500, and finally upon discontinuation in March 1998 the price was set to US$1,995. Customers who paid full price for the TAM, and then complained to Apple when the price was so drastically cut, were offered a free high-end Powerbook as compensation.

Even after stuff like Atrax CD players had been around for a couple years and ipods were beginning to make an impact all the Hong Kongers at my school were all about minidiscs. Still saw people recording borrowed CDs onto them until 2005ish.

There was a rumour going around a little while ago that they're gearing up for a remaster/remake of one of the versions of The Dig that got thrown out when they restarted development. I really hope something comes of that.Mak0rz posted:No joke Machinae Supremacy is how I found out C64 music was so rad! I used to listen to them all the time, and a lot of their music is pretty good. My favorite song is still Super Steve. I'm only 25 years young so that poo poo is definitely before my time but drat the C64 sounds so good. My bro had one and an Amiga when we were little, barely remember anything about them though. I got into masu through stumbling across that cover of Freestyler they did, can't even remember how that happened. Might have even been through SA back when I didn't have an account. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkGz6zo-lHo

the act of making and disseminating an image macro is a meme, and certain image macro templates are memes, and referring to image macros as "memes" is a meme, and every second i am alive is torment.

I never played the original Outpost, but I definitely spent hundreds of hours playing its sequel, which apparently had nothing in common with the first one gameplaywise. Best C&C knockoff ever made imo.

Remember forums? I miss forums. I'm only sorta trying to make a funny here. That period from around 2000-2007 when there were shitloads of vbulletin/phpbb message boards focused on niche interests with maybe 100 regulars at any given time was great fun. A few of the gaming forums I used to frequent had a plugin installed that placed health/experience bars under people's avatars, with values calculated from stuff like their posts per day or time since they joined. One amazing thing I saw happen a few times across multiple communities was bad posters getting sufficiently fed up with being flamed to post dramatic I'm Leaving Forever threads that linked to their own proboards/invisionfree sites. They tended to follow the same format: dozens of subforums full of threads they'd posted all at once over the space of a couple hours, hoping in vain to generate activity and make the boards look populated. And more often than not they had a .tk domain for them  Usually you could tell it was like 11-13 year old kids doing that stuff, I remember at least a couple times it was dudes in their 30s melting down over not having the approval of edgy internet teenagers though Pretty good has a new favorite as of 20:05 on Jul 2, 2016 |

I miss when my romsite of choice used to host their stuff as .7z archives that'd contain every known dump of a game + hacks/translations. Downloading mario world/a link to the past and having like 50 hacks of varying scope and quality to screw around in was brilliant.

A childhood relic I'm beginning to feel like I'll never see again is the collection of edutainment games they had on the computers at my primary school. They were a bunch of Acorns, not sure what model, running RISC OS I guess? The ones that stick out in my mind are Arcventure, which was half archaeology dig sim and half isometric time travel adventure kinda stuff; an Around The World In 80 Days game that worked like a CYOA mixed in with puzzles based around maths and general knowledge; another called Aztec (?) that functioned similarly but was all about being thrown back in time in central America and looking for a way back to the future; and this other science themed one where you arrive on an empty space station and have to figure out what's been going on. Other than Arcventure, which I feel like I've mentioned on SA before, there's very little information on them online so I guess they had a limited release, like they were only sold directly to school or something? Every now and then I trawl romsites looking for some sign of them and I always come up short

nigga crab pollock posted:im trying to get navy seals to run on the psp and its such a pain to get running holy poo poo Man, I really loved all the cool poo poo I got my psp to do. I was bummed when I bought it because it came loaded with 1.51 or whatever firmware update it was that specifically blocked the original exploit, but it didn't take long for someone to come out with a firmware downgrader. When GTA came out and required 2.00, I had to decide whether I was more interested in portable GTA than portable Super Mario All-Stars. And then eloader appeared not too long afterwards and oh man, you mean I can have both? GTA cheatdevice was an impressive little utility, too; on top of things like invulnerability/vehicle spawning, you could crank up the clock speed to 333MHz and fix the game's lovely framerate at the expense of a big chunk of battery life. The last time I played around with my PSP before leaving it at a relative's place was in 2010 and by that point there were shitloads of different flavours of custom firmwares with different capabilities, it owned. I'd be so into a writeup on psp homebrew. Didn't realise just how nostalgic I am about it until just now. Or even how long it's really been since those days, drat.
