For one weird year in mid-school we had LOGO course. Goddamn it was terrible and pointless. I've shown the teacher my collection of simple batch files like menu for DOS games with some wicked cool ASCII art and she told me I can't run those b/c I may gently caress something up on precious school computers. The fact there was no file operation command anywhere wasn't important.

I used to download the swf files from Newgrounds with an app at net cafes and using the official Macromedia tool, to make them into stand-alone exes. I had so much "kill Bin Laden" games and similar crap.

I really want to make a MegaDrive cart of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEG3fdV6Ra4 (yes, it's an Amiga version, but it was also made for GEN/MD: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=64438)

Oh, how I wish there was at least one more, with Priest's songs, but no  kult norwegian tracker Cadaver did some metal chiptunes though, and some of them were included in his Metal Warrior games on C64.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNUUzW7xJEg Back in 1998, there was a musicdisk made of Depeche Mode SIDs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6afQX2gwckg If you download the whole High Voltage SID Collection and do some searches, you'll find some really neat tunes. Oh well, may as well post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzlVNcel44k laserghost has a new favorite as of 21:16 on Apr 30, 2016 |

C64 games were chock-full of "inspired by" tunes (if not outright covers). Today we would call it stealing, but back then games were made dorks in their bedrooms and were sold to younger dorks, so no was giving a poo poo. Some C64 musicians started their careers by remaking Jarre's tunes for demos and games (which also were more often than not unauthorized clones of arcade games): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UjEUH3gjMw

No one likes to be ignored, and still using the smartphone is perceived like willfull detachment from surrounding people. I'm reading Generation 64, a really great book about Commodore's reign in Sweden and people being influenced by it, and on nearly every page there is a mention that computers were often another way to meet and socialize with other geeks, forming computer clubs and demoparties, just to know new people with shared interest of toying with the computer. Nowadays everyone has a computer in their pocket, social media are all the rage, yet it seems there are more trouble because of it.

Black Pants posted:Back in, I wanna say early 2000s? There was this 'game' that came out touting 'revolutionary' learning AI in the form of a 3d little spider bot thing that was supposed to first learn how to move it's limbs well enough so that it stops just wriggling off a platform to its death, and then learn it's way through a maze, though I just had a demo of it so I don't know what you were supposed to do besides watch it's struggles. I haven't been able to find what the gently caress this was since though. Does anyone know? Galapagos: Mendel's Escape

HL2 Survivor can be run on normal PC, if you know where to look for the  version of it. The filesystem is basically a custom version of the original game, it uses some weird resolution and has ton of japanese in GUI, but game itself is perfectly playable. Even the team deathmatch mode with female models of metrocops and overwatch guards works.

I attempted twice making such machine, and it all comes down to drivers. If you have some weird soundcard which isn't anywhere properly documented, you're done.

Yeah, Creative's stuff is easy to find, same probably for Gravis. I had some kind of soundcard which iirc was made for military PCs (can't remember the name, still having it somewhere for the novelty value), so there were no drivers on the net. I tried to substitute with some basic SB16/Pro drivers, no deal.

GetRight was a game-changer, I could finally download Neo-Geo roms on awful Internet cafe connections. It still took Metal Slug 2 an hour to download, and also needed to pay for burning the file on a CD. I left so much money at those dark, badly ventilated places, I probably could buy an actual arcade machine.

error1 posted:Remember the swap trick? wasn't this abused with PS2 and the magic disc or whatever was that called? also when my dad discovered eMule, he got broadband connection and a CD burner with stack of cheap-rear end CDs. I spent way too much time looking for poo poo he wanted (more often than not in 192kbps mp3s), burning it (of course with cracked software), labeling it etc. There were a lot of unreadable CDs, and of course it was all my fault  This was 10+ yrs ago, so most of those CDs are totally worthless now, so he asks me now to redownload a lot of stuff now, but now in flac and wav.
