Confined to an old HP Pavilion laptop @ work. This time of year, we're rather slow, so there's time to kill during the day. DosBox & WinApple are two programs loaded. Gotta play my old Apple2 games, and IronCross under DosBox. Can't play Hearts, Mahjong, Chess, and De-animator alone. :cheers:

I love Guadalcanal and Bomb Alley from the Apple II days. Galactic Saga, Geopolitic, The Prisoner, all were great time wasters. If you want to burn down an easy hour, De-Animator is the best, although I hate being caught w/an empty shotgun when the horde comes to rip your head & spinal cord out.

Any of you every play War Craft the first one. It was such a bad ass game? Before C&C came out btw. I have that for anyone who want it but it needs IPX. So wish I could do an IPX network over the net still to play someone. :)

 

IPX (= Novell) was the main challenger for TCP/IP on the Internet during the time when the Old Fart's were still youngish.

Yup.. though I consider the father of the modern RTS to be Dune 2.... came out 2 years prior to warcraft. My favorite is still warcraft 2.

Comanche 2.0 by Novalogic was a BAD ASS GAME!!!

 

You had to mess with your autoexec.bat and config.sys to use EMM memory to get it to work right and it played so damn well for the time.

Ahh, the joys of memory management & 5.25 floppy disks. Some things you just don't miss. Hard to believe we shelled out $50 for programs that could be wiped out setting next to a speaker magnet. Backup copies anyone?  :cry:
