shaefurr 1337 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Such a flashback to the older DOS days and dialing in the bulletin boards. Makes me want to play Legend of the Red Dragon. http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-would-google-twitter-spotify-instagram-skype-have-looked-like-in-the-80s/?utm_source=c1&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=305fijifrost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaefurr 1337 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) I used to play LoRD and Land of Devastation all the time. Good old days. It's still running on the web just under the Green dragon name. Legend of the Green Dragon Abit unrelated but if you still desire text based games Zork I-III are free on the infocom site Edited November 1, 2014 by shaefurr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3089 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 What a great find!!!! That's fricken quality!!! i forget about all the noises that were made when anything loaded up. I remember the sound of a 5 1/4" floppy spinning in an Olivetti 286, at the time it was normal but if you heard it in todays technology you would think there was a hamster in there with a sledge hammer.
