shaefurr 1340 Posted November 1, 2014 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
Redshirt 1487 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Ah LoRD and Usurper.. Those were the days.
techywarrior 689 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 haha,I used to run a BBS with LoRD and (can't remember the name but it was a space galaxy trading game)
shaefurr 1340 Posted November 1, 2014 Author 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
Cheesegeezer 3104 Posted November 1, 2014 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.
shaefurr 1340 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 Ya if your PC makes that noise today I think you're in trouble lol
shaefurr 1340 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 haha,I used to run a BBS with LoRD and (can't remember the name but it was a space galaxy trading game) Was it Trade Wars?
ebr 16169 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 ZORK all the way!! I wasted half my time at college with that thing...
shaefurr 1340 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Posted November 1, 2014 lol, thats win, I really loved Beyond Zork, that one was my favorite. Return to Zork with graphics however.. omg. Want some Rye? Course ya do!! [Youtube] [/Youtube] 1
ebr 16169 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Once Zork tried to go beyond text, it was all downhill. That thing was amazing in 1983 though... Where do we get those t-shirts?
shaefurr 1340 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 That specific shirt is actually a fan made shirt with the DIY how to Here Though this site has tons of other zork apparel and shirts http://www.zazzle.com/zork+gifts
