Nukie Nukies Nightmares Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: Jan 30, 2013 Well, okay, I haven't been here long but I know I'm not leaving any time soon, so I'll post something here. My name is Scott and I live in Dallas, Texas with my beautiful wife Diana, from Colombia. I started playing games in the (very) early 80's with Avalon Hill wargames. Since then I've tried everything, D&D, X-Box, WoW, but I discovered Car Wars in 1986, and I've been looking for this game ever since. I started life as a computer programmer, mainly RPG on IBM midrange systems, but grew tired of hammering keys. I turned to flying, and now am a 747 First Officer for Evergreen International Airlines. I get to see the world, and can play Darkwind on layovers! I'm 47 years old, and hope to be playing DW for many years ahead. Thanks for the game, Sam. I look forward to playing a lot more of it.

A small line, moved slowly across the screen, and with expert timing, you had to press the spacebar to drop a small dot onto a big block!

Sorry, 'rock and roll band' was used there as a generic term.  We do bluegrass, blues, and Americana in addition to punk, funk, rock.  Maybe it's a gimmick but I don't like sticking to just one genre.  ......................... vet wv Posted Mar 6, 2013, 8:48 pm

Racing Robbie The White Ashes Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 761 Joined: Jul 3, 2012 I remember inputting a game from a magazine for the ZX81 - it was a rally/driving game. You had two lines of * running parallel up and down the screen and you had to steer your car in the middle the gap and not hit the sides. The track moved up the screen as you played and if I remember rightly the gap slowly close. We are talking 30ish years here so the memory is a bit shaky ;-) ......................... vet wv northernsummer e2g raceL1 deathrceL1 slay2013 pvp3 ww pvp1 semiprocombat0,1,0 Posted Mar 7, 2013, 9:33 am

musashi_san sunset samurai Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 1,118 Joined: May 7, 2012 i typed in code for a game called the trials of hamurabi, from a book into the basic interpreter in my father's computer when i was around 6 or 7 in the early 70's (maybe 1974-5?). computer graphics was not yet widely available, nor was the "personal computer". the computer i used was a "mini-computer", basically a small mainframe, called a pdp-11, running the pip operating system, and i think my dad leased it to run his business, price new to buy was over 100k $. and yes, this is so long ago that software was distributed as source code on paper, cheap removable media like floppies were also not available yet, the removable backup media from that computer was basically hard drive platters that came in this enormous yellow case, maybe a 12 inch wide and 3 inch deep circle weighing several pounds that you had to lug around. also spent a lot of time as a little kid on site at night at a commercial data processing center while my dad got batch processing done. they basically put me in a room with 20 or 30 vt52 terminals and gave me a log in and said have fun, lol, computer security was not something people thought about yet, obviously. played hearts a lot on it, and there was this text mode game of star trek that drew space with text characters, i think stars were *, klingon ships were K, etc. memories... ......................... vet wv pvp4 pvp2 pvp1 Posted Mar 7, 2013, 3:11 pm

Jose Bagg Taco Killers Autodueller Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 I remember typing in games on a TRS-80. Code came straight from magazines. Then one day, my friend saved up a couple hundred bucks and bought a tape drive. It was just a cassette player player that could plug into the computer he had, then we would buy programs on cassettes. It took 90 minutes to play the cassette, so it took 90 minutes to load the game we wanted to play. No hard drive big enough to store the games, so we had to load it every time we wanted to play. My kids would start to bleed out of their ears if they had to wait 90 seconds for a game to load. ......................... vet wv deathrce1 pvp5 paintball gateautumn deathrceL1 pvp4 pvp30,4,0 Posted Mar 7, 2013, 8:09 pm
