Best Computer Game..

Re: Best Computer Game..

When I was in the Army in Germany in 1985 (ish) I was on the first ever computer course for the (then) new computerised documentation system. When we were back in the Regiment and the system was up and running our Chief Clerk found what is now called an easter egg - space invaders had been built into the system but access was difficult and well hidden. How he found it is anybodys guess!! Oh that beloved green screen!!!!

If they existed in those days ,It might have been mentioned on a bulleton board?

Re: Best Computer Game..

The computer existed, it was on my desk on the course. Clue to year is that I was already back in Germany from Dorset which was up to Nov 1984 and Terminator (1984) was on the pictures in Munster, near to where I was on my course. So 1985 is an accurate estimate. The system was known as PAMPAS. A documentation system, and word processing unit. For the record, a lot of money and ****!

Yeah, the old skool games are great, a lot of them have a lot of charm, and good gameplay. I still play them now, and modern games too.

You should be able to pick up most of the stuff for quite cheap on ebay. It's what I do.

Unfortunatley I don't really have anywhere to have it set up at the moment though.

Got loads of consoles/handhelds...The commodore c64 i actually picked up a cdrom from hmv some years ago with 3000 games 10000 sid tunes.You can get most stuff for free on the interent as the technology is defunct now anyway.I seldom get time to play these days.It would be nice to have an original c64 set up but i have to be practical with space.Wait till my kids have left homee then maybe one of the bedrooms as a shrine to better days?

Re: Best Computer Game..

A room as a shrine to better days sounds cool.

Sometimes I imagine how cool it'd be to be able to visit my old bedroom again, just as it was in the 80's.

Re: Best Computer Game..

For those who like horror, read on.

Although I'm not quite into this genre, I had a 7-CD rom game 'Phantasmagoria'. The reason I liked it because of the point-and-click gameplay. I did get scarier while you progressed.
I didn't buy the game myself, someone bought it for me as a surprise.

It was rated 18, but I wasn't 18 yet. Oops.
