Good god, I actually remember reading that joke the first time around. It makes me wonder what tidbit of information was tossed aside in favor of it? I know it's only been two years, but now I feel ...old... What's that in internet years? Two decades? And how dated am I for really being hooked on reading and gaming by Ultima VI? Note- I was born in 1984. Arthurian tales might have gone in the mix as well, but its hard to tell who's the chicken and who's the egg.

VI?

Ultima III and Phantasie got me started..... not long after you were born.

Aaah! Yes, I meant necromancy!

Is this the nostalgia thread? Sweet, I can make my 1000th post here. I've been here something like 4 years! (Internet for 15)

This board is great, by the way. I think of it as the cream of the strategy crop. I just wish I was better at Dominions so I could feel more like a peer and less like a peon

You played games with punch cards? <3

And yeah, I played Adventure, and Pirate's Cove, on VIC-20 cassette, we were so excited when we finally got them on cartridges.

Actually yes I had alot of experience with punch cards. But I meant the old star trek game on the mainframes where you had to print the screen each turn. Yeah had the Vic-20 cassette, and the Pet 2000 before that.

I see I'm a young punk here. I first got involved with computers by going through the APTs (Advanced Playing Techniques) in my dad's Computist magazines to find out the right bytes to hex-edit to give Conan the Barbarian infinite lives and hatchets, in the Apple IIe game by the same name. From the sound of things that's probably after all the rest of you had gotten rich off the microcomputer boom and retired.
