How old are Dom2 players?

[Wyatt Hebert]

MoM was great!

Oh, and Sword of Fargoal? *lol* Played that... even got down to the fifteenth level a few times...

Bum--bum-ba-bum--bum-bum-bum--ba-bum-ba-bum...


Now, a game I really liked was (is) Mail Order Monsters. Cute little interface and all, and MULE is still one of the best economics games, imho. (I'm only 27... and I like that I can say only)

I remember the days before computers. Only vaguely, but I remember. Played "adventure" on a Zenith CP/M when I was about 8.

Since we're reflecting on past strategy gaming experiences, one can guesstimate my age by what I remember playing "back in the days":

- Fortress of the Witch King
- War of the Lance
- Sword of Aragorn
- Xyphus
- Sword of Fargoal

and of course: Master of Magic!

Hah! Whippersnapper. My first forays into gaming goodness was through such esteemed titles as:

- International Soccer (on a ROM cartridge)
- Hunchback
- Manic Miner
- Jumpman
- Blagger
- Summer Games
- Commando
- Bruce Lee
- Choplifter
- Barbarian

and many, many, many more. (Floppy disks? Floppy disks We didn't need no steenking floppy disks.)

Barbarian, (or Death sword) was quite unique game... the feeling in it is great. Pity I have found nothing like it, I liked the controls and all the things you were able to do. I'm not sure about the decapitation, though, as it had so strong impact in the game.

Bruce Lee was a damn cool game, especially since you could play it as a two player game, with the second player taking the role of a green sumo with a useless bellow as a tertiary attack.

All of you are still too young.

My first foray into computer gaming was *writing* a lunar lander "sim" in Fortran (and later PL/1) on an IBM 360/40 mainframe. Input via punchcards (remember the model 029/129 keypunch machines?) or the ops console, output via greenbar paper on a line printer. Hmmm, framerate was 0.1-0.2 fps ...

For those into retro-strategy gaming I would suggest:

-Lords of Midnight (spectrum 48k game, but a PC port exists and is only a few Kbs)

-Centurion, defender of the crown
