Geo, You get it working, and I will be in your debt forever if you send it to me. Ive looked forever for it, and could never find it.
That game, even as old as it is, will still be a bLast.

I LOVED Oids! that game Rocked! in fact, I was a winner in the 'submit your own galaxy' contest. I was about 10 at the time, and i am sure everything in my submission was more horribly misspelled than this post (galaxy name was 'deth oids'). I think getting the disk with all the winning enteries on it was far better than the $100 check they sent.
first computer was an XT class clone, prior to that i had an atari 400 (upgraded to 8K ram). anybody remember the PCs when PC stood for 'Portable Computer?' built in monitor and flip down keyboard, but i think they meant Man Portable in the same way that the military means Man Portable. if it has a handle, you can move it.

Re: OT: Complete the following statement, "My first computer was a..."
I seriously recommend MAME for those of you who don't know of it.
It's an emulator for real deal arcade games...there are something like 3000 roms out there you can d/l.
I have the original galaga, shinobi, space invaders, renegade, double dragon, SmashTV, etc.
It's good for a trip down memory lane.
I think the url is mameworld.net, but I'm not sure about that.

Mind posting the link to the 'forgotten' game site? Loved Midway as well! Though I think I miss MULE more than any of the games
do a search for abandon ware (1 or 2 words) and you will find all sorts of downloadable games from the days of yore.

Well, you'll be in S.J.'s debt. I sent it to him to poke aroound with.
I think I have forgotten more about Basic programming then I knew to begin with, if that is possible.
