XT's are the coolest computers, up to december last year I still used one! And I also think its cool that if you droppped mine on your foot it would crush your foot like a pancake (im not kidding it wieghs about 30 kg, its solid steel man!)its also a lot older then me -------------------- "'We wish the return of Linda.' they said. 'Oh, swell. She only summoned a demon lord into the tower once, she's only mildly insane, what a beautiful idea! Let's proceed at once!' I said' "'We appreciate your acquiesence,' they said. And that was that. Sarcasm is lost on that lot." He kicks a wall in irritation. ----------------------------------- What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

Well I would actually be interested in a decent XT emulator (no, actually make that a 286/386 emulator. But anyway). One that can play old games at a decent speed (i.e. 99% slowdown) without screwing up the sound or crashing by using non-documented CGA features. Any ideas? -------------------- Freude, schöner Götterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heilighthum!

I had an XT... but then I got rid of it to make room for more powerful computers. But I do keep an older 486 around to play old games without using MoSlo. One thing about Macs... you'll be playing BoA sooner. [ Tuesday, September 30, 2003 19:44: Message edited by: Frobozz ] Posts: 117 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

I like macs to (I learned how to use a computer on a Mac LC2) but for some reason I like my XT alot. I dont know why maybe I like dos (no way) or the fact that even after it cought fire it still goes. Or maybe its its fan, it sounds just like my dads sigma taking off! -------------------- "'We wish the return of Linda.' they said. 'Oh, swell.

When I was four we got a computer called Victor... It had pacman, pango, space invaders, pc-golf (ascii graphics), paratrooper among others. Then we got a 286-laptop with a whooping 20MB Harddrive. Good enough for civilization! It's all downhill from there, innit? Edit: Our neighbour had a commodore and all I remember of it is the horrible loading times.

quote:AND JUST WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? I just try to stir up discussion, by gifting an alternative point of view and a long stick with nine inch nails on it. Through each one of your eyelids. But enough of that. My good old primary school Acorn, ran on DOS in standard 3, and win3.1 in standard 4. We had the baddest game in which you were a tank, a triangle, all of the edges were lines, but it was in marvellous early 90s 3d, I'll never forget how much work was not done, the competition for the most points. I wish I could find that game and play it again.

quote:Heh... it is horrible if you're stuck with one of the 1541 drives. They are common but extremely slow. Me... I use the much faster 1571. Plus when you consider most of my games have weird turbo loaders (still not sure how they work), I could load Pitfall 2 in under 5 seconds. Posts: 117 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

quote:Sounds a lot like Specter, although I only saw that run on early Macs, like my old and beloved LC II. That was the last computer I had that functioned correctly from the time I first turned it on until the day I gave up on it for a newer Mac. —Alorael, who for a while used an old IBM. He can't remember more specifically than that what it was, but just being able to use a word processor was an amazing thing. And then, of course, he discovered games, and here he is now.
