A minor moment of geekery for me: I backed the Kickstarter for Amiga Power, a two-disc set of remixes from the titular computer (and the underground magazine of the same game), and my physical copy arrived yesterday. Feels good to jam to those tracks. I have almost no computer nostalgia - when I was a kid I never owned one (nor did my parents), in school we were mostly using Commodore PETs, and the only friend I had who owned a home computer had a TRS-80 (Tandy Radio Shack), and my one cousin owned an Apple IIe. Ironically, in spite of the fact that I never had or knew anyone who had a Commodore 64, it's always the computer I sort of associate with that era of time. It wasn't until 386 PCs started becoming common that I really started interacting with them (and Macs), so the first real old-timey nostalgia I have for computers kind of goes back to that period (and telnetting to the local BBS to download pirated adventure games). I'm not 100% sure, but the first PC game I ever played might be Zork. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard! |
