My first computer (commodore Vic20) had 3,5 kB RAM and no graphics at all, only text mode. But the text was in 8 colours!!!
Maybe that is why I prefer strategies and simulations than those nice, shiny and flashy action games.

lol im almost 35 now and my first cpu was a vic20...learned basic on that thing and had a cassette drive for storage...

I had a TRS Model 1 'archived' in my parents attic. Along with the cassete tape 'drive' and several hand coded basic programs I had written.

They threw the damn thing out :oops:

I was hoping it would be worth something someday... oh well.

How old?
 
56. Dear old Dad shipped out on a transport to New Guinea in the Pacific War and couldn't stand the sweat and stink down in the hold. After a few days he came up on to the deck for a little fresh air. In the middle of the ocean in the middle of that night he looked up and saw a million stars. Always wanted to know what it might feel like out there heading into battle. Guess that's why I like this game so much. You guys sure are making it a pleasure to play it. Thanks!:up:

As an Old Codger, I love this game...I seldom set Time Compress....I just set a course (real-time) out of my home base and then take my mid-afternoon nap...I don't miss a thing!

3 smalll kids, one small hot wife, been into subsims since Aces of the deep almost caused me to flunk out of college. I'm a corporate pilot by trade which is probably why flight sims don't do a thing for me.....it's like going to work.

I envy you! I'm a flight simmer, always wanted to become a corporate pilot but I can't because my eyesight was not great, and they don't approve modern laser-eye surgery methods!

Dipped my toe into the world of Subsimming via Silent Service 2 on the Atari.
Now 18 years on the book cases are groaning under the weight of all the naval related books that that game inspired me to buy.
Best decision I ever made. :arrgh!:

Thread H/J sorry - The FAA has no problem with Laser eye surgery, as long as it is successful :D 20/20 to them is all that matters...as long as you get there somehow....glasses, Lasik, genetics....whatever.
