    I was born in the early 80's, so I grew up in the 90's. I did a lot of gaming on the PC and loved the in game "achievements" you could receive (for example, playing missions of Wing Commander over and over and over until I could get the highest score I could possibly get.) When I got my XBox 360 (which lasted a surprising 4 years before it died completely.. unlike my 40 year old 2600 that still works perfectly), I enjoyed trying to unlock the different achievements. A few years ago, I learned this was not a new thing and that back in the the good old days of the Atari 2600 "achievement patches" were sent to players achieving certain scores. Who remembers these or ever got one?

     

    Developers should stop giving these online achievements and bring back the patch and letter system!! :lol:

    Just remember.... The Apple will keep you warm at night. When you have a rough day at work... Your Apple will "tell" you everything will be okay. Your Apple won't care if you go out with your friends. And your Apple will not make you choose. Keep the comp, ditch the wife.

     

    But then again, I've been married and divorced twice... So I may not be the best person to give advice on this.

     

    In reality though, she should realize that this equipment is important to you. And even try to understand why its important. My girlfriend did that with my BBS and my retro gaming and found that she likes it. If she hasn't already tried to understand. .. She may find that she enjoys it (or at least isn't hostile towards it.)

     

    There could always be a deeper issue that is bothering her and the anger about the computer equipment is an outlet for that concern she has.

     

    I hope everything works out for both of you.

    Well I'm in if we can get at least 10-20 people. Otherwise it's really not all that fun with 3 or 4 people.

     

    I currently play on a server called "BBSLink" that has quite a few players (relatively, around 10+) I use that rather than running LORD and Trade Wars on my board to give my users more players to interact with. But if enough AA members want a special section on the Black Sun BBS, I'll be happy to oblige. Just need to make sure that the AA forums are mentioned in the feedback so I can give the proper access. :)

    To all the 2600 programmers out there. What is your process when you begin working on a project? Do you have a detailed plan? a general outline?

     

    I recently started playing with batari and am wanting to put a small game together for my family to enjoy at home... and am looking for ideas on how other people get their ideas and how they structure the initial stages of their projects.

     

     

    Thanks! :)
