THE 64 Computer

[THE 64 Computer]

We know.

 

So, a GMail address? Why not under a real domain?

I was wondering the same thing. I am interested in the project though.

What BBS platform is the Black Sun? Running WWIV on my end - also have TW2002, Planets:TEOS, BRE (I think) PimpWARS etc... room for more!

Blood Stone BBS - bsbbs.com 80 or 23

 

J..

I currently run Synchronet, but I have experimented with Mystic and WWIV. I'll check out your board when I get home from work, and if you don't mind I'll set up a telgate so my users can connect to your board.

I loved Trade Wars 2002! I would dial into the BBS I frequented most and play for almost my total time allotted on that board. I switched to LORD after a teacher I had a huge crush on convinced me to give it a shot. She and I played together for quite a while until that particular board closed down. *sigh* Those were fun times. I often miss those days....

 

Currently, I play LORD through BBSLink and have introduced some people to the wonderful world of BBSing and LORD though my BBS (The Black Sun BBS - telnet to blacksunbbs.ddns.net:23) Shameless plug - Feel free to "call" in

[How come a lot getting into retro games skip Atari?]

My experience with the Atari is a little different as well. I started my gaming on an old Commodore 64. I remember typing commands to load the games, waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the games to load,using a control much like the Atari 2600... and the game Alien scaring the living shit out of me (hey... I was only 5!)

 

I moved on to NES and wasted many hours. .. then moved on to SNES. By the time N64 came out, I was pretty much into PC gaming and BBSes (I now run my own BBS... let the nostalgia fly!) But I remember an old Arcade game hidden in the back or a laundromat... or a bus station... many that were ported to Atari (or maybe the other way around) but they always had a special feel to them.

 

I've been thinking about getting a new console for a while and settled on an Atari 2600. Since I'm now grown with young kids to look after, I think introducing them to the Atari 2600 would help them appreciate the advancements of the video game industry as well as the pioneering spirit of Atari.

 

In fact I found a tutorial for VBB and Stella and played with the code a bit. My 7 year old played with the end result and absolutely loved it. Now. It looks like Atari might be a new family fun activity. ☺
