The word is spreading

Heh well prior to that post I was actually looking at a Youtube playthrough of it That'll do me. The games were memorable for me but only because of how funny it was that I got stuck in both in very similar ways

Ah, the Commodore 64. When my family got one it was the coolest thing ever. I remember playing Adventure and the Zork series on it. I think that's when I got bit by the video game (and the adventure game) bug.

Hehe yeah. The days of putting in a casette tape to play a game and walking away while it loads for 3 hours I remember we also had a book about how to do programming on the C64 but never really did much with it.

I know we had a Texas Instruments gaming console. I vaguely remember a text based game that was fun and used a cassette. And Facemaker where you designed faces. Good times.

Speaking of the Commodore 64... I remembered a game i used to watch my older brother play when I was little...

The Commodore is what started it all for Chris Jones and Bruce Carver. They started Access Software and went into the business specifically to develop for it.

I wasn't into the C64 but without it none of us would be here. I can respect that.

you people are so antique
maybe you even have a phonograph to play this

Just saw this on the kickstarter:

The Obsolete Graffiti blog put up another update on the Tex Kickstarter, awesome! So good to see the word spreading!

http://obsoletegraffiti.wordpress.com/2 ... -888-xbox/

Check it out, it's a good read.

Kickstarter made Project Fedora their staff pick of the day (IE all day it will be the first thing anyone sees if they go to Kickstarter.com). Hopefully that will make today a very good day for pledges.
