ChristinaTherese Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I found a box of old floppy disks in our house. I mean, I always knew they were there and that we have an external floppy drive, but I hadn't put two and two together before. So I'm looking at old pictures now. We have games too.... and MS-DOS (Maybe Some Day an Operating System) installation/uninstallation. I don't dare use the latter and I want to use an emulator to use the former. I mean, there's awesome stuff like Yendor, King's Quest, Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen, Elfland, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, and Snarf. Definitely Snarf.

Deus te Amat Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you don't have number crunchers or oregon trail, I'm not interested. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 We have Oregon Trail. But I don't like that game. I like the games where my brother got closer to dying... I mean, I've never disliked him for anything much greater than speaking pig latin with our older sister and not letting me know what was going on, and I certainly never wanted him to die. But in a computer game.... Sure. Oh, and King's Quest is just wonderful. (It had so much better of visual stuff than most. And there were some really fun puzzle things.)

Deus te Amat Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Do you still have a computer with floppy disc capability? Because that is totes cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaTherese Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 We have an external drive. I don't even have a CD-ROM drive on my laptop, sadly enough. I have an external one of those, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfink Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you wanted to do emulation, it's totally possible. For MSDOS, consider using DOSBOX. I have used it to successfully run DOOM and Descent 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 oregon trail!!! time for everyone to die of dysentery!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I love Oregon Trail, the classic Apple II version, specifically. I know Applesoft Basic and 6502, and decompiled it to discover vulnerabilities in computer class. While everyone else died of dysentery, I would make it to Oregon several times using my huge team of overpowerd drag-racing oxen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I like oregon trail, but I also LOOOOVED Chip's Challenge.... and a wild little program that generated pretty 'oriental rugs' to be used as screen savers. Looked like stained glass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
