Hey

Anyone playing this? I got back into it a week or so ago. Lots of fun :)

Anyone playing this? I got back into it a week or so ago. Lots of fun :)

It's on my list. As soon as I finish up a few other games I have started. I have been playing lots of C64 and Amiga games, just because I am a sucker for punishment.

How have you been? We haven't seen you around these parts for a bit. Hope all is well.

Is this online or Knights of the Old Republic I/II? Have them both for the PC/Xbox & love them both. Got the PC version off of GOG & the others off of Ebay pretty cheap...compared to the PC CD's.

KOTOR was the first game for the Xbox that I had to play straight through, it was that damn good. I got it on a Friday afternoon and didn't stop playing it till Sunday night. Ahhh, the days without kids and responsibilities.

Used to do that when I had the C64 35 years ago.

I played it when it first came out as a sub service to lvl50 then came back a little bit when they put out the expansions and went f2p but it didn't recapture me that second time.

Sure, because it took about 40% of the weekend just to load the game, lol.

Only FH, I haven't made a GD release in a while, though the git version
has some adjustments to scoring.

You may want to give it a week or so, just to see how it pans out on
fsxnet, I don't expect any problems, but you never know. That's up to
you of course though :)

Thought you might be after some of the answers I got. Many years ago...used
to do a DC superheroes online game. Made it to the 8th level & went onto
other things when I couldn't get past that level.

On the other hand...used to play that Simpson's game everyday for a year. Wasted as much time doing that as I do this now. Just got tired of not being able to get further without paying more to do so.

Had a lot of them on cart...but used to love playing MULE & Rocky Horror. Got both...but BBS'ing takes much of my time now.

I used to play DC universe online when it first came out before it went
free to play. I haven't played in a long time though.

I recently played the C64 port of Portal (which is an awesome game BTW). I decided to go old school and copy the D64 image over to a real floppy and
load it up via my 1541 that isn't using JiffyDos.

It took 7 mins and 13 secods to load the PRG and another 42 seconds to get through the decompression and title screen. After about 30 seconds my sons complained that it had frozen and we should reboot the machine, lol. I told
him that I use to start loading a game via tape when I was a kid and I would have time for a snack and to see what was on TV before it was done loading.

Started playing it after it went free. Liked it...but the further I got...the less headway I made...so I gave up.

On the other hand...got thru Doom 2 & Diablo 2-expansion using cheat codes &
I was happy to have gotten thru it...even though I did cheat.

;) Read this & thought about all those folks in the UK & such who were on
their Spectrums. They put out a drive for those...but most folks just kept using cassettes.

Don't get me wrong...if I could've gotten a real Spectrum back in the day at the right price here in the US...probably would have & skipped over Commodore.

You know your always welcome here.

(Out of left field) You ever thought of getting Magicka running on an Amiga? I'm looking for a new software package. I know C-Net is being updated but I have always been one to go against the grain.

Did you know ami/x was ported to E and opensourced?

I did. I also have it compiled and running on Amiga OS 4 running on a SAM board.

I have thought about it, I know the hardware can handle it, vorlon had
it running on an amiga with debian m68k. I just don't know the amiga os
well enough to tell how doable it is. I would like to though.

What's 'E' ?

It is an object oriented programming language on the Amiga that is very
similar to C.

Which begs the question...why did they decide to write it in E? What's the benefit? That silos it in amiga-land. It'd be cool to see a 1 for 1 port in C that runs on linux IMO. Yes, even on Ubuntu Linux. hehe.

Only if you pay for it.

That is a great question. Who knows, short of asking the developer we could only speculate. E wasn't exactly a super popular programming language. Could
be that he wanted a challenge or it might have been the only language he knew.

PortablE supposedly has a Windows compiler for Windows targets. I do not
know enough about it to know if it is an E compiler or if PortablE is
actually an E variant.
