Retro Games

Do not remember KIM but remember the ZX spectrum with the computing power of a hairdryer lol. Hope folks got the BASIC joke earlier lol
 

.......and before what we now know as computers, the rage was "Word Processors" like a PC but had no features to talk about. The screen use to take ages to load with a cursor blipping from one side of the screen to the other and from top to bottom. The images and letters were always greeny blue.
 
I remember the green-screen IBM at work, used to give me awful headaches and ended up with tinted glasses. MS DOS, now there's a thing, you actually needed some brains to use it before Windows appeared lol
 
Love it Robbity, those GOSUBs, DATAs and x=INT(RND) s have got me thinking
Yes indeed!! With a bit of twiddling you could really fancy it up and have some serious fun with it, Definitely my sort of programming, but I doubt if I could do it in BASIC now...

Well Na Night folks, hope you get to sleep and dream of those retro games. Well I have a day off tomorrow, got dentist about creaky, painful jaw joint that hurts a lot esp in the morning. Keep safe and well.
 
My attic looks like a scene from arachnophobia. I don't mind the wee spideys, they are one of god's creatures and they get a bad press.

Love a good old toothache not,Goodluck at the dentist glad you are getting it sorted.
 
I've handled tarantulas before Snowy, hairy and cute. Also handled snakes rats and all manner of wee beasties, don't have any fear, however my sisters are all terrified of anything with more than two legs unless they are cute.
 
Sort of. Saw dentist and he gave the gnashers the all clear. He has referred me to the Dental Hospital for imaging on my jaw joint which he noticed creaked and made popping noises on movement.
Oh that's good at least he has referred you,sounds like lock jaw to me (just kidding) lol.
