Pre- 1995 computers

Thats interesting. I have no idea what computers it could be though. (Probably Atari 800)

The Sega Masters System had a hidden game in its bios. It was a maze game with a snail.


Edit:I never got a chance to use an Atari 400/800 but I do remember this being sold at Toys R' Us for around eighty dollars in 1989. Think its compatible (if you have floppies) with those atari's.

It uses batteries?

I'm not to familiar with the TRS-80 but I do remember a computer lab having a row of them. Some of the geography programs were on it. I remember it having a drawing program to because one of our assignments was to draw the U.S. and try to identify the states for bonus points.

The things I remember...

It was the last piece of hardware to have original Bill Gates code on it (at least that's what I'm told).

It was probably around that time that he began concentrating on Windows and all its subsequent releases.

I just dug out our TRS-80, model 100 from storage.

I have one of those sitting at my office....

I was curious about the TRS-80 computer and after ALOT of work, I got an emulator working for it. I think this game is amazing, its called The Dungeons of Daggorath. It's probably one of the first 3d games available. The commands are pretty hard because you have to memorize and have fast typing skills. It gets pretty intense.

Talk about a flashback. I remember that game.

I'm a real geek about old things like this Just getting an emulator to run it probably took me four hours.

It reminds me (but is a bit better) than an old D&D game on Intellivision. I'm wondering which is older. Both are from '81 just before the release of Ultima. (which if sort of the rpg standard of the time)
