Who remembers 8 bit computer games?

[PhantasieTrion]

Spent many nights playing Bard's Tale on the C64.

Yep, me too. Also Might and Magic, Wizardry, Ultima, etc

Had an NEC with 30 entire Mb hard drive!!! Probably played every text game Infocom ever made.

Sinclair ZX-81. 1KB of memory! Program then play, program then play... How far have we come!

Did anyone ever use the GAC?

That was fun ....... Made lots of little adventures for myself on my Amstrad. The C64 version was way better though.

oh man, I havn't thought about 8 bit gaming in a long long time. My first system was a Ti99/4a with a handful of cartridges like Parsec, munchman, tanks(or tanx? it's been a long time), and q-bert. then Zork on floppy with separate drive that plugged into the back of the unit. Loved the old analog 2 pronged television connector to turn the tv into a monitor. happy days.

a year later, my dad gives my brother an atari2600 and I didn't look back (Nintendo, sega, playstation, ect. ect.).... until 88' when I acquired my first brick laptop (was huge, and heavy, but built like a brick schtako house) and got back into early computer gaming. while my brother joins the Nintendo army, I'm playing early home PC versions of wing commander, MechWarrior, and a bunch of learning games.

ahhh, life was an adventure back then....
