Still have my TI-83+ with all my algebra/geometry/calculus notes stored in it from 20 years ago. Pretty sure my daughter will need it in 15 years...

,8,1 was to tell it hard drive 1 on a C64. ,2 was if you had a second connected floppy drive. - as best that I remember. I also typed in the Dragon hunt game, which was many lines of basic for an ASCII dungeon troll game. with 3D first person shooter vision vs how Moria was top down. I can still program in lined basic because of this. My fav game was Dragon Riders of Pern.

8 was the drive, 1 was for loading a program into memory starting from a specified location and doesn't have anything to do with cassettes as the 2nd number. 1 did denote cassette drive as the first number though and 9 being a 2nd floppy drive.

Yeah, obviously I was talking about the first number. The second one was generally always a 1.

Did any of you guys ever use the matchmaking software Kali? I used to to play Warcraft 2 online pre battlenet. I think it worked for Duke Nukem and other games as well.

My fist computer was a commodore 64. I wish I'd had a fucking disk. Had to enter the program for the game every time someone unplugged it.
But mainly I wanted to say, wolf3d was the shit. If I had a computer that could run it, I'd still play it today. I wonder if tyen could turn it into a phone app.

Yeah was one of our favourite games next to Pole Position and Racing Destruction Kit.
We knew fuck all about how to actually win though.

I think it was pole position that loaded off the datasette ( tape player drive ) and would take 17 minutes to load.
You would plan to use the time as a break in the gaming to get some food, take toilet breaks, make a phone call, catch some sunlight.
Later we were able to afford floppy drives so we had no more of that waiting.
