Rumor has it that Jim Strickland may have mentioned these words:
This program and I have a long history. A friend of
mine got his mom - who
typed at some obscenely high rate - to type the whole thing into his
commodore
64, and we exchanged versions of it with
"graphics" (okay we substituted
commodore specific characters for the letters) and primitive sound effects.
Where that disk is I have no idea, I'm sure it's long gone.
Boy, does that bring back memories... A friend of mine *way back when* had
a Commie 64 w/2 floppies (back when they were lotsa $$$) and we played a
game called "Telengard"... I believe that's the correct spelling. Pretty
neat game, was in basic. I remember the original programmer never bothered
to program in a save game function, so my buddy and I did one day... [[Boy,
those were the days... If you don't like it, Fix it! ;-) Something Gates
needs to learn... ;-)]]
ISTR that the tape the game originally came on had versions for a few
Commies, the Atari 800, and Believe it or not, the CoCo! all on the same
tape. Anyone have that game floating around... now that I have a 64 & 128?
Thanks,
